“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."
Jihad Watch : We are constantly told that only greasy Islamophobes think that any
of the aspects of Sharia that contradict Western principles of human
rights will ever come to Western countries.
Reality is different. Here is an ad for a nikah halala — a temporary
marriage allowing a woman to return to her previous husband — in
Scarborough, Ontario: This is based on the Qur’an. Allah’s regulations for divorce
emphasize regarding women that “men have a degree over them” (Qur’an 2:228).
This may be why men can divorce their wives simply by saying,
“Talaq” — You are divorced — but women may not do this. Such an easy
procedure leads to divorces in a fit of pique, followed by
reconciliation — and the Qur’an anticipates this and attempts to head it
off by stipulating that a husband who divorces his wife three times
cannot reconcile with her until she marries another man and is in turn
divorced by him:
“And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then
she is not lawful to him afterward until she marries a husband other
than him” (Qur’an 2:230). This has given rise to the phenomenon of “temporary husbands,” who
marry and divorce thrice-divorced women so that these poor women can
then return to their original husbands.
