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."
Muslim Politicians in Secular India Dream of Creating More Pakistans By Ashlyn Davis
Tuesday, March 30, 2021
Jihad Watch : In a now-viral 30-second video clip, a local leader of the All India
Trinamool [Grassroots] Congress (TMC), Sheikh Alam, can be heard calling
upon his Muslim followers to unite for the cause of creating four
Pakistans out of India.
TMC is a political party that is prominent in the Indian state of
West Bengal. The party is notorious for pandering to its Muslim voting
bloc. With the state holding elections this week, the TMC leader,
reflecting the ideology of his party, campaigned on Muslim identity,
unity and brotherhood. “We are 30 percent and they are 70 percent.
They (BJP) will come to power with the support of 70 percent; they
should be ashamed. If our Muslim population moves to one side, then we
can create 4 new Pakistans. Where will 70 per cent of the population
go?”
After the partition of India, Pakistan, on the West and the East of
India, decided to be an Islamic republic, while India maintained itself
as a secular state where Muslims were welcome to remain, despite having
voted in large numbers for the formation of Pakistan in a 1947
referendum.
