Something I came across while trawling the web when I’m supposed to be studying.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.
-Pastor Martin Niemöller
If you all didn’t already know, this is somewhat in response to the coup that occurred at AWARE recently. To sum it up, AWARE (a women’s awareness group) recently had their AGM and apparently all their Old Guard got ousted by a big bunch of new members. Many are speculating that these new members are part of a religious group. Apparently many of the new members and the committee members are people who have been very vocal about their views towards certain issues.
I will blog on this a bit more when I have time, and also I want to wait for further developments. If you guys are interested a good place to start would be yawningbread.blogspot.com yawningbread.org coz I think he has the whole article.
This is very worrying
