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: “They asked ‘are you Muslim or Christian?’ I told them I was Christian, and they intensified the beating” By Robert Spencer
Wednesday, January 19, 2022
Jihad Watch : This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when a Muslim in Minnesota asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims.
In Burkina Faso in November 2021, Muslims asked villagers if they were Christian or Muslim, then killed the Christians. In the Philippines in
February 2019, Muslims murdered a man for failing to recite Qur’an
verses, while releasing six others who could recite them.
In April 2015, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” stormed Garissa University College, and only shot those who couldn’t recite Qur’an. In a Bangladesh restaurant in July 2016, the jihadis spared those who could recite from the Qur’an. In July 2017 in Kenya,
Muslims asked Christians to “recite Islamic dogmas” and murdered them
when they couldn’t do so.
In May 2018 in Belgium, a Muslim who murdered
four people told a hostage that he wouldn’t harm her since she was Muslim and was observing the Ramadan fast. In September 2018 in Kenya, Muslims murdered two non-Muslims for failing to recite the Qur’an. In Mozambique in June 2021, Muslims were hunting for Christians door-to-door.
“Man Abducted by Fulani Militants: ‘They Asked Me, Are You Muslim or Christian?,’” International Christian Concern, January 16, 2022:
HOW I WAS KIDNAPPED BY FULANI HERDSMEN ON SUNDAY THE 9TH OF JANUARY,2022 ON MY WAY TO JOS AT VOM/GYEL ROAD. I,my brother and our niece was going to Jos and we were trying to catch up cause it was getting late. When we got to vom,we were happy cos we that place to Jos ain't far..
01/16/2022 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) –
Twitter user @JoelMaiwada recently shared the events of his January 9th
kidnapping, when Fulani militants ambushed his vehicle in Jos, Nigeria.
According to Maiwada, he was driving with his brother and niece when
their vehicle was forced to stop. “We couldn’t even move, so I stepped
out,” he shared. “They started beating me with their gun handles and
sticks, pushed me back to the car and they started robbing me, meanwhile
my brother and my niece hid somewhere when the terrorists were after
me.”
“Then, they asked me ‘are you a Muslim or a Christian?’ In Hausa
language and I told them I was a Christian, then they said ‘you have
entered our hand’, and they intensified the beating.” The militants then forced Maiwada to trek towards a cave where they would be keeping him.
“We climbed mountains, walked in Valleys at nights, I almost fell off
a cliff, but they still don’t care, they said it’s a win win because
they will sell my organs if I fall and die.” Eventually, Maiwada was able to call his family, who raised over $24,000 to secure his release. “I want to Appreciate God for coming through for me,” he said.
Several twitter users responded to Maiwada’s thread with support and
prayers. Many shared that they or their family members had also been
kidnapped by Fulani militants…. “After, some people will come and say there’s no jihad agenda,” said
one twitter user. Maiwada replied, “Well, they clearly have an agenda
and it’s clearly working and they are so proud of it, telling me no one
can stop them.”
