#1 Islamism and myopic political correctness are the two jaws of the same trap.

He's left off western cultural guilt and social inequality, but I reckon myopic PC would be all inclusive.

#2 Funny thing this "western cultural guilt", very selective.

#4 At the root of it is a reluctance to admit that some culture-types produce harmful economic and social effects.

Don't bother, they will continue to confront you.

Note the countries which have had "Islamic bombings"... Bingo you are one of them UK.

#8 The Renaissance, while it was thrillin',
Was plagued with a whole lot of killin'.
Could we start with homegrown
Cuckoo clocks of our own,
Or at least make our own penicillin?
