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."
Egypt is dismissing imams based on Muslim Brotherhood ties, if US did this, hardly any imams would be left
Tuesday, December 15, 2020
Jihad Watch : Most major Muslim organizations in the U.S. are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, which has the stated goal
(according to a captured internal document) in America of “eliminating
and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its
miserable house.”
Meanwhile, in Egypt, while the crackdown on the Brotherhood proceeds,
the Egyptian government lets Brotherhood members and sympathizers blow
off steam by turning a blind eye as they target Christians.
“Egypt begins dismissing imams based on Brotherhood ties,” Al-Monitor, December 9, 2020:
CAIRO — Egypt’s Minister of Religious Endowments Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa issued Dec. 1 a decision terminating the service of an imam and preacher in Port Said governorate based on a judicial ruling.
In a statement issued
on the same day, the Ministry of Religious Endowments said that based
on the ruling issued against Abd al-Rahman Ahmed Qandil, the imam and
preacher of the Port Said Endowments, the dismissal decision included a
warning to all mosques of the republic not to allow him to mount the
pulpit, give lessons or lead any prayers in mosques.
A source at the ministry told Al-Monitor
on condition of anonymity that the ruling issued against Qandil proves
his affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood group. The ruling, he said,
was transferred to the Human Resources Department at the ministry, which
upheld the imam’s illegibility to continue practicing his job. Gomaa
subsequently issued a decision to officially dismiss him, he added.
The source said this decision is not the
first of its kind, as Gomaa had launched a major campaign several years
ago to cleanse the ministry of the remnants of the Muslim Brotherhood
and of those who follow its ideology and methodology. He pointed out that based on judicial
rulings, the Ministry of Religious Endowments dismissed Nov. 4 four
imams and revoked the license of another.
They include Ahmed Muhammad
Jumah Salem, Muhammad Abdullah Hussein al-Jabali, Omar Hamid Tamam,
Muhammad Muhammad Abd al-Sami and Abd al-Wahhab Mustafa Mustafa Khoder.
