not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak
out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews and I

6. An early version is the 10th-century Islamic tale The Case of the Animals
Versus Man before the King of the Jinn. The story has humans land on an
island with a large number of animals. The humans begin to exploit the
animals, who bring their grievances to the king of the jinn who also
live on the island. The king rules that humans may control the animals
but affi rms that God is the protector of the animals. See Said and Funk
(2003).
