Are you guilty of it? Think you aren’t? Let me ask this one simple question: How many of you turn a blind eye …living under the veil of “it’s not my business”? or if that doesn't  apply How many times have you remained silent telling yourself “it’s not my problem”?

The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities.  John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton, The History of Freedom in Antiquity (1877)

Tolstoy, the Russian writer, said in War and Peace: “I cannot conceive of a man not being free unless he is dead.” While this statement sounds a bit exaggerated, it gets at a basic truth. What Tolstoy is saying in substance is that the absence of freedom is the presence of death. Any nation or government that deprives an individual of freedom is in that moment committing an act of moral and spiritual murder. Any individual who is not concerned about his freedom commits an act of moral and spiritual suicide. Martin Luther King, Jr., Address at the Fiftieth Annual NAACP Convention, 17 July 1959, New York.
