No Atheists
In A Foxhole

Rudyard Kipling

" ā€œWhen 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 soldierā€
General Douglas MacArthur

" ā€œWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā€

ā€œIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā€
ā€œOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
ā€œThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace,
for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā€
ā€œMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā€
ā€œThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

ā€œNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
ā€œIt 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."

Indira confronts a state that enables kidnapping By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy
Monday, July 01, 2024

Malaysiakini : Baffling

Can you imagine that? The top cop of the country tried to convince a kidnapper to return a child instead of working with the local authorities in the country this kidnapper was to extricate him and the child back to the country which laws he had broken.

Indeed, as former Court of Appeals judge Mah Weng Kwai said - ā€œI am baffled because you have an order of the apex court of this country and the order was to the police to produce this person, and more so if you know where he is.

ā€œ(But you) donā€™t produce him and start talking about negotiations. I just donā€™t understand the reasoning.ā€

With all this in mind, if we didnā€™t second guess how the police were carrying out the business of the state, it says something about our reasoning.

We know that the police knew where he was. We know that the police and senior politicians were attempting to persuade him to do the right thing. We know that they obviously failed to convince this kidnapper to do the right thing.

We know that all this was done under a cloak of secrecy and that their main objective was not to retrieve a kidnapped child but rather to find a win-win situation.

We know that years ago the police decided to remain ā€œneutralā€ when it came to orders from the civil and syariah courts which - as rightly pointed out - was complete bunkum by then-Sungkai assemblyperson A Sivanesan.

ā€œThe police are taking the law into their hands... In this (Indiraā€™s) case, the court order is already there but the police are not acting on it,ā€ he said.

We know that the political apparatus chose to remain silent when the IGP decided to go on his neutral path as then-home minister and current Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi so elegantly put it - ā€œno commentā€.

We now know that what Hamid told the court - that he wasnā€™t certain where the kidnapper was - contradicts his statement about trying to coax Riduan to do the right thing with the help of senior politicians and that at least two former prime ministers were aware of his efforts.

Muhammad Riduan Abdullah

Hence with all this in the public record, can we really believe that there was no bad faith in the way the police had chosen to carry out its duties when it came to this kidnapping case?

Mind you, I think Hamid was sincere (if this makes sense) in trying to achieve some sort of fair deal for the mother but it wasnā€™t his duty to make this deal, only to return a kidnapped child to her mother.

A lost cause?

It would not surprise me if there were enablers, who are average citizens, conspiring to keep this child within Islam.

I do not think these people consider Riduan as some sort of religious martyr but rather they believe that Indiraā€™s daughter belongs to them and their faith.

It pains me to say this but Indiraā€™s daughter probably has been indoctrinated to believe the narrative of her captors instead of her mother.

This is what former foreign law enforcement types and cult deprogrammers tell me when I discuss this case with them.

ā€œThe longer the child is with her kidnapper, the childā€™s situation becomes normalised and with that, the actions of the childā€™s kidnapper.ā€

At every step of the way, Indira has met nothing but resistance from the state and a political apparatus, which has used her when convenient and discarded her cause when in power.

This is really about how this mother has confronted the state and the state security apparatus through its various permutations, which enabled the kidnapping of her child.

This is now the Madani state and there is no happy ending for this mother of a kidnapped child.
