"Australia's former prime minister John Howard has attacked "multiculturalism" in English-speaking nations, saying that some sectors have gone too far in accommodating Muslim minorities."
"The blunt-talking conservative, who led Australia for 11 years before losing 2007 elections, said Tuesday on a visit to Washington that the "Anglosphere" needed to take greater pride in its values and achievements."
""People want to live in the United States not because of some futuristic ideal of multiculturalism, but because of what they regard as the American way of life and American values," he said."
"He criticized those who would make cultural identity "mushy and unclear and undistinct," rejecting the "assumption that the way to win favor from extremism is to make yourself a little more attractive to that extremism.""

Blair puhui taannoin hieman saman suuntaisia. Virka-aikana kumpikaan ei pihahtanutkaan. Ovat olleet mukana luomassa sitä ongelmaa mikä meillä on edessä, ja nyt puhuvat miten siihen pitäisi vastata. Olisi varmaan silloin kannattanut tehdä jotain kun oli valtaa.
Aika munattomia äijiä.
Minun käsittääkseni Howard teki kautensa aikana tiukennuksia maahanmuuttopolitiikkaan ja pisti moskeijat valvontaan, jottei niissä lietsottaisi jihadian sun muuta ei-niin-kivaa...
