Welcome to the new world

Isn’t it strange that we are now surprised to read that no one has been murdered. Just this evening I was thinking that at least one person is killed in NSW every week, either that or there is some violent confrontation in some part of Australia. I have come to expect this every weekend and if it doesn’t happen I’d be surprised.

In France 100 cars burnt every night, or was that every week, this is the norm; perhaps a Gallic shrug is in order. If some one were brave enough to criticize Islam, we would be surprised if they are not immediately moved to a secret location and assigned police protection. Now brace yourself for surprising news, headlines from the Jyllands-Posten.
A rumour among international news organisations says that one of the Danish Mohammed-cartoonists has been murdered, and that his body should have been disposed of in front of Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten's headquarters. None of the above has happened. None of the cartoonists are dead.
Are you as surprised as I am?
