That's my point, NATIONAL culture. Every European state has that now. But do you think with millions of immigrants with different value's coming in, that'll remain the same? Look at how many places don't even say "merry christmas" because they may offend someone. I still believe in such value's, but many don't seem to bother anymore. The reason we have modern society is because of nationalism. Otherwise, we'd still be split into fuedal states that would be run by kings and going nowhere.

National culture is not the same thing as nationalism. Also, I believe that it depends on how we react to the immigrants. If we treat them warmly and with help, they are much more likely to adapt to the culture of the country. However, if we ostracize and discriminate against them they will keep to themselves and feel as though it is because of their religion: they will them radicalize.

Discriminate? We've done as much as we can to integrate them. If they don't want too, nothing will change their mind. And whatever, nationalism is something completely different. But its also the reason the modern world exists. Without a national unity, what makes us different from the feudal state's in Europe 100s of years ago?
