Is Multiculturalism a failed social experiment?

It's completely failed yes. I can't see much good about it, mostly it causes major problems. Problems you aren't even allowed to discuss because it isn't politically correct.

Plus it destroys the historical heritage of cultures in Europe. Everything is merging into a huge boring melting pot. That sux.

Blah... historical heritage = idealized nationalistic nonsense aimed at making your own country seem amazing and at stirring resentment towards other nations.

Im all for multiculturalism, but preserving identity is extremely important, if we dont protect certain european values and traditions we might as well give up protecting freedom of speech or tolerance (which are part of that heritage)

I totally agree, some values need to be preserved. But only those that have a logical basis and contribute to the general well-being of human beings (like for example freedom of speech). Obviously we should reject things like Sharia Law (don't know if I've spelled it correctly), because it would undermine any progress made by European states in therms of civil rights. Plus, if I personally get annoyed when so-called secular states don't have the guts to put religious minorities in their place (especially muslims).
