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 beam in his eye which is Infidelphobia in Malaysia - Tackle Islamophobia - Mr. PMX
Thursday, March 23, 2023
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. You should first look at yourself and make changes you need to make. In other words, take the beam (or plank) out of your own eye before you try to take the speck out of someone else's eye.
Malaysiakini : “Islamophobia is an extreme stance of hatred and anti-Islam which is
unreasonable and of insanity because it takes a rather hateful attitude
towards all Muslims, and looks down on and insults the religion and
beliefs of its followers. More here.....
Really PMX ? Infidelophobia is kind of like Islamophobia, only with dead bodies.
Do you suffer spinal twinges
when reading of Buddhist teachers shot in the back by Jihad
terrorists? Are you prone to a slight jabbing pain in
the side when hearing of another Israeli stabbed to death by the
Palestinian Fedayeen? Do you get a sort of burning sensation in
your sinuses upon learning of a family of Hindus burned alive by Mujahideen? Is there a dry or scratchy
feeling in the back of your mouth when told of Christians getting
their throat slashed by Islamists? How about old-school
decapitation with a dull blade? Leave you feeling a bit
light-headed?
If so, then you may have
"Islamophobia", a new term that literally means "irrational" fear of Islam and
its strict devotees. The United Nations held a seminar on
Islamophobia, in which the venerable Kofi Annan, stated that “When
the world feels compelled to coin a new term to take account of
widespread bigotry – this is a troubling development.”
