Multiculti Eminently Compatible With the Koran

Wahida Valiante, president of the Canadian Islamic Congress, confirms something I have been aware of for some time: Canada's social doctrine of multiculturalism and the Koran are muy simpatico. In an article on the CIC website about this year's Islamic History Month Canada, sweet Wahida writes:

Multiculturalism became an official Canadian government policy in 1971. Since then, Canada has been cited as a world leader in diversity issues and a model of social engineering and institutional arrangement.

The Qur’an also very clearly speaks of this:

“O people! We have created you from a (single pair) male and female, and made you into, nations and tribes that you may know each other (Li Ta’arafu) … ” (Qur’an 49:13) 

Tres profound, no? Personally, though, I prefer the American motto "E Pluribus Unum" ("out of many, one")--the reason, no doubt, I'm so out of step with multiculti, the CIC and the Koran.
