In almost all of the world, in multi-religious societies, we all know who is getting threatened by who. Just look at Nigeria, for instance. If you’re a Christian, or even a secularist, you know full well who is threatening you, and it’s generally people of one certain faith.

The decision followed a Friday White House meeting during which Trump and his top national security advisers weighed whether to significantly escalate operations against Iran following nearly two weeks of sustained U.S. strikes.
