and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”

“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."
German State of Baden-Württemberg Bans Burqa in Schools

Women In Burka
Jihad Watch : Baden-Württemberg State Premier: Islamic face coverings do not ‘belong in a free society.’
Baden-Württemberg became the first German
state to ban the burqa and other Sharia-mandated full-face coverings
from its schools, local newspapers reported on Wednesday.
Trump: Illegal mass-immigration ‘has been bad for Europe’ (July 2018)
The southern
German state already forbids teaching staff to wear such garbs.
The announcement comes as several other German states are considering a similar ban in their schools, German newspaper DieTagesspiegelreported earlier this year. Unlike neighboring France and Austria, Germany does not have a nationwide ban on wearing a burqa, a move opposed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
In February, a Hamburg court ruled in favor of a Muslim girl after
school authorities asked her to remove the burqa in the classroom. The
court, in its ruling, said
that the girl’s decision to wear a full-face veil in class was covered
under the “right to unconditional protection of her freedom of
religion.” Following the judgment, some German states mulled changing
the state laws to enact the ban. Germany’s state-run DW Newsreported the move by southern German state:
The government of the western German state of
Baden-Württemberg agreed on Tuesday to ban full-face coverings, often
known as burqa or niqab, in schools.The new rule comes as the topic of Muslim face coverings has been
hotly debated in Germany and follows a ruling by a court in Hamburg that
reversed that city’s own ban. Baden-Württemberg’s city council’s decision to ban full-face
coverings, typically worn by ultra-conservative Muslim girls, matches
the ban for teachers that is already in effect.
State Premier and prominent Green politician Winfried Kretschmann
conceded that cases of full-face veiling in schools were rare, but said
that nonetheless, a legal ruling was necessary for the rare cases. Kretschmann said that full-face veiling did not belong in a free
society. But he added that such a ban at the university level, where
students are adults, was a more complex question. For now, the rule in
Baden-Wurttemberg will only apply to primary and secondary education.
Like other German states, Baden-Württemberg has witnessed an increase
in Islamic radicalization and migrant crime in the wake of
mass-migration from Muslim-majority countries in recent years. In the
city of Stuttgart, capital of the southern state, migrant gangs attacked
police and looted shops, the German media reported last month. “The mob
chanted Allahu Akbar,” German newspaper BildZeitungreported
on June 22. “A trail of destruction runs through the inner city
Stuttgart. 500 rioters turned the city into a battlefield — out of pure
lust for violence.”
Six European countries, namely Austria, Denmark, France, Belgium,
Bulgaria, and The Netherlands, have introduced some sort of burqa ban in
government offices and public places. In Switzerland, several cantons,
or districts, have passed similar prohibitions at the local level, but the Swiss government in 2018 rejected a nationwide ban.
While Western feminists celebrate the burqa, hijab, and other sorts
of sharia-mandated coverings as an expression of diversity, they are
used by the Islamic societies to suppress, suffocate and segregate women
from public and social life. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, women are
jailed, raped, and tortured by regime henchmen for refusing to wear these oppressive Muslim garbs.
In West, migrant Muslim women live under the fear of honor killing, a practice imported from the Middle East, for similar defiance.
