I remained silent

When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; for I was not a communist.When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.

Finally when they came for me, there was nobody left; nobody left to speak for me.

Mohamed points to this poem from Pastor Martin-Niemoller and relates it to the present Muslim ummah.
