Keith Windschuttle

The source you found on Keith is a treasure-trove of Australian conservative thought. I recommend everybody browse around there. I am bookmarking it. Here is the lede on an opinion piece by Keith in last week's "Australian."

The tactic of targeting individuals who criticise Islam has been very effective ... This personal terrorism affects not just those directly under threat, but all writers and intellectuals. Most are unable to afford the security costs and the state cannot protect them all. The result is that they are silenced by self-censorship.
