why did the west commit to multiculturalism?

[Adrian II]

surely the reason Europe has lots of muslim immigrants [...]

It's hasn't. That's why this whole debate is absurd. About 3% of the population of the European Union are muslims. This percentage has been stable for years and is expected to go down since muslims are gradually adopting European birthrates. Many of those listed as muslims are not immigrants. Bulgaria for instance has 13% muslims, most of who were there since the Ottoman days. Many others are not observant, even though they are registered as muslims. In France for instance only half of immigrants from muslim countries are observant.

Just a few facts. I thought they couldn't hurt.

I was talking about the fact most of the acual people who actually immigrate here year on year are muslim by default not by some leftist design.
