Columbia Univeristy Press calls
multiculturalism or
cultural pluralism:
Quote:

a term describing the coexistence of many cultures in a locality, without any one culture dominating the region. By making the broadest range of human differences acceptable to the largest number of people, multiculturalism seeks to overcome racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination.

I don't think Blair's statement, if taken purely at face value goes against multiculturalism one bit, unless one means to say violence is some sort of culture, or unless one is arguing that Islamic culture is inherently violent.
This isn't entirely new ground though. Anybody think Bobby Seale or Malcom X should have been deported from the US in the early 70s? Would that have solved the problem of black violence in the civil rights era?
