Speak Out

"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."

-- Martin Niemoeller

More than amazing quote MMM ... kind of reminds me of the Arabic quote "I was eaten when the white bull was eaten!".
