thanks for the ping:

And now the totalitarian leftists are teaming up with the totalitarian Islamists. The censorship in Western societies has redoubled since Islam came into play. Apparently the leftists are hoping that Islamic supremacism will quietly go away once it helps them to silence the world. That is, of course, yet another dangerous delusion.

Takes me back to 2005; two middle aged women at nearby table, enjoying lunch al fresco, one says to the other, I think they are letting too many muslims into the country, they are too violent her friend replies, I know what you mean, but we aren't supposed to say that...

I turned and asked, what's to prevent you? Who is asking you to censor yourself? You live in Australia, you may express your opinion in public.

They were embarrassed - probably thought of me as some kind of interfering zealot, but I hope they remember my comment, because as time passes, the pressure increases to censor our thoughts and speech, and we know where the pressure originates, don't we?
