The movement promoting multiculturalism was very powerful in the UK also (actually far more than in most European countries: France in particular is very insistent on assimilation and on everyone adhering to canon French culture).

However the bombings on July 7th came as a nasty wake-up, a demonstration that multicultural policies were not only misguided but at times actively harmful: because by promoting a separatist ethos as equally valid, it was only encouraging those who wanted to push that ethos to one ultimate conclusion or indeed to entirely their own ends. Similar acceptance of lunacy as equally valid came with us protecting such nasty pieces of work as Abu Qatada.

(In case you haven't guessed I've never accepted certain post-modernist agenda, whether pushing conceptual art as equal to figurative or in its cultural relativism mode).
