Chip Off the Old Block
13th August 2014
Mark Steyn jerks back the curtain.
Consider, for example, the photograph above. It’s a Tweet from Syria reprinted in The Australian, and neatly sums up the dead end of diversity:
Khaled Sharrouf’s son, a child raised in the suburbs of Sydney, struggles with both arms to hold up the decapitated head of a slain Syrian soldier.
He is a seven-year old boy, Australian born and bred. But he’s proudly holding up the latest severed head in his dad’s collection. “Diversity is our strength”, as they say. A family that raises their seven-year-old to participate in the decapitation celebrations certainly adds to the diversity of the Sydney suburbs. Whether it adds to their “strength” is another matter.
