Multiculturalism is the past, present, and future. Cultures that refuse to adapt are either destroyed, made irrelevent, or forced to adapt at gunpoint: look at East Asia: Japan adapted when Manchu China refused to, and one had a much, much better time of it. The United Kingdom's whole history is based on the notion of blending cultures (one, being the "United" Kingdom, two the absolute mongrel that is the English language). Contrary to popular belief, the Muslim world has a lot of multicultural facets (the longstanding triple influence of Arabic, Turkish, and Persian cultures, the Greek sciences and philosophies that they adapted and preserved through the Dark Ages). Many of the great superpowers of history were built on their willingness to adapt certain cultural values, finding a blend between values and techniques that made them very successful.
