A thought shortly after waking, that headache (and other more pleasant distractions) have kept me from researching (I'll STFW later) or pulling apart in depth in my head, so I'll toss it out with a "Warning: Half Baked" label on it as a reminder to get back to and in hope that folks'll find' it interesting enough to comment on and save me some effort:

Multiculturalism mostly works pretty well until too high a percentage of fundamentalists are in the mix, then the real difficulties start.

Thoughts?

(This comes from thinking about Canadian multiculturalism and what possibly flawed impressions I have of it from looking at it at this distance (I get the impression that the "whoops, here's a stumbling block we have to figure out how to work around" issues are mostly from Islamic fundamentalists) and where opposition to multiculturalism in the US seems to come from (Christian fundamentalists) ... and something I heard on the radio last night but no longer remember the details of. But I may be speaking from ignorance here; I'm not sure yet.)
