The Yahoo News website reports today (February 11, 2011) that French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared yesterday in a television interview that multiculturalism has failed.
"My answer is yes, it is a failure," he said when asked about the policy which advocates that host societies welcome and foster distinct cultural and religious immigrant groups.
"If you come to France, you accept to melt into a single community, which is the national community, and if you do not want to accept that, you cannot be welcome in France," the right-wing president said.
Last year -- backed by the strong support of President Sarkozy -- France became the first country in all of Europe to prohibit Muslim women from wearing the burqa in public.
