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."
BCF : When I read Robert Spencer's new masterpiece, The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS,
it was as though George Orwell had summed up Robert Spencer and uttered
his famous words: "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a
revolutionary act."
Before
starting to tell you about this unique documentary book about the
history of jihad, I must tell you I have firsthand experience with this
ideology. I confess, there are not many people able to put this into
words so accurately and so eloquently and so easy to read and understand
as does Robert Spencer.
In the history of jihad, from cradle to grave,
Spencer has outlined – irrespective of what the term in "Islam" may
mean – the facts on the ground and conclusively demonstrated, Spencer has
already done it and provided us with many anecdotal insights.
It
is true for over
1,400 years' duration has been and continues to be at war with valiant
people the world over who refuse to bend their necks to its yoke. What
Spencer has done is turn on the lights brightly for all to see.The History of Jihad
is a one-of-a-kind book that discusses how Islamic jihad took over
country by country and started forced conversion. It discusses the
Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (who have almost been eradicated), as
well as the Hindus and others.
