Great Scott

One of France's most famous contemporary philosophers interviewed by Der Spiegel speaks on the failures of multi-cultural immigration in France.
Like France, Australia's loopy left-wing sentimentalists have condemned us in the past to such a fate, the evidence of which is in the news on an almost daily basis, and the continued flood of such unsuitable 'citizen' candidates has only been circumvented by the boldness (in the face of socialistic savagery) and fortitude of immigration minister Scott Morrison.
An excerpt: (red highlights mine for emphasis)
Finkielkraut: Immigration used to go hand-in-hand with integration into French culture. That was the rule of the game. Many of the new arrivals no longer want to play by that rule. If the immigrants are in the majority in their neighborhoods, how can we integrate them? There used to be mixed marriages, which is crucial to miscegenation. But their numbers are declining. Many Muslims in Europe are re-Islamizing themselves. A woman who wears the veil effectively announces that a relationship with a non-Muslim is out of the question for her.
SPIEGEL: Aren't many immigrants excluded from mainstream society primarily for economic reasons?
Finkielkraut: The left wanted to resolve the problem of immigration as a social issue, and proclaimed that the riots in the suburbs were a kind of class struggle. We were told that these youths were protesting against unemployment, inequality and the impossibility of social advancement. In reality we saw an eruption of hostility toward French society. Social inequality does not explain the anti-Semitism, nor the misogyny in the suburbs, nor the insult "filthy French." The left does not want to accept that there is a clash of civilizations.
