I just love the way these G&M opeds try to manipulate the populace.  This one, like many others before it, subvertly claim that all the ills of the people and future ills are caused by conservatism, nationalism, so-called islamaphobia, and/or racism.  What if culturally homogenous societies are actually the strongest?  What if nationalism creates a source of pride in their ( legal!) citizens?  Oh, wait....there's no historical precedent for that, is there?
