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."
Here's Your Islamophobia: Imam Says His Congregation Has Been Called Rude Names
Wednesday, December 16, 2020
A Muslim rape gang – yet another – was just charged
with 196 counts of rape, sex with a child, trafficking and false
imprisonment. But let’s be frank: there are more serious crimes being
committed these days in Britain, and the Yorkshire Evening Post has the skinny on some of the most outrageous of them. It seems that the imam at Makkah Mosque in Leeds, Qari Asim MBE (yes, MBE,
just like the Beatles), who is also a “government adviser on
Islamophobia,” claims that “hate speech” has “left scars” on members of
his congregation.
Yes, it’s true: The poor lambs have been called rude
names on the street. You thought you had it bad.
The Post informs us that “Leeds City Council research shows
that Muslim people are more likely to be targeted by
religiously-motivated hate crime than any other community in the city.”
That hate crime apparently includes not just insults on the street, but
on the interwebs as well: “And online abuse can have an equally
devastating impact on Muslims in Leeds, Imam Asim said, creating a sense
of fear and dividing communities.”
Imam Asim solemnly informed the world that “I have personally
experienced online abuse on a regular basis.” Even worse, “Many of my
congregation members have experienced anti-Muslim hatred: being called
‘Bin Ladens’, ‘ISIS supporters’, told to ‘go back home’.” The noble Yorkshire Evening Post
details the devastation this causes: “Such anti-Muslim abuse has left
scars on people and created a sense of fear not only for the victims but
also families and friends.”
There is no doubt about it whatsoever, and every decent person must
say it loudly and without hesitation: It is very, very unkind of the
people to call members of the Makkah Mosque rude names. It would be so
nice if people didn’t do that.
