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."
Malaysian NGOs cry foul over AGC’s double standard when dealing with seditious acts of independent Muslim preachers
Monday, April 01, 2024
Focus Malaysia : THE Global Human Rights Federation (GHRF) alongside 61 coalition
of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) – including from Sabah and
Sarawak as well as concerned Malaysians – will be handing over a
memorandum to Attorney-General Datuk Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh on
Monday (April 1).
The event which will take place at the Attorney-General’s Chambers
(AGC) in Putrajaya will be led by GHRF’s president S. Shashi Kumar who
strongly urged the AG to act against rogue Islamic preachers who have
been insulting and denigrating other non-Muslim faiths and beliefs
causing racial disharmony in Malaysia.
Such preachers include Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu, Firdaus Wong Wai Hung, Ustaz Syakir Nasoha, Ustaz Idris Sulaiman, to name a few.
Despite numerous police reports made against them by GHRF with
sufficient evidence, Shashi claimed that no pro-active measures have
been taken to reprimand these preachers to-date with cases brought up
against them being rampantly classified as No Further Action (NFA) by
the AGC.
“There must not be double standards when dealing with seditious acts
committed by Muslims and non-Muslims whereby immediate action is taken
with hefty punishments meted out on non-Muslims charged with insulting
Islam,” he lamented in a statement to FocusM.
Global Human Rights Federation (GHRF) president S. Shashi Kumar
“On the contrary, no action is taken against Muslims who commit the
same offence against non-Muslims”. Why such double standards by the
AGC?”
