Order of the Bath

When listening to the disturbing news about the kidnapings in Iraq yesterday, I was suprised to note that the organisation claiming responsibility call themselves “The Swords of Truth.”

I always thought that this was a Christian expression quoting Ephesians but my memory was faulty though the principle is correct. Eph 6:14–17 has the belt of truth, coat of integrity, shoes of (the gospel of) peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation and sword of the word of God (which is, of course, truth).

However is seems that lots of other people claim the Sword of Truth: Hindu, Fantasy Fiction, Earth observation satelite, Islam, Excalibur
