LONDON - He was one of the highlights of Blairism: the idea of a multicultural society in which all ethnic groups, races, religions of the world can live together with equal rights, without giving up their values, their principles, their own traditions. The "Cool Britannia" of Tony Blair had done so.
Indian, Chinese, Jamaicans, Pakistanis, Arabs, blacks and whites and every "color" in the "Cool Britannia" maintained with pride, like a flag, its own identity, while living, working and voting in the United Kingdom. An opposite pattern, in a sense, that of the United States, where immigrants from all over the world enter the "melting pot", the melting pot that breeds originating in and produce a new, American.
But now David Cameron proclaims that the British model is no longer good: multiculturalism has failed, he says, because he left young Muslims vulnerable to Islamic radicalism. In a speech yesterday at a security conference in Monaco of Bavaria, the conservative leader has clearly taken the distance by the philosophy that has emerged in the years of Blair: "It is time to turn the page on the failed policies of the country - he said - for First, instead of ignoring this extremist ideology, the government and society will address it in all its forms.
Under the doctrine of state multiculturalism have encouraged different cultures to live separate lives, apart and detached from the main one. We were unable to provide a vision of society in which ethnic minorities or religious feeling of wanting to belong. All this has enabled some young Muslims feel uprooted.
"For the British prime minister is therefore time to leave the" passive tolerance "of the United Kingdom to the different cultures existing in the country and replace it with a" liberalism active muscle "to convey the message that life in Britain revolves around certain key values such as freedom of speech, equality of rights and the rule of law.
"passively tolerant a society is neutral between different values - said Cameron - a country really does a lot more liberal. I believe in certain values and actively promotes them. "This was his first speech as prime minister on religious radicalism and the causes of terrorism. Britain needs a national identity stronger to prevent all forms of extremism: This is essentially the view of the leader of the head of government, which also promises a tougher line against groups that promote Islamic extremism, particularly in taking greater control groups that receive public funds.
"Frankly it's time to ask these groups believe in universal human rights, including women's rights and those of people of other faiths?" He asked Cameron. "They believe in equality of all before the law? They believe in democracy?". The Muslim Council of Britain, the organization that represents the two million British Muslims, has reacted by commenting that the prime minister seems to regard the Islamic community in the UK "part of the problem rather than part of the solution."
