Norway’s ineffective dealing with Muslim gay bashing is a lesson in the dangers of multiculturalism. That’s a problem for Durham since multiculturalism is almost a religion among Durham’s leaders:

Multiculturalists can’t face all this. So it is that even when there are brutal gay-bashings, few journalists write about them; of those who do, few mention that the perpetrators are Muslims; and those who do mention it take the line that these perpetrators are lashing out in desperate response to their own oppression.

Does that approach sound familiar? It almost sounds like an excerpt from Mayor Bill Bell’s recent state of the city speech, and Ellen Reckhow’s state of the county address last night.
