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."
India: Muslim group offers cash reward to anyone who stones and chops off hair of women’s rights activist
Tuesday, July 24, 2018
Jihad Watch : All India Faizan-e-Madina Council top dog Moin Siddique Noori said:
“Our group will award Rs 11,786 to anyone who stones Nida Khan and
shaves their heads and scares them away from India.” That’s about $170.
Nida Khan’s crime? She opposes the Islamic triple talaq, that is, the
Qur’an-sanctioned practice of allowing a man to divorce his wife simply
by saying “You are divorced.” If he says it three times, he cannot take
her back unless she marries another man, consummates the marriage, and
is divorced by her new husband: “Divorce is twice.
Then, either keep her
in an acceptable manner or release her with good treatment….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. And if the latter
husband divorces her, there is no blame upon the woman and her former
husband for returning to each other if they think that they can keep the
limits of Allah.
These are the limits of Allah, which He makes clear to
a people who know. (Qur’an 2:229-230) “Fatwa issued against activist Nida Khan, cash reward for chopping her hair,” by Nelanshu Shukla, India Today, July 21, 2018 :
