text: I've traveled to places where people's primary identification is with their religion. Where cities are divided into "The Muslim quarter", "the Jewish Quarter", "the Christian Quarter", etc. Where villages are identified as "a Christian village" or "a Muslim village" or "a Jewish village". That's people'S primary social identity.
  
  Canada and most of the modern, western world have managed to avoid that kind of sectarian social division, people live in religiously mixed neighborhoods and don't even know what religion their neighbours are for the most part, it isn't relevant in everyday life.
  
  So sad to see that might be ending and we are going the way of primary identification by religion. Is this really what anyone thinks was intended by "official multiculturalism"?
