El Diablo Habla Espanol?

The debate over Samuel Huntington's Who Are We? gets a little hotter, as Carlos Fuentes weighs in for NPQ, accusing Huntington of propagating a "brown menace" argument, but not before reaching back to slam The Clash of Civilizations for its "profound ignorance of the true kulturkampf evident in the Islamic world." Fuentes is particularly hard on Huntington for assuming that waves of Spanish-speaking immigrants will divide the United States solely by the sound of their voices:

To stigmatize the Spanish language as a divisive, practically subversive, factor demonstrates the racist, divisive and provocative spirit of Professor Huntington. To speak a second (or a third or fourth language) is a sign of culture throughout the world excepting, it would seem, in the Monolingual Eden invented by Huntington. To establish the requirement of a second language in the US (as occurs in Mexico and in France) would eliminate the Satanic effects that Huntington attributes to the language of Cervantes.
