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."
Malaysiakini : Hang Tuah PJ: So, what is the problem if the church can be seen from the highway, please explain.
And remember, minorities have rights also. I really don't understand
these idiots. I am a Muslim and I prefer to have God-fearing non-Muslims
as neighbours than non-God-fearing ones. It is the same as in the Shah Alam cow-head incident.
They say majority in that area are Muslims. But these Muslims actually
migrated from all over Malaysia to find jobs in Kuala Lumpur and
Selangor and ‘swamped’ out the estate Indians who had been having the
temple there for a long time. Why do non-Muslims always have to keep making way for Muslims? Every
Malaysian has a place under the sun in this soil and every Malaysian has
his or her rights. Learn to live with all Malaysians, idiots.
Malaysian 1st: I am surprised Muslims are very weak in their faith. Just a church building can insult them. They can easily forsake their religion and get converted to another by looking at a building.
A church building should not be seen from highway or LRT line.
I hope this is not the reflection of real Muslims.
Christians believe God does not live in buildings made by man, but in the pure clean hearts of God-fearing people. Thus it is written: You are the Temple of God.
