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."
Jihad Watch : “A billboard up this month in Dallas is designed to encourage dialogue on the fundamental teachings of Islam.”
Jihad Watch has for years provided information about “the fundamental teachings of Islam” and those who follow them. The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), which is responsible for the billboards, is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas jihad terror funding case.
“The Muslim Jesus” campaign was launched by a
Chicago-based group called GainPeace. The group does community outreach
for the Islamic Circle of North America. Sabeel Ahmed is the executive
director of GainPeace.
And in Canada, the Bridging Gaps Foundation launched its first “‘Jesus in Islam’ exhibition at one of Vancouver’s biggest cathedrals – Christ Church Cathedral
in Downtown Vancouver, in collaboration with Masjid al Salaam and
Education Centre.” It was an effort to “bridge gaps” and promote
“dialogue,” allowing people to “experience the Quran.” Never mind the
genocide Muslim are committing against Christians in Africa and the
Middle East. Those Christians have first hand experience of the Qur’anic
verse “kill them wherever you find them” (Quran 2:191). This, of course, was omitted from the “dialogue.” In Nazareth, the birthplace of Christ, some years ago a Qur’an billboard (featuring Qur’an 4:171) warned Christians not to “exceed the limits in your religion” by believing in the Trinity and divinity of Christ. This is what that poster read, and it indicates what the “Jesus in Islam” initiatives are really about, and the inferior place of Christians in Islam:
“O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do
not exceed the limits of your religion. Say nothing but the truth about
Allah (The One True God). The Christ Jesus, Son of Mary, was only a
Messenger of God and His word conveyed to Mary and a spirit created by
Him. So believe in God and His messengers and do not say: ‘Three gods
(trinity)’. Cease! It will be better for you. Indeed, Allah is the One
and the Only God. His Holiness is far above having a son.”
Isn’t it peculiar that the only “acceptable” discussion sessions,
dialogues, conversations about Islam are the ones that promote it
falsely as a religion of peace and tolerance? Any opposing dialogue and
discussion renders one “Islamophobic” and “racist.”
Such deceptions are outrageous. Those Muslims who practice peace are
not the problem. It is the multitude of aggressive, expansionary Islamic
supremacists and jihadists who are the problem. This is what needs
discussion. “Dallas Billboard Seeks To Spark Conversation About Islam,” by Galilee Abdullah, Texas Standard, January 14, 2020 :
