It just makes the users of this site look....... not very nice:(

I can't remember the exact quote, but I'm sure you will get the drift.....

First they came for the Jews but no one said anything
then they came for the gypsies but no one said anything
then they came for the homosexuals but no one said anything
then they came for the disabled but no one said anything
then they came for manchester united fans but no one said anything
then they came for me...... but there was no one else around to help.....

It actually goes like "I didn't say anything".
 
It's odd to me that people seem to use religiously based quotes only when they can be tilted to serve their own personal agenda :rolleyes:
 
no the passage refers to the persecution of the religious ( jews in particular when it was written but has since been adopted by most religions ) . It has been around for quite a while and is sold daily in christian bookstores all over the world :eek:

It speaks of any kind of persecution, that's the whole point.

The actual passage reads as such :

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
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.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
 
my great grandparents did not survive Auschwitz .

people always jump on the bandwagon by quoting textbook trivia .

tragedy knows no boundaries .

I'm very sorry about your grandparents.

I had thought you had said something rude though, it was just the way you came across.

Nazis persecuted Jews because of their religion? :confused: I always thought it was because of their ethnicity. Did atheist Jews get a free pass???

No, you're right, it was their ethniticity. That's why they put other races in the concentration camps as well.
