What is Fabian strategy?

with 4 comments

The Fabian strategy is a military strategy where pitched battles and frontal assaults are avoided in favor of wearing down an opponent through a war of attrition and indirection. While avoiding decisive battles, the side employing this strategy harasses its enemy through skirmishes to cause attrition, disrupt supply and affect morale. Employment of this strategy implies that the weaker side believes time is on its side, but it may also be adopted when no feasible alternative strategy can be devised. Read the rest of this entry »

Mein Kampf – Volume I, Chapter I: In the Home Of My Parents

leave a comment »

It has turned out fortunate for me to-day that destiny appointed Braunau-on-the-Inn to be my birthplace. For that little town is situated just on the frontier between those two States the reunion of which seems, at least to us of the younger generation, a task to which we should devote our lives and in the pursuit of which every possible means should be employed.

WW2 Aviation Poetry : Night Bombers

with 3 comments

Eastward they climb, black shapes against the grey
Of falling dusk, gone with the nodding day
From English fields.
Not theirs the sudden glow
Of triumph that their fighter-brothers know;
Only to fly through cloud, through storm, through Night
Unerring, and to keep their purpose bright,
Nor turn until, their dreadful duty done,
Westward they climb to race the awakened sun.

Owen Chave (1943)

‘Parachute Jump’ : Between Discipline and Good Judgement

with one comment

Neither Ashlock nor any other man in the plane had ever used a parachute.Or been trained on how to do it. McGovern had said to a veteran pilot at Mountain Home Idaho, “Colonel, we’re about through with our training and none of us have had a parachute jump. Shouldn’t we be trained in that?”

Time Magazine referred to it as “The Caine Mutiny of the 80′s”, while Publishers Weekly stated that it is comparable to the classic but has “wider implications”. The novel covers broad themes associated with war, crime and punishment, culpability of leaders, guilt, justice, honor, and the Vietnam War. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Pastor Terry Jones, How about burn yourself instead of the Qur’an?

with 2 comments

My understanding, there is not much different between racism and religious intolerance. Both promoting hatred. As a muslim, who educated in Islamic school , I’m too aware about the similarity that shared by our brothers and sisters in Christians, Jews and Muslims. Our true message is always got to do with peace, unity and believe in Oneness of God.

We’ve been taught to love our neighbor, regardless the skin color, culture and beliefs. Hence, as an individual who uphold the peaceful message globally, it’s ethically right to put an end to any intolerance movement that cause tensions, that might cause wars.

Some of those so-called the representer of my religion on hatred basis, doesn’t reflect the true teaching of Islam as their claims.

Those people do not speak for me, for you, and for us. You just need to be super stupid to completely agree such act.. Ironically, all these radical voices seems to be louder than all voices of love and tolerance combined.

I don’t think the Pastor Terry Jones is a true Christian pastor. Few days ago, he told to CNN that he hasn’t finished read the Quran entirely, but merely a fraction of it.

Hence, I strongly believe he read the bible and didn’t missed any important point. Ironically, there is nothing in the bible stated one should disrespect any religions, instead of every religions should live peacefully together , respect your neighbor (even enemy) inspite of their differences .

His claims is too irresponsible and unChristian for many reasons.

People need to comprehend all these radical act got nothing to do with the religion teaching itself. It’s all about a hidden plan of certain extremist group , who are desperately need a forcement to allowing their horrible act in the name God.

Does burning the Qur’an is the only solution to portray the Christians’s dissatisfaction or prejudices towards the Muslims? I believe, there are millions of wise christians, even a simple minded person will never agreed such act. This is the question that Pastor Terry Jones and whoever on his side should answer.

Personally, I denounce this immoral behaviour ceased to exist. The Qur’an burning day would damage U.S image badly, which is known for its religious freedom. It will be triggered more opposite radical group to incite violence. It also will improve the mass awareness of Islam to global communtities (muslims/non-muslims), beside the matter-of-factly, to increase our devotion and commitment to Islam.

It’s a global responsibility, not to let the religion or race divide us from one another. Respect everyone as you deserved.

Dear Pastor Terry Jones, How about burn yourself instead of the Qur’an?

Peace and love,

LC marshal
