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."
Robert Spencer : “The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.’” (Bukhari 4.52.269) And the
Washington Post doesn’t care. They serve the same masters Beydoun does. UPDATE: Jihad Watch reader Elizabeth points out that Pakistan’s Dawn claimed that 40 houses of Muslims were burned, although even they admit that the Muslims began the conflict. Dawn links to the Wire, which does not include this claim.
“Washington Post columnist Khaled Beydoun spreads lies, blames Hindus
for the attack on Hindu New Year celebration in Karauli in Rajasthan,” OpIndia, April 7, 2022:
Washington Post columnist and law
professor Khaled Beydoun posted lies on his Twitter handle regarding the
recent attack on Hindus in Rajasthan. In Karauli of Rajasthan, on 2nd
April 2022, Muslims had attacked a rally of Hindus celebrating the Hindu
new year when it was passing through a Muslim-dominated area. But Khaled Beydoun blamed Hindus for the crime committed by the mob of Muslims.
Khaled Beydoun posted, “40+ Muslim homes + businesses
were set on fire in 24 hours’ time, during Ramadan in Rajasthan India.
Hindutva is terrorism.” He also posted a video in the same tweet…. In
another tweet about the same incident in Karauli of Rajasthan, he
wrote, “Police and Hindutva thugs destroy 40 homes and businesses
belonging to Muslims.” By mentioning the police, he blamed the
Rajasthan’s Congress government for the violence that was actually
committed by Muslims against the Hindus….
There is no reports of Muslim houses being attacked or burnt, as alleged by Beydoun.
