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."
India: Police bust jihad terror plot targeting New Delhi, arrest imam
Wednesday, December 18, 2013
From Jihad Watch : How did this imam, Mohammed Shahid, who has dedicated his life to
understanding Islam properly, come to misunderstand it so spectacularly
as to think that God was commanding him to get involved in a jihad
terror plot? This question the mainstream analysts never answer, because
even to ask it explodes that mythology. "Police claim Lashkar 'plot' to target Delhi, arrest mosque
Imam," by Prawesh Lama and Rahul Tripathi for Financial Express, December 13:
The Delhi Police Special Cell claimed to have busted a
Lashkar-e-Toiba terror module spread across Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan
with the arrest of Mohammed Shahid, 28, the Imam of a mosque in Mewat.
Another Imam of Mewat, suspected to be Shahid’s associate and
mastermind, is on the run.
“A lookout circular will be issued. There is proof that he visited
Pakistan twice in the past. We have got documents which clearly prove
they were planning to strike markets in the capital,” said a source.
According to sources, a top LeT commander, identified as Javed
Baluchi and believed to be operating from Pakistan, was their handler.
Shahid, a resident of Nuh, reportedly came under the radar after
agencies traced Baluchi’s calls to his cellphone. Investigations have
reportedly traced about half-a-dozen such cellphone numbers active in
Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan.
The Special Cell claimed to have recovered a diary from Shahid which
gives details of a terror attack being planned in the capital. Shahid
has reportedly said that the absconding cleric roped him in for terror
activities about eight months ago.
