Right. If power decides that a truth may be told, we are allowed to tell it to power. If power decides that a truth may not be told, we are not allowed to tell it to power.

@BrianSoddingBoru4 of course the people in charge do not touch Dawkins; he didn't touch their interests. Once he begins to expose the the people in charge, they will attack him and silence him

Even Muslims are living there with Muslim countries in the NATO itself ! but silencing noisy voices is everywhere. Once a voice start to become noisy enough; silencing starts. Take Julian Assang for example
