Do you believe that cultural differences cause many problems?
Or it's people who are unwilling to accept cultural differences that are the problem.

The idea that everything cultural needs to be protected is useless. Change is inevitable and it will happen no matter what people choose to believe. There are good differences, harmless differences and bad differences.
If you reject someone, you won't be able to help him understand the bad. He/she will refer even more to what seems like his roots and seek a sense of belonging to the extent that they become willing to sacrifice their individuality and moral compass for belonging.
A moderate place where all are tolerated as people and extremities aren't encouraged for the fear of Islamophobia or anti Semitism...etc would be the ideal.

Very well said! Only when we are willing and able to look at our own (for us natural) culture as something which is not natural or better, are we able to better and more appropriately understand other cultures, with their own customs and values which have come into being under completely different conditions.
