European leaders are one by one denouncing the policy of multiculturalism. The latest “fail” stamp came from French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who said he does not want people to pray in an “ostentatious way” in the street. As popular unrest stirs up Northern Africa, there are fears of a fresh wave of immigrants flocking to the EU and the Old World is not waiting for them with open arms. The concept of multiculturalism seems to be failing all around Europe.
The one who started the trend was German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “This approach has failed, utterly,” she said. Then British Prime Minister David Cameron weighed in, saying, “We failed to provide a vision of society to which they feel they want to belong.”
The heads of state have only now realized what many observers and radicals have been saying for quite some time. “Multiculturalism will only function if people coming to the country will have a job, have their own money and feel responsible for the community,” says immigration officer Arnold Mengelkoch from Copenhagen. “Otherwise, they are jobless people who lead a passive life with social welfare.”
