The tree of liberty, from time to time, must be replenished with the blood of patriots

Saw this via LGF :

Said by Ahmed Akkari, a Muslim theologian from Copenhagen:

.......the level of anger was “very high” in the Muslim community across
Europe and the wider world.
“It is more likely [than not] that any minute we
will hear of violence unless the police can control the situation.”

Reminds me of a couple of quotes:

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"- Patrick Henry
(March 23, 1775)

"The tree of liberty, from time to time, must be replenished with the blood of patriots."- President Thomas Jefferson
