Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
NOT so great britain's, BBC marks Hindu festival with Islamic verses from Muslim poet
Wednesday, March 31, 2021
Jihad Watch : For the BBC, Islam apparently must not only be supreme in Britain,
but everywhere else.
And so the dhimmi broadcasting network has chosen
to note the Hindu festival of colors, Holi, with verses by a Muslim poet
that discusses his invoking Allah and Muhammad in the celebration of
Holi and remembering Allah as he is covered with colors.
It would be comparable to the BBC sending out Christmas greetings
noting the birth of the Islamic prophet Jesus, who foretold the coming
of Muhammad (Qurāan 61:6).
Britain is already in some ways a more fanatically Sharia state than Iran or Pakistan.
āBBC, with history of anti-Hindu bias, attempts to take Hinduism out of Holi and Islamise the festival of colours: Details,ā OpIndia, March 29, 2021:
The āsecular-liberalā media establishment, having
attempted to āseculariseā every aspect of Hindu culture and traditions,
are now trying not only trying to downplay the Hindu roots of āHoliā but
also have taken a step ahead to give an Islamic touch to the Hindu
festival. At the forefront of it this time around is the BBC.
The British public broadcaster BBC took to social media to Islamise
the Hindu festival. BBC Hindi shared an Islamic couplet by Baba
Bullehshah to undermine the Hindu roots of the festival of colours.
The British broadcaster, however, did not stop there. BBC Hindu
shared the lines of the poem āAaj Rang Haiā written by Amir Khusrau, a
12th-century Islamic court poet.
BBC Hindi also shared an article that
questioned the Hindu roots of the festival. The article written by
self-proclaimed historian Rana Safvi, titled, āWho said Holi is just a
Hindu festival?ā declared that Holi was not just a Hindu festival but
also a tradition followed in the Mughal era.
A concerted attempt appears to be underway to Islamise all aspects of
Hindu celebrations and appropriate Hindu festivals to downplay their
cultural and religious linkage. After Diwali, the secular propagandists
have now come for another Hindu festival ā Holiā¦.
