Having some positive identification with modern European civilization, being a self-confessed moderate socialist, without any identifyable religious belief (and strong opposition to all forms of religious fundamentalism)... and at the same time recognizing a rational, non-extreme (and that goes for both right and left) attitude towards multiple cultures in one society...
...you can see I'm not a happy reader just from that paragraph 
It clearly addresses one side of the coin - which is fine by itself - but even the language is very poorly-chosen. It's not that I'm offended; it's more that I'm not convinced, despite some very valid points being made.

OK. You may disagree with the author's premise. But I fail to see the blatant bigotry or racism in it's context.
I just think the words "bigotry" and "racism" are used all too often where they may not necessarily be applicable. I myself have a hard time believing this writer is coming from a racially bigoted viewpoint in coming to his conclusions. Just take a look at what's currently happening in France. The quote above that you cite from the author has some validation.
