So there will be more empty seats round the Christmas table this year, after an "Australian citizen" mowed down pedestrians at the junction of Flinders Street and Elizabeth Street in Melbourne. The casualties include "a pre-schooler with serious head injuries".
The "Australian citizen" (I presume this designation is being used to emphasize that he's entirely eligible to serve in Mr Turnbull's cabinet) did it deliberately, but relax, lighten up, there's no need to worry because, according to Victoria's police commissioner, all this terrifying terror is "not terror-related".
So he's not a crack operative with the Islamic State's Australian branch office, he's just, as The Age's cheery headline writer puts it, "of Afghan descent and mentally ill". A second man, arrested while filming the scene and found to have three knives in his bag, is believed to be nothing to do with the first man. Just another Australian citizen taking his knife collection out for a stroll.
You'll recall there was a previous "vehicle attack" in downtown Melbourne earlier this year, after which the authorities ordered up the bollardization of every pedestrianized precinct in the vicinity. As Andrew Bolt writes:
All the bollards put up after six people were killed in Bourke St Mall in January have not stopped this.

From the article:
~Speaking of non-terror-related Muslims, there’s a hot new hashtag trending in Britain called #AVeryMerryMuslimChristmas. This derives from the title of a new report by Westminster’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims. “A Very Merry Muslim Christmas” purports to demonstrate that almost all Christian charity in fact comes from Muslims:
What we hear even less about is the ‘Muslim Merry Christmas’. The soup kitchens, the food banks, the Christmas dinners, the New Year clean up work Muslim charities will be busy doing during the Christmas period.
In that post-Christian void - the shell of a church with faith in everything but itself - a very merry Muslim Christmas makes a perverted kind of sense.
With apologies to the late Johnny Marks, all together now:
Have a Merry Muslim Christmas
It’s the best time of the year
I don’t know
What time I’ll blow
I’ve strapped it to my rear
Have a Merry Muslim Christmas
And as you drive down the street
Say goodbye
To folks who’ll die
All splattered on concrete
Oh-ho
It’s time to mow
Down people in your car
Infidels wait for you
Allahu Akbar!
Have a Merry Muslim Christmas
And in case you’re still not dead
Oh, it’s merry
Have an incend’iary New Year
Instead!
Thank you. Steyn is so clever.

Islam is a war plan.
They should put up Bollocks instead!
