| Abstract
|
:
|
In February of 2011, newly elected British Prime Minister David Cameron addressed the Munich Security Conference on the genesis of <islamist extremism=''> and <terrorism> in Europe. In his address, he argued that the erosion of the British identity has contributed to <islamist extremism=''> within the United Kingdom. Cameron blamed <multiculturalism> for enabling Muslims to lead separate lives and refusing to identify as British. Michael Calvin McGee's ideographic framework is used to examine the diachronic structures that influenced David Cameron's speechand the synchronic use of <multiculturalism> within his speech. From anti-immigrant and racist attitudes that amplified in the 1960's to anti-Muslim sentiments that emerged in the 1990's, the diachronic nature of <multiculturalism> suggests that the United Kingdom struggled to accommodate the racial and religious minorities within its borders. In an effort to promote his agenda of <muscular liberalism=''>, David Cameron capitalizes on the diachronic grammar to synchronically construct a relationship between <multiculturalism>,<terrorism>, and <islamist extremism=''>. The implications of Cameron's address are discussed.</islamist></terrorism></multiculturalism></muscular></multiculturalism></multiculturalism></multiculturalism></islamist></terrorism></islamist>
