What Islamic support for multiculturalism? Islamic states have always discriminated against minorities. I'm not talking about pluralistic Muslim-majority states (Malaysia is a decent example, even with all its problems and discrimination in favour of Malay-speaking Muslims) in which support for multiculturalism comes from the same reasoning as anywhere else, I mean actualy Islamic states which are by definition discriminatory.
Even if you ignore Islamic states, there's a naivete in multiculturalism in the expectation that there will be no serious issues about cultural differences, inequality, and lack of respect between cultures. It's not even possible to make Belgium a multicultural state only considering the people whose families have lived there for centuries.
