Those angry at Rushdie’s stabbing have been missing in action over a far bigger threat to our freedom

The #outrage of liberal voices to the #hideous #attack on #SalmanRushdie stands in #contrast to their #silence on the #hideous #treatment of #JulianAssange. Why? Because Assange holds a #mirror up to them. #Protest the #stabbing of #Salman #Rushdie by all means. But don’t forget to protest even more loudly the #silencing and #disappearing of #Julian #Assange.

A quotation by Tolkien, J.R.R.

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) English writer, fabulist, philologist, academic [John Ronald Reuel Tolkien]

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Book 2, ch. 6 “Lothlórien” [Haldir] (1954)
