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."
Wait – Doesn’t the Boston Marathon Bomber Want His Heavenly Virgins?
Monday, April 11, 2022
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
Robert Spencer - New in PJ Media: An odd story appeared in the Boston Globe on
Thursday: it seems that “Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is
asking the First Circuit Court of Appeals to stay his execution and
consider four constitutional claims in his case that were not presented
to the US Supreme Court, which last month reinstated the death penalty for
Tsarnaev, ruling that he had received a fair trial for his role in the
2013 terrorist attacks that killed three and injured more than 260.”
But
doesn’t Tsarnaev believe anymore that “death for the sake of Allah is
the highest calling”? Doesn’t he want to enjoy the virgins of paradise?
Could it even be that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, after committing murder for
Allah, has left Islam?
The appeal of the death penalty seems out of character for Tsarnaev,
who remained defiantly unrepentant for a considerable period after the
attack. As prosecutors argued in April 2015 that he deserved the death
penalty, they released a video of
Tsarnaev three months after his attack, looking into the security
camera in his cell, primping his hair in the reflection, and then
flashing the V sign and then giving his middle finger to his jailers.
And why not? He believed he had done a righteous deed. The
motivations of Dzhokhar and his brother and fellow jihad murderer
Tamerlan Tsarnaev became clear very quickly after Dzhokhar was
apprehended. CNN reported a
week after the bombings that “Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, wounded and held in a
Boston hospital, has said his brother—who was killed early Friday—wanted
to defend Islam from attack.”
And just before he was captured, when he was hiding out inside a pleasure boat, Dzhokhar wrote a long self-justification on the inside of the boat, including the line: “When you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims.”
It came to light soon after the bombings that, on a Russian-language social media page, Dzhokhar had featured a
drawing of a bomb under the heading “send a gift,” and just above that,
links to sites about Islam. His brother and accomplice Tamerlan
Tsarnaev’s YouTube page contained two videos by Sheikh Feiz Mohammed.
According to a report published in The Australian in January
2007, in a video that came to the attention of authorities at the time,
Feiz Mohammed “urges Muslims to kill the enemies of Islam and praises
martyrs with a violent interpretation of jihad.”
Tamerlan also described himself as “very religious.” His friend
Donald Larking affirmed this. “Tamerlan Tsarnaev was my friend and we
talked about everything from politics to religion,” according to Larking.
“He was very, very religious. He believed that the Qur’an was the one
true word and he loved it.” Tamerlan did not drink alcohol because Allah
forbade it — “God said no alcohol” — and his Italian girlfriend had
converted to Islam, as his American wife did later. Tamerlan was a
massive influence on his younger brother, who emulated him in every
possible way. There is more.
