Genesis 11:1-9 (KJV)
11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Multiculturalists presume to think that they know what is best. They try and stop Christmas from being celebrated in state schools for example because it might offend Muslims and Jews,who incidentally have not said anything against Christmas-yet!!!
This presumption started in Genesis 11 ,and will continue until Christ returns,when He will put all things right.
Bravo, Old Boy. I made the same comparison talking to a friend a few months ago.
Thank you Sirs.
Dude-- I must confess this is not particularly original insight of mine. I have read on a number of sites (the names of which elude me at present) the labelling of Multiculturalism as Neo-babelism. This quotation was simply to remind others that God separated the Nations for a reason. And in the original Babel - they gave up when the Nations were divided by language. Today we keep on building despite the language differences and ignore concerns about the rickityness of the resulting Tower.
