Why does Greg Sheridan find it necessary to hide the real subject of “How I lost my faith in multiculturalism” (The Australian, 2-3/4) in its title? His critique of militant strands of Islam has nothing to do with multiculturalism, immigration or refugee policy, Lakemba bad boys, or gilded reminiscences of his youth. By mixing these elements willy-nilly, he obscures his own argument and succours bigotry.
