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."
Virginia: Muslim professing love for Allah murders two, county attorney says we ‘may never know’ his motive
Friday, January 08, 2021
Mohamed Aly
Jihad Watch : Ivan Maertens Aramayo is Ayanna Maertens Griffin’s father. In this
Washington Post report, consistent with the establishment media’s
never-ending mission to exonerate Islam from all crimes done in its name
and in accord with its teachings, he offers two quotations from the
Qur’an, apparently in order to establish that what Mohamed Aly did was
completely inconsistent with his “professed love for Allah.”
The first one (“And do not kill one another…”) is Qur’an 4:29. The
full verse is: “O you who believe, do not squander your wealth among
yourselves in vanity, except in a trade by mutual consent, and do not
kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allah is always merciful to
you.” It is thus clearly addressed to “you who believe,” and does not
override the Qur’an’s thrice-repeated imperative to kill unbelievers
(2:191, 4:89, 9:5).
The other quote is Qur’an 5:32, which is one of the most oft-quoted
verses of the Qur’an, the one that Western non-Muslim leaders refer to
frequently in order to establish that Islam is a religion of peace.
There is, however, less to it than Western leaders and Islamic
apologists claim. It is not a general prohibition of killing: there are
big exceptions to the prohibition on killing, for “manslaughter or
corruption on the earth.”
Also, this prohibition is not a general
command, but is specifically directed at the children of Israel. After
it was given, “many of them committed excesses on earth,” so all this
passage is really saying is that Allah gave a command to the children of
Israel and they transgressed against it. Some Islamic authorities
interpret this passage in a supremacist manner, as applying only to
Muslims.
The eighth-century Muslim jurist Sa’id bin Jubayr is said to
have explained: “He who allows himself to shed the blood of a Muslim, is
like he who allows shedding the blood of all people. He who forbids
shedding the blood of one Muslim, is like he who forbids shedding the
blood of all people.” Then 5:33 continues
from 5:32 and makes clear the dire punishments that are prescribed for
the corruption and transgressions of the children of Israel, and a
warning to the Jews to stop their bad behavior. Seen in its light, this
celebrated passage, Qur’an 5:32, is explaining what must be done with
Jews who reject the messenger and commit the vague sin of spreading
corruption on earth. Contrary to popular belief in the West, the passage
is not dictating lofty moral principles.
Meanwhile, is anyone even looking into the possibility that Mohamed
Aly’s murders of Ayanna Maertens Griffin and Ntombo Joel Bianda may be
tied to his “love for Allah”? Or has such an investigation been
dismissed out of hand as “Islamophobic”? “Nearly a year after a young couple were killed, a guilty plea provides few answers,” by Rachel Weiner, Washington Post, January 4, 2021.
