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."
Pakatan Harapan is becoming a "Hopeless Front" on the Khat and Zakar Naik issues, did I misspell Zakar, Malaysiakini?
Sunday, August 25, 2019
Malaysiakini : A Bersatu Minister fetes Zakar Naik for dinner at his residence, Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman appears to
have buried the hatchet with controversial preacher Dr Zakir Naik.
The two had dinner tonight at Saddiq's house in Petaling Jaya, just ten days after the minister called for Zakir to be deported over his remarks about Chinese Malaysians. Hitler
gives the order, the SS has to toe the line. It's a party thing.
“Before Hitler attacks any country, his agents carefully sow seeds of
hate and disunity...." Sieg Hail!
Mohiddenhand : Bersatu are the one pouring fuel on the fires you guys started. A reminder, Khat and Zakar Naik? Recall that shit? Now you are reaping what you have sown.
Via WhatsApp : Well spoken, Syed Sadiqq, your charitable words of advice reflect wisdom beyond your years. How true when you reminded that national unity was a strengthen though you did not add that this vitality has so diminished that we now need a foreign fugitive to heal us and bring us all back to the path of righteousness and divine salvation. Such is your commitment to forgiveness that rather than restricting yourself to issuing a mere statement, you had to invite the renegade to your house to break bread with him.
I take it that the meeting of the two brothers would not have been complete without an embrace which no doubt was also a moment of inspiration for you. Forgiveness, what a wonderful virtue it is following apology, an attribute we seem to encounter with increasing frequency, from how a fallen student is welcomed back into society since we agree that being a convicted child-pornography criminal is just one of those stumbles anyone could be prey to.
Just as a fanatic bent on destroying a fragile racial and religious fabric should have his mild sins overlooked because we all make mistakes. In time, perhaps courts and jails may not be necessary, but of course, only where Muslims are concerned.
We had our suspicions when you, so snug under Mahathir’s thumb, earlier dared to come out with a strong condemnation of the outlaw, demanding that he be deported forthwith. We now realize that it was part of a poorly-written script, there never was any intention to send that trash away from this country.
He will remain here until he takes us into the fires of hell, my only consolation being that you, Hadi, and Mahathir will also be there. We equally realize that every Muslim leader in our country cannot be trusted, everyone of you do not in any way differ from the principles guiding Hadi Awang and that runaway from Mumbai, all of you subscribe to that belief that the worse Muslim, even or especially if he were the scum of the earth, is to be preferred over a non-Muslim however noble he may be.
We, alas, cannot do anything. But at the next elections, there will be countless spoiled votes.
