Well, we all know how insightful and noble was his reply. He was telling those ministers that injustice has a way of leaving a given locality or a people and visiting others if it is not fought by all who value justice. And that's what you dear people, the operators of this site are doing. You are standing for justice and fairness, even though you, yourselves, are not directly victims of oppression. In a way, by standing for the rights of others, you are also protecting your own rights. "The best beloved of all things in my sight is justice," Baha'u'llah proclaimed on behalf of our common Creator God. And you are engaged in a most beloved work -- seeking justice for an oppressed innocent community. “Injustice anywhere is threat to justice everywhere,” wrote the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from a Birmingham, Alabama jail in response to a letter of African American religious leaders who, in effect, were chastising Dr. King for going all the way down to Alabama to march for civil rights.
