All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
~Edmund BurkeWe've been watching this happen now for quite some time.
People think it can't happen here.
I pray they're right. But this article provides a glimpse of how it can happen. Calling people who are concerned about radical Islam "Islamaphobes," for one. Marginalizing of those who try to speak out. Viewing anti-semitism as "unhealthy"rather than evil.
All of which contributes to a climate of fear.
This is how it starts. To express concern becomes intolerance. Intolerance begets hatred, hatred begets oppression, oppression begets fear, fear begets silence, silence begets great evil.
