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."
Nigeria’s Muslim communications minister: ‘We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed’
Thursday, April 15, 2021
The Son of A Bitch, Isa Aliyu Pantami, President Muhammadu Buhari’s
communications minister
Jihad Watch : Now we know why the Buhari government has promised to destroy the Boko
Haram jihad group many times over the last few years, but has actually
done little or nothing to oppose the group or impede its jihad against
Christians in any meaningful way.
“We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed: Minister Pantami,” by Idris Ibrahim, People’s Gazette, April 14, 2021 : Isa Aliyu Pantami, President Muhammadu Buhari’s
communications minister, once declared that he was always a happy man
towards the massacre of those he considered infidels.
“We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed,” Mr Pantami
said. “But the Sharia does not allow us to kill them without a reason.” “Our zeal (hamasa) should not take precedence over our obedience to the sacred law,” he added. Mr Pantami’s comments were contained in three audio recordings of his
teachings in the 2000s, when he took extreme positions in support of
the brutal exploits of Al Qaeda and Taliban elements who were on a
campaign to obliterate the West and conquer other parts of the world.
He made the remarks while responding to audience questions about his
views on Osama Bin Laden during a lecture about the Taliban. Mr Pantami
said of Mr Bin Laden, the late Al Qaeda leader responsible for bringing
down the World Trade Centre in an attack that claimed over 3,000 lives
in 2001: “I still consider him as a better Muslim than myself.”
Mr Pantami’s comments were translated by Professor Andrea Brigaglia,
an African expert at Naples University in Italy. Nigerian scholar Musa
Ibrahim of University of Florida in the United States contributed to the
paper that explored the onset of Boko Haram in Nigeria.
Top journal publisher academia.edu published the research in March
2019, several months before Mr Buhari tapped Mr Pantami as a minister.
Mr Pantami’s violent preachings, which he rendered in Hausa and Arabic
throughout the late 1990s and early to mid-2000s, had gone largely
unreported in the Nigerian mainstream media.
Mr Pantami did not return a request seeking comments from Peoples
Gazette about whether or not he has eschewed his violent Salafist views…
