People who do nothing when witnessing a crime are just as horrid as those committing it. They are "sinning" by their silence in the way they have not spoken agains those committing an injustice. Made "cowards" by their silence, once confident men can be put to shame by not turning in a criminal. What gives them the right to ignore somebody in pain or another victim in need? This quote is saying the shame that those people must feel by their silence should make them fully experience their cowardice.

I think that this quote is saying there are times when you must speak up for what is right, and that in that case, being silent could be a sin in and of itself.

i ought to assert this quote is fairly amazing!!! i agree, too many ppl walk on by using and dont challenge to sand up for what's sweet protest the conflict.... i detect it absurd that u.s. is sending troops to die for what's largely the only objective Bush has...gasoline!....Bush's each objective has something to do with gasoline...the 1st week he have been given into place of work, he rejected Clinton's "roadless rule" which secure a million/3 of u.s. forests from logging, minning, autos...and so on.... the rationalization he needed to do away with the bill replace into because of the fact the logging and mining industries funded his election, and paid much greater for his reelection... "awaken to the manipulation, awaken to the situation"

All it takes for evil to succeed is for a few good men to stand by and do nothing.

Yes it is the observer who is a silent spectator of the commitments of sinmore than a sinner.

When you see something wrong, and don't speak up or done something about, you are a coward.

You are part of the problem if you don't speak up if you are a witness to a crime.

It means, If you do nothing about the problem, you are part of the problem.
