“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."
Apparently Camel Jockeys think that they are masters of the world
Jihad Watch : The late Anwar Shaikh, a scholar of Islam who lived in the West, argued in his Islam: The Arab National Religion
that Islam has always been a “vehicle for Arab supremacism.”
It’s not
hard to see how he came to that conclusion. The Qur’an, after all, was
delivered to an Arab, and in his language. The Qur’an ideally should be
read, recited, and memorized, in the original Arabic. Muslims prostrate
themselves in prayer five times a day, always turned toward Mecca, in
Arabia.
If they can afford it, Muslims should at least once in their
lives make the hajj to that same Arabian city of Mecca. So great is the
prestige of the Arabs in Islam that non-Arab Muslims, especially
converts, frequently adopt Arab names. Many Muslims, too, especially in
Pakistan, add the honorific “Sayid,” indicating — falsely — that they
are descended from the Quraysh, the tribe of the Prophet.
Recently a Jordanian Member of Parliament and former cabinet
minister, Mohammed Nouh Qudah, spoke in a television interview about the
superiority of Arabs to all others. His story is here at memri.org. He said:
When the Arabs received Islam, it came with the idea that
they are the masters of the world. Today, some people want us to
manufacture planes, cars, and trains and then compete with Europe and
America, but this is not the purpose for which we were created.
When
Allah created us as ‘peoples and tribes’ [as the Quran says], He endowed
us Arabs with thought and guidance and He created the other peoples as
students who follow our guidance. They are the ones who should work.
This way, our thought and their work complement each other, and this is
how the world is built. This is why God said in the Quran: ‘…and We
raised some of them above others in ranks.
Since “the Arabs” have not shown any ability to “manufacture planes,
cars, and trains” or to compete with either the West, or the East, in
building a modern economy, MP Mohammed Nouh Qudah has a soothing
explanation. The Arabs were never supposed to work. They are too good
for that. They will provide “guidance” to all the other, inferior
peoples, for “they [the non-Arabs] are the ones who should work.” It’s a
perfect combination.
We are the masters of the world. I’m not saying
this out of a sense of superiority. No, no. I say this as a way to put
things in order. This is why God sent the message to the Arab nation. He
instilled in the Arabs traits of leadership that He did not bestow upon
others. I say to my brothers who watch us from Europe, America, or
elsewhere:
Go to any school, where there are children. Look at the way
the children move, and you will notice that the Arab children are
different from the children from the rest of the world. It shows! Take
them on a trip, and you will see that the Arab children are different.
This is not about castes, about racism, or about discrimination. I am
talking about traits and different genes.
Not since the heyday of Hitler, with the Nazis singing the praises of
the pure Aryan race, has there been such a claim of racial superiority.
“We are the masters of the world.” How does this differ from Hitler’s
message? For “Aryan,” read “Arab.” But Mohammad Nouh Qudah doesn’t want
to be misunderstood. He doesn’t make this claim “out of a sense of
superiority.” No, not at all. But he has merely fulfilled his solemn
duty to tell the truth, to make sure everything is “put in order.”
No
need for mental chaos or confusion. We Arabs are too modest. We need to
recognize that we are born leaders. We provide “guidance” to all other
peoples. We have traits of leadership in our genes that no other people
possesses. Just look at our leaders throughout history. True, the
Mongols conquered us, and then so did the Ottomans, and finally the
Europeans, but we have thrown over all those yokes, and now we lead the
world.
