CUT & PASTE Even with Waleed Aly sitting at table one, the PM's guest list didn't quite nail it
Malcolm Turnbull rues inviting a certain sheik to dinner. Mornings with Neil Mitchell, 3AW, yesterday: I do regret his being invited. He was invited in his capacity as president of the National Imams Council and the guest list was assembled by my department. 
Does his department have Google? Sheik Shady Alsuleiman, president of the Australian National Imams Council, YouTube, 2013: Also homosexuality that is spreading all these diseases â€¦ These are evil actions that bring evil outcomes to our society.
More from the Prime Minister on the campaign trail, yesterday: I know that the sheik is being encouraged to reflect very deeply on his remarks which are of some years ago and it's up to him how he, how he uh, restates or reconsiders his position.
How many is "some" years ago? Here's the sheik again, YouTube, 2012: Islam protects offspring â€¦ that's why if someone commits (sex outside of marriage) their penalty should be 100 lashes if they've never been married or to be stoned to death if they've ever been married.
Good thing no booze was served at the dinner. More from Sheik Shady, YouTube, 2012: If someone drinks (alcohol), they get lashes. Minimum 40 lashes.
Turnbull, again, on the campaign trail, yesterday: I regard as unacceptable, and I will always condemn, any remarks which disrespect any part of our community, whether it is on the basis of their sexuality, their gender, their race, their religion.
Herald-Sun columnist Andrew Bolt raising further questions about the dinner, yesterday: Malcolm Turnbull rejected an invitation to the ceremony last night to install Vincent Long Van Nguyen as the new Roman Catholic Bishop of Parramatta, preferring instead to hold an end of Ramadan meal with Waleed Aly and various anti-gay Muslim clerics.
The Spectator Australia on the Orlando shootings, yesterday: Leadership fails when it refuses to acknowledge what Blind Freddy has already figured out; that a religion that is hostile to homosexuals and women, intolerant of certain art forms, music and free expression, loathes minorities such as Jews and regards all who are "nonbelievers" as inferior, is incompatible with modern, secular democracy.
The Age's Twitter feed with a straightforward update on the murder of British MP Jo Cox, yesterday: Man detained over British MP's killing said to be a "loner" with mental health issues â€¦
Never miss an opportunity to virtue-signal. Crikey's Bernard Keane demanding a rush to judgment, Twitter, yesterday: Perfect demonstration of how white men magically never commit terrorism - it's always "mental health issues" â€¦

The NSW Premier will be so excited. Mike Baird, Facebook,   November 27, 2015:A great thing about having daughters: you can pretend THEY'RE the reason you are at the Taylor Swift concert. #shakeitoff
