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."
France: Man who vandalized Muslim prayer room turns out to be a Muslim By Robert Spencer
Wednesday, February 16, 2022
Jihad Watch : This story was all set to go into accounts of “Islamophobia” in
France until the identity of the perpetrator was revealed, to the
embarrassment of victimhood advocates. “Isère: prison closed for degrading places of Muslim worship,”
translated from “Isère : prison ferme pour avoir dégradé des lieux de
culte musulman,” by Vanessa Laime, Le Dauphiné, February 11, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
On December 27 at around 10 pm, a
man entered a Muslim prayer room near the Collège in Domène, where he
threw the contents of several cupboards and shelves on the floor, tore
out a radiator and wrote words on a paper tablecloth accusing the imam
of indoctrinating the faithful and making them become terrorists. When
he was stopped by a worshipper and a person in charge of the place, he
fled and shouted incoherent words.
The accused was arraigned on
December 31 in immediate presentment before the Grenoble Criminal Court
and had asked for time to prepare his defence as a new psychiatric
report had been ordered. Pending the new hearing, he was detained in
Grenoble-Varces prison.
On Wednesday, February 9, he appeared in
criminal court again as a prisoner to stand trial for “damaging or
destroying two buildings used for religion” as a recidivist. He was also
charged with stealing – also as a recidivist – the car in which he
slept and drove around. “He is someone who is looking for himself a
bit. He was Catholic before he met a Muslim woman and converted to
Islam.
He is questioning his religion, but there is no Islamophobic
connotation in his actions,” stressed his lawyer Fanny Marion…
