A large portion of Britain's Muslims are not assimilating to a high
standard of liberal values. Beliefs that many consider 'extremist'
are in fact surprisingly common. As the Muslim minority grows in
share of Europe's population the situation in society will either
become more peaceful, or it will become more violent. This book
contends that at present the West is headed toward increasing
violence. McDonald argues there is a Multicultural Paradox amongst
political, civic, and religious leadership preventing them from
responding to degenerate beliefs and visions for the future. Led by
its vibrant and diverse capitol Britain must step forward to
reframe this problem from one of religion to one of values. Peace
will come only by rooting laws, policies, and the bounds of
cultural tolerance in the values of freedom. This book will be
valuable to Muslims and non- Muslims alike as they confront the
challenge of remaining open to faith while protecting the
nonnegotiable position of liberal policies as the only viable root
of free society.
