No Atheists
In A Foxhole

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."

A rally to Save Jerusalem or Save Umno? - By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy
Saturday, December 23, 2017
Edit : The problem with the Palis is that they do not realize that they are a defeated people. Their aim is to destroy Israel. That will never happen. The UN is a bully when it comes to Israel. The only organization which runs a Palestinian refugee outfit, aids and abets Palestinian terrorism . All other refugees do not count. The Arabs want this sore to fester because of their virulent hatred of Jews. Their religious texts justify that. The Palis are just begging to be wiped out.

Malaysiakini : "Why don't we just... wait here for a little while... see what happens?” – MacReady, ‘The Thing’, 1982

Hamas Charter
COMMENT | A reader wanted to know what my Christmas message was to Malaysians this year. Considering that I have never really written a Deepavali message, Chinese New Year message, Hari Raya message, (insert cultural/religious holiday practised in Malaysia) message, I really did not intend to write any message to anyone. Besides, my articles are not messages – SOSs, really – to anyone interested.
Then I read about this Christian group, which I have never heard of and which apparently have no internet presence – notwithstanding my meagre Google skills – joining the rally to save Jerusalem, and suddenly I was writing a Christmas message. Well, a Christmas misgiving actually. Here is the thing. I realise that I am going to get into trouble with liberal and interfaith types by saying this, but it has to be said. If you are a non-Muslim in Malaysia and you support these types of rallies, what you are supporting is actually anti-Semitism but more importantly, racial and religious supremacy.
When the prime minister claims that he will not back down from the Jerusalem issue even if his body is cut into pieces, did anyone else think of the “It’s just a flesh wound” scene from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"? Maybe it is just me.

Anyway, where were the BN component parties in this ‘Save Jerusalem’ rally? Where was the MCA leadership? Where was the MIC leadership? Where were the other component parties that make up the BN establishment? If this was really a Malaysian issue, should not the establishment bring forth all its multiracial and religious political accoutrements?
This was not a rally to ‘Save Jerusalem’, this was a rally to ‘Save Umno’. Furthermore, those Muslim leaders who chose to attend this rally merely did so to burnish their Islamic credentials. Let there be no doubt that the people who attended this rally have never, ever wanted a just and peaceful resolution to the Palestinian conflict.
This is a country that does not recognise the state of Israel and which encourages anti-Semitic narratives at every turn. Every time the state wants to demonise their political opponents, they claim that these people are “pro-Jewish”. Every time the state wants to rationalise victimisation in the Middle East, they point to “Jews” as the cause and never hold the theocratic regimes accountable for atrocities committed on their citizens.
Remember five years ago, when the state decided that political prisoner Anwar Ibrahim was “pro-Jewish”, I disregarded my own rule about not writing about international issues because I want my articles to be about the issues facing Malaysians. However, since local Muslim NGOs were involved in the debate and I have a bit of experience when it comes to international aid, I thought it would be worthwhile to offer my perspective where normally I would demur.
“Local Muslim NGOs are left pondering who to support - Fatah or Hamas - all the while aid which is supposed to elevate the horrible conditions the Palestinians are living under becomes the prize for the internal squabbling in the Palestinian Authority. In a multiracial/ethnic country like Malaysia, which prides itself on being on the moderate Muslim path, the middle ground means having a nuanced domestic and foreign policy opinion on the Palestinian conflict.” I also took the opportunity to examine the anti-Semitic narratives promulgated by the state and how they applied these narratives to non-Malay citizens.

“Consider the hate speech of Muslim convert Ridhuan Tee Abdullah (photo), a lecturer at the National Defence University, who has taken anti-Semitism to a new level by comparing his Chinese brothers and sisters to the most obscene stereotype of Jews, pleading special knowledge about their community since he was a ‘kafir' (like them) before embracing Islam.”
Defending the sanctity of Islam
When the prime minister claimed that “I would never sacrifice the sanctity of Islam”, my question is, what is the sanctity of Islam worth? How far would you go to defend the sanctity of Islam and, by extension, Jerusalem? How far would Malaysia go to show the US that this country is willing to defend the sanctity of Islam?
Look, even Saudi Arabia, the bastion of the kind of Islam that Malaysia seeks to emulate, has more or less washed their hands off of the Palestinian issue. The kingdom has bigger problems and perhaps loftier ambitions than merely being exporters of Wahhabi-influenced extremism.

Malaysian Muslim potentates can talk about all the rallies they wish to hold in all the mosques all over the country but the reality is that everyone knows, from low-level diplomats to intelligence operatives operating in Malaysia that this is a charade to shore up Malay Muslim support for a hegemon which is afraid to lose political power.
More importantly, rallies like these pose a danger to autocratic Muslim regimes. When you ratchet up the rhetoric when it comes to Islam, there is always blowback. Now the Umno regime may not intend for non-Muslims to be targeted, but the reality is that there will be some Muslims in this rally who are truly brainwashed by propagandists who think they are just serving a regime which wishes to retain power and retaliate against non-Muslims believing that they are defending the sanctity of Islam.
Furthermore, rallies like these are soft targets for non-state actors working in concert with local Islamists to destabilise Muslim regimes who they believe are not a part of the New Islamic World Order. If you think that these security concerns are unwarranted, then by all means continue.
I will end this Christmas misgiving with a passage from my piece about losing much as an authentic Islamic state.
“Malaysia becoming a hotbed of Islamic intrigue by rushing into alliances because the weakened state of the ruling coalition is a dangerous position to be in. History has shown us that situations like this do not end in a whimper. They end with a bang. Most probably, a series of bangs.”
