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."
Nigeria: Jihad group murders Red Cross worker, says kidnapped Christian girl will be their slave
Thursday, October 18, 2018
Jihad Watch : “‘From today’, ISWAP said, Sharibu, 15, and Ngaddah, a mother of two,
‘are now our slaves. Based on our doctrines, it is now lawful for us to
do whatever we want to do with them.’”
Boko Haram is saying it is Islamic for them to keep these non-Muslim
women as slaves. Surely some Islamic organization will issue a
comprehensive refutation of this claim, no?“Boko Haram executes another Red Cross worker, says Leah will live as slave,” by Ahmad Salkida, The Cable, October 15, 2018:
The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), a faction
of Boko Haram, has executed Hauwa Leman, an aid worker with the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), TheCable has been
informed. The terrorists also vowed to keep Leah Sharibu, the Dapchi schoolgirl, as “a slave for life”, TheCable exclusively gathered. In a short clip seen by a special correspondent of TheCable, Leman
was forced to kneel down, with her hands tied inside a white hijab which
has a crest symbol, and then shot at close range.
In September 2018, the insurgent group killed Saifura Ahmed, one of
the three humanitarian workers abducted in Rann, Kala Balge local
government area of Borno state, in March 2018, in a similar manner. Leman, a 24-year-old midwife and student of health education at the
University of Maiduguri, was in the group that was abducted…. ISWAP, in a short statement, said: “We have kept our word exactly as
we said, by killing another humanitarian worker, Hauwa Leman, who is
working with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) that
were abducted during a raid on a military facility in Rann, Kala Balge
in March 2018.
“Saifura and Hauwa were killed because they are considered as Murtads
(apostates) by the group because they were once Muslims that have
abandoned their Islam, the moment they chose to work with the Red Cross,
and for us, there is no difference between Red Cross and UNICEF. “If we see them, we will kill the apostates among them, men or women,
and chose to kill or keep the infidels as slaves, men or women.” ‘LEAH AND ALICE WILL BE OUR SLAVES’
Meanwhile, ISWAP has threatened to keep Sharibu as a slave. She is the only Christian among the 110 girls abducted at the
Government Girls’ Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe state, on
February 19, 2018. While other girls were released, she was kept back because she refused to renounce her Christian faith. There has been a global plea for her release.
The group said in the statement that Alice Ngaddah, a Christian who works with UNICEF, will also be kept as a slave. “From today”, ISWAP said, Sharibu, 15, and Ngaddah, a mother of two, “are now our slaves”. “Based on our doctrines, it is now lawful for us to do whatever we want to do with them,” the group further said.
