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."
Malaysia: Government school has “Muslim” and “non-Muslim” drinking cups
Friday, August 11, 2017
Jihad Watch : “O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean…” Qur’an 9:28
“School’s policy of separate cups for Muslims and non-Muslims draws ire,” by Nurul Ain Huda, Free Malaysia Today, August 10, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
HULU LANGAT: A policy of segregating drinking cups in a
primary school in Selangor has threatened to spark yet another
controversy involving the treatment of non-Muslim students in government
schools.
FMT’s visit to Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Puteri in Hulu Langat showed
that cups placed next to a drinking water dispenser at one of the
school’s blocks were labelled “Muslim” and “non-Muslim”.
School authorities refused to comment when asked for a response, but a
canteen worker said, on condition of anonymity, that the practice began
last year under the school’s principal, who has since been transferred
after a four-year tenure.
Attempts to get comments from the education ministry, including Deputy Education Minister P Kamalanathan, also failed. Parent Madhavi expressed shock over the policy, while school bus
operator Chitra Devi said the practice should be stopped as children of
all communities should “eat and play together”. “Money changes hands from non-Muslims to Muslims and vice-versa. So this shouldn’t be practised,” she added.
Another parent, Norsarina Zakaria, was surprised to see the photos
that had gone viral over the net earlier. She disagreed with how the
school had labelled the cups.cawan-2 “Segregating the drinking cups for non-Muslims and Muslims will give a
negative impression to the rest. It’s as though Islam is too rigid a
religion”, she said….
