"For the past three decades, most members of our political class have been ensconced within the cultural relativism of multiculturalism. If there has been a problem within an ethnic community, few political leaders have ever blamed its members. Instead, they have told the rest of us it is unacceptable to censure social groups except one - mainstream Australia.
However, the causes of the violence are now fairly clear. The riots, arson and death threats were not spontaneous outbursts from passionate religious believers but carefully stage-managed devices by Muslim leaders some five months after the cartoons were published."
