Global debate on Cameron’s multiculturalism speech
By Brian Wheeler
Political reporter, BBC NewsWhen David Cameron said he wanted to see the end of “state multiculturalism” the media firestorm it provoked in the UK soon blew itself out – but it is a different story in other parts of the world.
The latest figure to wade into the row is Marine Le Pen, the new leader of France’s far right Front National, who has congratulated Mr Cameron for what she claimed was his endorsement of her party’s position.
She told the Financial Times: “It is exactly the type of statement that has barred us from public life for 30 years.”
The Conservative Party said Ms Le Pen had failed to understand Mr Cameron’s speech, in which he called for less tolerance of extremism and an end to the doctrine of multiculturalism which encourages different communities to live separate lives.But a trawl through the international media, thanks to the experts at BBC Monitoring, reveals some very different interpretations of what Mr Cameron had to say – some of which could have consequences for British foreign policy.
Some commentators have accused him of lending legitimacy to the far right.He also signalled a tougher stance on groups promoting Islamist extremism.
The speech angered some Muslim groups, while others queried its timing amid an English Defence League rally in the UK.
