In defence of both multiculturalism and progressive nationalism: A response to Mike O'Donnell

The article presents a response to the previous article "We need human rights not nationalism 'lite,'" by Mike O'Donnell, also included in the issue, discussing the governmental and social policies of multiculturalism and a pluralistic nationalism in Great Britain. The author particularly highlights the growing social prejudices against Muslims in British society after various terrorist bombings since 2001. The author affirms O'Donnell's position advocating social cohesion and solidarity, but also presents a criticism and contrasting paradigm of his views on multiculturalism.
