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."
Has hijab-wearing Rep. Omar committed an offense for which Sharia prescribes stoning?
Wednesday, August 28, 2019
Mynett and Ilhan Omar the Somali
Jihad Watch : The wearing of hijab is a sign of Sharia compliance, and that may
mean trouble for Ilhan Omar. Stoning adulterers is not “extremist”; it
is Islamic law. The caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions,
even maintained that it was originally in the Qur’an:
‘Umar said, “I am afraid that after a long time has
passed, people may say, “We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning
to death) in the Holy Book,” and consequently they may go astray by
leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the
penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual
intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by
witnesses or pregnancy or confession.” Sufyan added, “I have memorized
this narration in this way.” ‘Umar added, “Surely Allah’s Apostle
carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him.” (Bukhari, vol. 8, bk. 82, no. 816)
So has Ilhan Omar committed a stoning-worthy offense under Sharia? Only she and Tim Mynett know for sure. If so, will this lead her to be more generous in her appraisal of her adopted country, which unlike the country of her birth, will not require her death for this offense?
