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."
26 Muslim Scholars Denounce “Fascist” Israel, Claim Jerusalem Will Be Capital of a New Caliphate (Part 1)
Sunday, July 07, 2019
Bosnian Muslim Nazis with Hj Husseini
Jihad Watch : A group of Muslim “scholars” in the U.K. has issued a joint letter condemning what they call “fascist” Israel. Breitbart has the story:
Twenty-six “Muslim scholars” based in Britain have called
for “fascist” Israel to be returned to the Arabs, and expressed their
hope that “Jerusalem will be the capital of the Islamic Caliphate when
it returns, Allah willing.”
The word “fascist” is here thrown out like so much confetti; it
demands to be defined. The essence of fascism includes an authoritarian
or despotic central government, contempt for electoral democracy,
militaristic nationalism, hatred of political and cultural liberalism, a
belief in a natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites.There are
“fascist”or quasi-fascist states in the Middle East, run by and for
members of a particular group or party, along with old-fashioned
monarchies (as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates), and authoritarian
regimes (as in Egypt and Turkey).
Fascist rule is often accompanied a
cult of personality, celebrating The Infallible Leader, as happened with
Mussolini, Hitler, and Franco. Fascist states in the Middle East
include Syria, under the rule of the Assad family and their instrument,
the secular Ba’ath Party. The Ba’ath Party served to disguise the
Alawites, who, though they constituted only 12% of the Syrian
population, under the Assad family’s rule maintained an iron grip on the
country.
Another fascist state, in the true sense, was Iraq under
Saddam Hussein; Saddam had his own version of the Ba’ath Party, which
was officially open to all — Arabs and Kurds, Shi’a and Sunnis, even
Christians. But Ba’athist rule in Iraq was meant to disguise the Sunni
Arab despotism that Saddam had created; some joked sardonically that he
imposed not just rule by Sunni Arabs, but confined that rule to Sunni
Arabs from Tikrit, Saddam’s home town.
Since Sunni Arabs were only 19%
of the Iraqi population, it was useful for Saddam, in the same way as it
was for Assad in Syria, to maintain the fiction that Ba’athists, of all
ethnicity and sects, and not Sunni Arabs, ruled. Tariq Aziz, his
Christian foreign minister, was particularly useful, as a way of
suggesting the Ba’athist regime was truly open to all.
