News reports about Islamic terrorist attacks are awkward. Videos even more so.
Australian authorities have refused to use the “I” or “M” word to discuss the Muslim terrorist attack on a bishop.

At issue is the right of X to publish a video showing the moment a 16-year-old allegedly stabbed a bishop in an Orthodox Christian Church in Sydney earlier this month.
Australian authorities say the clips threw fuel on a riot that erupted outside the church after the attack and shouldn’t be available for general viewing on a global platform, where it could be used to radicalize potential offenders.

Muslim terrorism isn’t a problem. People noticing it is.
And Australia’s modest proposal is to censor it for the entire planet.
On Wednesday, more than a week after the attack, the video was still available to view on the X account of the Australian Jewish Association (AJA). President David Adler told CNN he hadn’t been asked to take it down, either by X or Australia’s e-safety commissioner.
Adler said the AJA received an email from X saying Australian authorities had contacted the company with a takedown request, noting the video “violates the law(s) of Australia.”
