American Muslim Voice
Justice for ALL
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, but by that time, no one was left to speak up.
Pastor Martin Niemoeller, Nazi Germany
