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."

The Butchers of Udaipur
Robert Spencer : “Narrated Aisha: Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls
were singing beside me the stories of the Ansar concerning the Day of
Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, ‘Musical
instruments of Satan in the house of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) !’ It
happened on the `Id day and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘O Abu Bakr!
There is an `Id for every nation and this is our `Id.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari 952)
“Udaipur butchers: Weaponized by radical ideology before picking up the cleaver,” by Nitin Jain, India Today, July 6, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
In yet another evidence that the
Udaipur butchers are long-term extremists, voice notes of one of them
accessed by India Today suggest the killers were already weaponized by
radical ideology before they slaughtered Kanhaiyalal Teli over the
alleged disrespect to the Prophet.
In
an audio message to his former employer in February, assailant Riyaz
Attari could be heard expressing his contempt for singing and music in
accordance with some interpretations of Islamic law.
“MUSIC IS SINFUL”
Attari
taunted Shoyab Pathan, a factory owner, about committing religious
wrongdoing for posting a song and happy family moments in a WhatsApp
status after recovering from an accident.
“As-salamu alaykum,
Shoyab Bhai. You should rather be grateful to Allah who gave you a new
lease of life. Don’t waste this life singing songs. Say grace and be
grateful to Allah for saving your life.
Don’t commit this sin of
singing,” Attari told his ex-boss in a February 25 message….
