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."
India: Muslim renounces Islam, accepts Hinduism, is threatened with hellfire and told ‘You will be killed’
Sunday, June 26, 2022
Shaikh Jafar Qureshi
Robert Spencer : Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar has obtained a
recording of a phone conversation wherein a woman is heard persuading
Shaikh Jafar Qureshi, an ex-Muslim to turn back to Islam. The
46-year-old Qureshi renounced Islam and accepted Hinduism in the Mandasaur district of Madhya Pradesh on May 27, 2022.
Qureshi
was given the initiation to Hinduism by performing ritual worship by
Mahamandaleshwar Swami Chidambaranand Saraswati at the Pashupatinath
temple. From May 28 Shaikh Jafar Qureshi was known by his new name
Chetan Singh Rajput.
In the telephonic conversation, the girl
attempted to convince Qureshi to reaffirm his commitment to Islam. She
rebuked Shaikh Jafar Qureshi aka Chetan Singh Rajput for allying with
the ‘Kafirs'(non-Muslims). She claimed that Qureshi was convinced to
convert to Hinduism with the sole intention of demeaning Muslims. She
kept asking Qureshi to swear in the name of Allah and his parents that he would get back to Islam.
According to the reports,
the ritual worship for Qureshi to adopt the Sanatan Dharma was
organized by Mahamandaleshwar Swami Chidambaranand Saraswati of the
Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad Mahanirvani Sangh on May 27. Swami who
gave Qureshi his new name asked to him clean his body with the cow dung
and the holy gau mutra. Mahamandaleshwar Swami Chidambaranand Saraswati
said that the religious ritual was not conducted for conversion, but
‘gharvapsi’ (homecoming).
It is notable here that in the Hindu
faith, there is no concept of ‘conversion’, but those who had strayed
away from the Sanatana Dharma can ‘come back’, by performing certain
rituals. This process is popular as ‘Ghar Waspsi’ (coming back home) in
Hindi-speaking areas.
Qureshi had also termed the
process as ‘gharvapsi’. He said that he has been following the Hindu
religion since his childhood and that he never liked the Islamist people
who possess fanatical thinking.
A Dainik Bhaskar team, meanwhile,
went to Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh to meet Chetan Singh Rajput, who
told the Hindi daily that he has been receiving numerous calls since May
27 asking him to rejoin Islam. Chetan claimed that he has also informed
the cops about this. However, when the Dainik Bhaskar team reached out
to Anurag Sujania, the Mandsaur SP, he said that the police had not
received any complaints regarding the same….
Qureshi further
stated the woman tried to continuously convince him to renounce Hinduism
and accept Islam by and scaring him with the concept of Jahannam
(hell) in Islam. Qureshi recalled the woman telling him, “Brother, you
will certainly burn in the ever-flaming pit of fire in Jahannam (hell). I
asked her whether she has experienced Jahannam (hell). She called me up
multiple times and each time I tried to give her a patient hearing, but
eventually, I stopped picking up her call,” said Qureshi.
He went
on to say that the woman had warned him that if he didn’t change his
religion from Hinduism to Islam again he would not be spared. “After a
while, these individuals who are presently willing to support you won’t
care as much. I am aware of how dangerous they are. You won’t be spared
by them. You will be killed,“ Qureshi remembered her admonishing him….
