One Voice of Common Sense For England - ClassicalLib17 - 04-20-2010
Quote:Another cautionary tale, folks. Multiculturalism may work for an artists community, but, do we really want to continue this Progressive, societal destruction of our culture?. Do you really want to continue to support these radical, destructive social policies? I can't speak for you, but I am a proud American.
The UK Department of Health recently announced that it would loosen hygiene rules for Muslim and Sikh doctors and nurses. From now on, Muslim female staff will not need to wash their hands before procedures as it compromises their modesty. Instead, they will have the admittedly less sanitary option of wearing disposable plastic over-sleeves.
Acknowledging the danger of microbes and death, a Department of Health spokesman said, âThe guidance is intended to . . . balance infection control measures with cultural beliefs.â But, believe it or not, from a culturist perspective, the death of some patients is not the main cause for concern that this policy elicits.
The most dangerous problem is that this policy encodes multiculturalism not culturism. Whereas culturism acknowledges that England has a majority culture to protect and promote, this multiculturalist policy implicitly says that England has no core culture. It says that the nation can be whatever pressure groups decide it is. It, therefore, officially ends the dominance of English culture in England.
If you think this is hyperbole, consider the decisionâs potential impact on schools. If we are going to implement policies that recognize and give legal standing to balkanize our culture, we must think it through to such a broader societal impact. This legal precedent may require us to set up schools in which Islamic teachings are taught. If that seems extreme, keep in mind that multiculturalism has currently made it nearly a firing offense to criticize Islam in our schools.
When we encode multiculturalist school policy, we have a recursive loop of disaster. When we cannot criticize Islam, we cannot teach that much of Western history has been about fighting Islam. We must erase the concept that our defending Europe against Islamic invasion led the way to the Enlightenment and, ultimately, to our political freedoms. And when our school children are taught not to value our Western culture, they will not feel any sense of pride, have reasons to defend the civic virtues that make England strong, or possess a desire to protect their homeland.
Islam has been at war with the West nearly continuously since its inception. Wherever it takes over it imposes a ruthless theocracy that smothers the freedoms we hold dear. We cannot protect the West with policies that say Islam is equal to our civilization. Culture is not metaphysical. It exists in space and people. Everywhere Islam has legal standing and is practiced is a space where English culture does not exist and is not practiced. It means the territory of defending Western values has shrunk and that believing in Islamic values has grown. The hospitals are now becoming Islamic.
England has a culture. To survive, England must set up culturist policy that affirms that this is English land with Western practices. We must tell people that our schools will teach the glories of the European defense against Islam and the contribution philosophers such as John Locke made to creating the Western concept of rights. Our streets must not become areas where women must conform to Muslim customs. Just as Saudi Arabia has an Islamic culture and protects it, England has a culture and a right to protect it. To survive, England must enact culturist, not multiculturalist policies.

This is not really an issue about culture. The writer maybe is trying to turn it into an issue about culture. It's an issue about science. To put in into it's simplest terms, in a scientific setting religion should always have less priority than science. Some think it should always have less priority.
Another thing puzzles me about the author. Is he saying that multi-culturism cannot itself be a cultural trait? He seems to be fearlul of change. This resistance to change is likely based in religion. One thing that is important for ALL humans, Islamics, Christians, everyone, to understand is that we are all about change, we are emergent beings. We are always changing. If that were not true we would still be living like the other animals. I guess resistance to change is one of the things that holds us back.
I agree that every step toward sterility in any environment where invasive proceedures are undertaken is good but are efforts being made to make the room and all the equipment that is in the room sterile. They wash hands, wear gloves that may or may not be sterile, they wear special clothing, clean the patient, but all the while the room where the proceedure takes place is largely ignored in terms of sterility. There is a higher degree of strerility in a semiconductor manufacturing facility.
