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."
My Take : Let's start with the basics first. When Muslims refer to Non Muslims as Kaffirs and Infidels, that's definitely insulting! So please act on your own people. People are Non Muslims because they don't believe in your faith and never will. They will never submit that's why. Calling Non Muslims, Kaffirs and Infidels is truly insulting as we have our own beliefs. We have a faith whether Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrian, Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism and so many other faiths of the world, long before there was Islam. This is an underhanded way to creating a blasphemy law. I don't believe this guy. It's empowering the Muslims to accuse other faiths of insulting Islam. Look at Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan and the 57 other countries. The laws currently are sufficient. They always gave a pass to Islam whenever the Muslims insulted other faiths. This is a diabolical plan to stop scrutiny and be critical of Islam. So when Christians say Jesus Christ is the son of God, they can be accused of blasphemy. Get my drift? People who are so late in history don't want anyone questioning Islam.

freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in
power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” ― James Madison, one of America's founding fathers
COMMENT | Considering what I have
written about what I know to be the existential threat to this country,
this piece may come off as self-serving but it has to be said. The Racial and Religious Hatred Act is really a mendacious piece of
legislation. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mujahid Yusof
Rawa is an affable politician and I think - hope - he means well by
advocating for this Act, but this legislation is in reality a boon for
the Islamic deep state and all those who subscribe to a particular form
of Islam. Generally speaking, do non-Muslims go about insulting Islam? For all
this talk about Christian proselytisation has there been one shred of
evidence that this goes on? To wit, what about the so-called deviant
teachings of Islam – the Shia norms – for example; are they protected
under this Act?
