No Atheists
In A Foxhole

Rudyard Kipling

" “When you're left wounded on
Afganistan's plains and

the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle

and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur

" “We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”

“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.”
“Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace,
for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .”
“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Osama soft-spoken millionaire 'mass murderer'
Monday, May 02, 2011
America's "public enemy number one" saw himself as the latest in a line of ancient warrior Moslems, who with sword in one hand and scripture in the other defended the honour of Islam and spread the word across the world. The gaunt, grey-bearded millionaire spoke to his followers in a quiet, calm voice. Index finger raised in the manner of an instructor, Osama bin Laden delivered his messages of murder and hate, sprinkled with pious quotes and verses from the Quran, always in the same manner.

sept 11 911 attack world trade centre new york  110906He took no pains to conceal his satisfaction at the horror wrought by the September 11 attacks, which killed 2,749 people. Meticulously planned by bin Laden and his al-Qaeda terror network, September 11 was just one of many salvoes in the "war against the infidels," but it was the one that changed the world forever.

"The pieces of the bodies of infidels were flying like dust particles. Had you seen it with your own eyes, you would have been very pleased, and your heart would have been filled with joy." The above quote, taken from a self-penned poem recited by bin Laden at the wedding of one of his sons in January 2001, refers to the October 12 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen that killed 17 US sailors.

The poem stands as a chilling preview of the slaughter bin Laden was preparing to unleash upon US soil, and as a testament to the deep-seated roots of his beliefs. Born in 1957 in the Saudi port of Jeddah, Osama was one of 57 children born to Yemeni construction magnate Mohammed Awad bin Laden. The elder bin Laden was a devout Moslem with close ties to the Saudi royal family, who had amassed a great fortune through lucrative royal contracts.

Some who knew the young Osama described him as a quiet, pious youth, with a close relationship to his mother that he maintained into adulthood. Militancy began after Soviet invasion He was barely an adolescent when his father was killed in a helicopter crash. The craft was supposedly flown by a US pilot. Osama bin Laden's militancy began in earnest in 1979 following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. He went to Pakistan and met with resistance leaders, supporting the mujahedin by organizing funds and shipments of weapons.

He would eventually take up arms and join the mujahedin in their struggle to repel the invaders.Men who fought alongside him recall a brave guerrilla fighter, unafraid of close combat and already a hardened opponent of the United States and its foreign policy. However, true to the old saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", bin Laden at the time did not spurn support from US intelligence services in the fight against the Russians, something which he later denied repeatedly.

Following the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989, bin Laden returned to Saudi Arabia, where he worked on expanding the family empire. He maintained close links with Arab veterans of the Afghan conflict, establishing a contact network which would eventually form the foundations of terror group al-Qaeda, Arabic for "The Base."

NONEThe fallout from the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1991 provided the second turning point in bin Laden's life. He was shocked and dismayed when the House of Saud opted to allow the US military to establish bases on Saudi soil.

Bin Laden regarded the presence of half a million US troops in Saudi Arabia as a desecration of the holy Islamic sites of Mecca and Medina. He began writing treatises decrying the Saudi regime and lobbying religious figures for support in his campaign. Soon his close ties with the Saud rulers lay in tatters. In 1991, bin Laden was expelled from the kingdom for his anti-regime activities. He took refuge in Sudan, where he spent the next five years assisting the Islamic administration with construction projects and rebuilding his financial empire.

Expelled from Sudan, returned to Afghanistan In 1996, under pressure from the United States, bin Laden was expelled from Sudan and returned to Afghanistan. He began to forge strong ties with the ruling Taliban, whose radical Islamic faith bore a strong resemblance to the more puritanical Saudi elements that bin Laden identified with. In Afghanistan, bin Laden surrounded himself with a private army and used his own resources to establish and fund a haven for potential terrorists. He declared a holy war against the US.

Veterans of the Afghan war and radical militant Muslims from all over the world found their way to bin Laden's camps, many willing to offer themselves as martyrs in suicide attacks. "Infidels" is how bin Laden and his followers term all those whom they hold responsible for the repression of Muslims worldwide. The United States, Britain and Israel head the list. An audiotape released by Arabic television network al-Jazeera in February 2003 and purporting to be from bin Laden denounced some Arab leaders and warned of the consequences of assisting the so-called enemy. It urged Muslims worldwide to take up arms against the US-led invasion of Iraq.

In his former homeland of Saudi Arabia, bin Laden enjoyed a resurgence in popularity among a strong anti-Western minority. That changed somewhat when more than 50 people, many of them Arabs, were killed in May 2003 in a series of terror attacks on foreign residential compounds in Riyadh.

For a small portion of Muslims worldwide, the September 11 atrocities elevated bin Laden to the status he had always sought - that of an avenging warrior unleashing fear and death upon those he labelled "infidels." Malaysiakini - dpa
