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."
Muslims converts do not suffer; the law will not permit this - By Commander (Rtd) S THAYAPARAN Royal Malaysian Navy

Malaysiakini : “If you are a Muslim and you know that it’s un-Islamic and you
are not voicing it out, you have done a great injustice and that is
haram.” - Jihad for Justice chairperson Thasleem Mohamed Ibrahim
COMMENT | PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan uttered the most odious defence of his religion here in Malaysia when he claimed
“for the last 10 to 20 years, the 'muallaf' (Muslim converts) also
suffered. It is the same thing" (as M Indira Gandhi). Really? Of course,
he does not explain how their suffering is the same.
Let us take these examples, which are demonstrative of the worst
excesses of the state and the state-sanctioned religion which has caused
distress in countless non-Muslim lives.
Have Muslim converts had their children unilaterally converted to a
religion which the child cannot renounce when he or she comes of age?
Has the Muslim convert been denied justice in the civil courts? Has the
Muslim convert had their child kidnapped and then had the state claim
that they would not interfere because the ruling of the civil court
conflicted with the syariah court?
