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."
Minneapolis begins broadcasting Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers
Friday, June 03, 2022
Minneapolis
Robert Spencer : The adhan, prayed in Arabic, repeats “Allahu akbar” six times, “I
testify that there is no god but Allah” three times, and “I testify that
Muhammad is Allah’s prophet” twice.
Dr. Gavin Ashenden, former chaplain to the British queen, who
resigned his position in protest against a Qur’an reading in a Scottish
church, observed that
“the Muslim call to prayer is a dramatic piece of Islamic triumphalism.
It proclaims Islam’s superiority over all other religions, and in so
doing casts Jesus in the role of a charlatan and a liar. The Muslim god,
Allah, is unknowable and has no son. Jesus was, therefore, a fraud in
claiming He and the Father are one.”
Is Minneapolis really wise to broadcast repeatedly a declaration of
the superiority of Islam, a faith that directs its adherents to make war
against Christians and other non-Muslims and subjugate them as
inferiors under the hegemony of believers (cf. Qur’an 9:29)?
Is Minneapolis wise to broadcast the cry “Allahu akbar,” beloved of
jihad terrorists the world over? Chief 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta wrote
this in his letter to himself before
carrying out his jihad mission: “When the confrontation begins, strike
like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu
Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.”
This is why the Fort Hood jihad killer, Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted it as
he shot thirteen Americans in November 2009, and why so many other
jihadis have used it essentially as an announcement that non-Muslims are
about to die.
