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 Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

Subject: Violence against local Muslims spreads to UK
Just heard over BBC World Service radio. That two Mosques in UK, have been
fire bombed in the last two days.
In Bolton and Manchester ( Cities local to me ). Apparently there have been
dozens of reports of attacks,
threatening phone calls and vandalism, aimed at Mosques and Muslims within
the community.
Looks like racists and neo-nazis are taking full advantage of the current
mood.
