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."

New York to New Delhi: The art of hijacking public property for prayer By Ashlyn Davis
Thursday, June 02, 2022

Times Square Ramadan

Robert Spencer : In 2021, a group of Muslim children decided to offer their Friday prayers right across one of the busiest roads of the Hazaribagh-Chatra area in the state of Jharkhand, India, bringing the heavy evening traffic to a standstill. A netizen uploaded a picture of this demonstration on the Internet, which instantly went viral, sparking massive controversy. The local police arrested those who shared the picture on social media, instead of acting strongly against the adults under whose tutelage the spectacle was put on by the children.

There was a months-long altercation between Muslims and Hindus over prayers in public places of Gurgaon. The Hindu side demanded that the hijacking of car parks, market areas, and government-owned land for prayers must be stopped. Residents of the city assert that parks are created for their children to play and elderly parents to take a stroll. Understandably, Friday evening is the most relaxed time for most urban families, and they may want to spend some of it at the park. But a public park meant for social enjoyment becoming a religious center for a congregation of a particular faith trying to project their command and show off the changing face of Indian demography does not sit well with the locals. Many see this as a show of the Muslimsā€™ growing power and influence in a town or city. Though it didnā€™t spiral into a violent riot, the controversy damaged the ā€œharmonyā€ between the two groups. 

Itā€™s not unusual to find hundreds of Muslims praying on railway tracks or platforms. A dead railway track, a government property, automatically qualifies as a prayer site these days. After witnessing this and noticing this pattern for decades, the silent majority decided not to stay silenced anymore. They have voiced their concern and, in some cases, vehemently opposed the practice of transforming public assets into Islamic properties.

Recently, Hindu activists in Bangalore staged a protest against the unlawful conversion of the public spaces inside the Krantiveera Sangoli Rayanna railway station into a mosque. They alleged that the mosque was set up by converting a portersā€™ restroom that members of all communities used before being turned into Masjid-e-Noorani 10 years ago. Reportedly, non-Muslims are now banned from visiting this particular room. To support their claims, activists have also released videos from this mosque on social media.

Illegal mazars mushrooming on railway platforms has become a familiar sight in various parts of the country. Only if a citizen anyone sums up the courage to report such encroachment in the name of faith and prayer is a police notice sent to take down illegal constrictions; otherwise, they are allowed to thrive. The authorities seldom take cognizance of such structures, and turn a blind eye to them. 

Religious leaders often complain that mosques are crammed with more devotees than they can contain, and complain that their demands for more land/mosques are being overlooked. But how many mosques would be enough to accommodate the prayers of an ever-expanding population? As per the latest studies, there are over 700,000 mosques in India. The country is home to an estimated 204 million Muslims. That translates to 1 mosque for every 291 Muslims. And yet many Muslims are determined to pray in parks and streets on Friday evening, and this remains a bone of contention between the two dominant communities in India.

We conclude this discussion with the opinion of a Quora user, and we quote: ā€œItā€™s not about prayer, itā€™s about display of the imperialist tendencies and the political nature of Islam. The goal is to block roads and cause inconvenience, while calling anyone who opposes it, communal.ā€
