#1 Fixed ideas are anathema to Western Civilization. Eventually, our politicians will have to settle the issue of set core values, and base our Constitution on same. Our treatment of the internal Muslim menace, does not reflect an appropriate balance of liberty and security. They need to be kept on a tight leash, with a choke hold. To a Muslim, indulgence means: jihad terror license.

#2 almost all Western media organizations reporting from the Middle East are reliant on local staff overwhelmingly sympathetic to one side in the conflict

Indeed they are. Would that this was the only problem. Shall we add:

How American academias deluge of self-loathing devolves from:

1) Falsely assigning a zero-sum equation to capitalism

2) Blind adherence to a Puritan Christian heritage that exalts altruism

3) Their same detestation of ego and all forms of enlightened self-service

4) Intense hatred of independent thought and the indispensable nature of creativity

But, even so, it's quite a leap to omit the most pertinent fact and leave the impression the Sydney constabulary are combing the city for mullets.

Leave those fish out of this!
