Or the moderate who tries to play the middle, criticizing both sides to make himself look wise and intelligent and "above all of that."

Criticizing both points isn't to make oneself look better - hell criticize them all. Criticize me - and do so brutally, but logically and with a point. I'll listen. All hold an idea in different shapes called multiculturalism. That notion makes me gag - both from an academic perspective and from simply a human perspective.
Multiculturalism isn't celebrating different cultures, it's melding them into one culture - that's regurgitated and handed to people by political demigogues. It effectively strips each culture of the individual characteristics that make it unique and in many ways innately beautiful. It further puts a gun to the head of it's own advocates. The more traits they "meld" away...the less chance those advocates and followers have for survival. Diversity = survival; the ability to adapt and survive as a result of different traits being available.
Diversity doesn't mean "diversity as long as you agree with us."
