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: Last words revealed of Christian woman Muslims burned alive for ‘blasphemy’
Tuesday, May 17, 2022
Deborah Samuel
Robert Spencer : “What do you hope to achieve with this?,” Deborah Samuel asked.
The answer is clear: they hoped to frighten Christians into never
daring to say anything remotely critical or negative to Muslims about
anything in any context, for fear that their words would be interpreted
as “blasphemy.” They hoped to intimidate Christians into submission,
just as Islamic supremacists and their Leftist allies do in the West
with charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia.”
“Blasphemy: Classmate reveals Deborah Samuel’s last word before death,” by Nsikak Nseyen, Daily Post, May 14, 2022:
Deborah Samuel, a student of Shehu
Shagari College Education, Sokoto, who was killed on Thursday for
allegedly “making blasphemous statements about Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
had pleaded for mercy and called out for help before she died.
One
of Deborah’s coursemates, identified simply as Rakia, told Vanguard
that the last word of the deceased was ‘what do you hope to achieve with
this?’ Narrating the incident, she said Deborah was flogged,
killed, and burnt and it was the most horrible thing she has ever
witnessed. “Deborah was my course mate. I just stepped into the class when the uproar on her voice note started.
”It
was her own coursemates that started it. One of them said Deborah dared
them by refusing to apologise when she was asked to. It all started
with a debate on the upcoming examination on a general WhatsApp platform
created for our coursemates. One of the students asked her how she
passed the last semester’s examination and in response, she said it was
‘Jesus o.’
“Immediately, about three other chats came in from two
Muslims and one Christian, telling her to retract the statement. Two
students from other departments who overheard some Muslim boys
discussing the matter told Deborah’s close friends to prevail on her to
retract the statement. But she replied via a voice note on the platform
‘Holy Ghost fire. Nothing will happen to me. ”Is it by force that
you guys will always be sending this religious stuff in this group?
The
group wasn’t created for that but rather as a notice on tests,
assignments, exams, etc, not these nonsense religious posts’…
