#1 Opening stories of the future:

"Today, the Knights Templar carried out another anti-slavery raid in the Sudan. An estimated 50 slavers were left dead, and 500 captives were freed. When asked, the Pope said, 'We're sick of the crap, and we're not going to take it anymore.' When pressed on the Templar's use of animist auxillaries, the Pope responded "Hey, it's not like they're Muslim. We can trust animists.'"

#2 probably spurred by Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" an entertaining fictional account of a conspiracy to find the Holy Grail, hidden by the Knights Templar, and guarded by the Grand Priory. Good book, popular right now, and fiction, just like Michael Moore's documentaries

#3 That's so completely quixotic, and yet, sad. The truth is that the best thing Pakistani Christians can do to combat Islamism is to migrate to America and assimilate into the general population. This way, instead of having to fight jihadis with edged weapons, their children will be able to fight them with JDAM's.

#4 I disagree Zhang Fei. The best thing Pakistani Christian can do is to infiltrate Islamist organizations and tell American intelligence.

#7 Look at it this way: It's a more helpful proposal for fighting the WOT than any of the democratic candidates have come up with.

#9 Sit back and take a deep breath. Think this thing through. This has IMMENSE possibilities.

Can you imagine the apoplexy the Iranian mullahs would experience if someone made a few Knight Templar statements about them? Can you imaging how high Mullah Omar's blood pressure would rise if 'someone' began "organizing a crusade" to "free Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan from the clutches of the mullahs"? Why, some of them might get so excited, so enraged, they'd suffer massive heart attacks from the high blood pressure. Maybe they'd suffer an anurism or two. Certainly there would be a record run on blood pressure medications and such other medications as valium and other mood drugs.

Hmmmm. Maybe I need to drop a few bucks on some drug industry stock after all...

#12 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
l can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
"As ye deal with my contemners, So with you my grace shall deal;"
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

It's not called "The Battle Hymn of The Republic" for nothing.

#13 As much as I respect him being a Knight Templar and the ideals he represent.............

This guy is insane. Everyone knows the place for a duel is outside the walls of Jerusalem.

#16 I am reminded that the Brits took a crack at the BHOTR back in 9.2001... it was touching and a little scary. Most battle hymn of that variety have a direct link to the NEW MODEL ARMY. Get down!

#17 Knights Templar supposedly were destroyed in 1307 by Philip II, but legend proclaims that several of them escaped the pogrom with the Templars wealth an sailed to Scotland, where they formed the Scottist Rite Order of Free Masons. Did they? I have no idea, but this man obviously believes they did, and that as Grand Prior he has a right and duty to confront evil as he finds it. Is he nuts? Maybe, but we could use a few more like him.

The original Templars fought the saracens and gained respect for their religion, courage and honor. They would have had nothing but contempt for the modern day islamic cowards
