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."
Islamists take lawfare to Europe creating 'spiral of silence'
Wednesday, December 18, 2013
A discussion paper (
German and
English) published by the Germany-based
Gustav Stresemann Foundation—a think tank dedicated to the
preservation and advancement of liberal democracy in Europe—warns that
national and international Islamic organizations are increasingly
putting pressure on Western politicians gradually to criminalize any
critique of Islam.
The author of the report, the German political scientist Felix Strüning,
provides a meticulously detailed analysis of the Islamic lobbying
effort—by means of a "human rights lawsuit"—to silence Thilo Sarrazin, a
prominent German banker who has criticized the refusal of Muslim
immigrants to integrate into German society. During an October 2009 interview with the Berlin-based culture magazine Lettre International, Sarrazin said:
“A large number of Arabs and Turks in this city […] have no productive
function except for the fruit and vegetable trade [...] The proportion
of births among Arabs and Turks is two to three times higher than their
corresponding proportion of the population. Large parts [of this
population] are neither willing to integrate nor capable of integrating.
The solution to this problem can only be to stop letting people in […]
except for highly qualified individuals and not provide social welfare
for immigrants anymore […].”
