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."
Pakistan: Supreme Court declines petition to protect Christian girls from forced conversion and marriage to Muslims

Child Brides of Pukistan
Jihad Watch : Pukistan Pakistan is a leading nation in promoting Muslim victimology
worldwide and advancing the “Islamophobia” agenda. The manipulative
promotion of Islamic blasphemy doctrine is unceasing, while Muslim men
continue to kidnap, forcibly convert and rape Christian, Hindu and Sikh
girls on a routine basis.
The persecution worldwide by Muslims of both those Muslims who are
deemed to be apostates and of infidels is unmatched by any other group.
Still, the lie that Muslims are suffering under systemic “Islamophobia”
persists. French teacher Samuel Paty was openly beheaded in France
while multitudes of Muslims protested against his allegedly committing
blasphemy, instead of protesting against the fact that he was beheaded.
This kind of behavior would never be tolerated from any other religion
but Islam, the so-called “religion of peace.”
“Christians suffer court setback in child marriages in Pakistan,” Morning Star News, July 22, 2021:
Efforts to end the abduction and forced
conversion/marriage of minor Christian girls suffered a setback when the
Supreme Court of Pakistan last week declined to intervene in the issue,
sources said. Supreme Court Justice Mushir Alam on Wednesday (July 14) rejected an
appeal by a senior church leader for a constitutional petition to
protect Christian girls from forcible conversion to Islam and marriage
to Muslims.
“We had pinned our hopes on the Supreme Court for addressing this
longstanding genuine grievance of the Pakistani Christians, but we are
deeply disappointed and saddened by this decision,” Bishop Azad
Marshall, moderator bishop of the Church of Pakistan and president of
the National Council of Churches in Pakistan (NCCP), told Morning Star
News. “The court has, however, stated in the order that it will take
this issue up if we bring a specific case before it.”
Filed by renowned human rights lawyer Saif Ul Malook on behalf of
Marshall, the petition stated that Pakistan accords a degree of
permanence to the abduction and forcible conversion of Christian girls
by allowing them to marry Muslims without ascertaining the pressures
coming to bear on girls when they make declarations of consent before
trial and high courts, nor taking into account their intellectual,
emotional and social maturity.
The petition asserted that courts fail to consider whether
declarations of consent are voluntary or result from threats,
psychological abuse and conditioning and fear of social stigma and
rebuke. The petition also asked the court to recognize the difference between
Pakistani penal laws and sharia (Islamic law), as the latter is one of
the major causes behind the exploitation of Christian girls.
Marshall said the petition was filed under the Pakistani
constitution’s Article 184(3), under which the Supreme Court has
“original jurisdiction in matters of public importance with reference to
the enforcement of any of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the
Constitution of Pakistan.”
The court’s objection that the petition improperly invoked Article
184(3) by failing to address an individual grievance, Marshall said, “in
our opinion, is not sustainable because the matter is not restricted to
an individual case; rather, it relates to the entire Christian
population in Pakistan and violation of their fundamental rights.”….
