Abstract
The terrorist attacks of 2001 unleashed a fear of Islamic fundamentalism in Western societies. This fear has freed Western politics from the uncomfortable constraints of cultural relativism, and has made it permissible – really – to prefer some cultures to others. There is some irony in the fact that liberalism itself allows, or even fosters, this preference, on the grounds that some cultures espouse “illiberal” values. This in turn leads to the loss of the liberal dream of immigration, which had served as a core underpinning of the settler society ethos. The true-or-not realization that some newcomers will not bend to the liberal values that are required or expected of immigrant communities is a long step from a focus on fundamentalism. But the two are often presented as inextricably linked. This ostensible linkage is at the heart of how the fear of Islamic fundamentalism becomes the second factor contributing to the end of settler societies. This chapter explores how this fear has both affected immigration regulation, and flowed outwards in all directions into a troubling Western acceptance of Islamic “culture” as unintelligible to liberalism.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
