aeeeyyyyyy-yup.
Radical Islam is what multiculturalism has been waiting for all along. ...[the argument goes] our tolerance of our own tolerance is making us intolerant of other people’s intolerance, which is intolerable. And, unlikely as it sounds, this has now become the highest, most rarefied form of multiculturalism. So you’re nice to gays and the Inuit? Big deal.
