He was not criticizing ethnic and cultural pluralism, but the idea of “state multiculturalism,” which applies different moral standards to various social groups. In the future, Cameron declared, Muslim groups that do not, for example, endorse women’s rights, defend freedom of expression, or promote integration would lose all government funding.
卡梅伦对多元文化主义的诘责可谓直言不讳。“坦率地讲”，他说，“我们需要减少近年来的被动忍耐，构建更为积极有力的自由主义。” 他所批评的不是种族和文化的多元性，而是对不同社会团体适用不同道德标准的“国家多元文化主义”。 比方说卡梅伦宣布，今后不支持女性权利、捍卫言论自由或促进种族融合的穆斯林团体将失去一切政府资助。
