We're watching the various leftist progeny of the Enlightenment duke it out for "Democratization", IMHO.
I don't think any classical scholar -- having the benefit of our scientific discovery -- could find some moral authority in a nation whose President speaks in terms of "Excess" human lives. They had a handle on essential human worth, unclouded by the accidents of personality ... even those by which certain cultural accidents clearly are inferior to others.
For the Christian, it is now man-to-man. There are no Christian nations left. I abhor this persistent positing of the struggle as a Holy War of some sort.
It's packaging. They're just selling the Faithful (social justice Christian, renewed militant Islam, victimized Jew) their triangulation of the People of the Book. It's simply an efficient way to polarize folks and organize hate.
