Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
UK: Laws against inciting hatred -- funny how an Islamic supremacist hate preacher is never prosecuted
Wednesday, December 18, 2013
From Jihad Watch : When Pamela Geller and I were banned from Britain (because, as it turned out, of our support for Israel),
many people on both sides of the issue invoked Anjem Choudary, saying
that if we were banned, he should be, or that since he moved about and
spoke freely in Britain, we should be able to as well. The implication
was sometimes stated explicitly: if Britain was going to allow
"extremists" on one side to speak, "extremists" on the other side had to
be allowed to as well (or both banned).
"Laws against inciting hatred: funny how an Islamist hate preacher is never prosecuted," by Sean Thomas for the Telegraph, December 17:
And so we return to the case of Anjem Choudary, Britainās most eminent Hate-Preacher-Who-Also-Lives-On-Benefits. Choudary has hit the news again, just as he intended, this time for marching down Brick Lane threatening shopkeepers with
40 lashes if they donāt stop selling alcohol. At the same time he has
gone on record, acclaiming Muslim gangs (who recently attacked drinkers
on Londonās streets), as āfantasticā.
Now, simple minded souls might wonder whether Choudary was breaking
the law here: isnāt it an incitement to violence, when you praise
vicious mobs as āfantasticā? Isnāt it criminal, in some way, to menace
shopkeepers with ā40 lashesā? Come to think of it, you might wonder why Choudary hasnāt been jailed before, given his record.
In 2003 he was investigated for organising terrorist training camps.
Around the same time he praised the 9/11 bombers as āmagnificent
martyrsā. A few months later he predicted attacks on British soil. In
2005 he refused to condemn the 7/7 slaughters in London.
