He says Glory be to God! 

Yes. 

 

How does using this expression make it a religious war? 

 

What is a religious war and how is that different than other wars?

Or a sarcastic taunt to Islam. A modern day, "where is your god? Have him save you! I've defeated everyone around you! Will your Allah save you?! Praise be to Allah!" 

Sounds like the Rabshakeh's taunts to Hezekiah.

Only that the Rabshakeh taunted the man of the living God!

Iran is a Islamic regime. And i just thought  if that is  Trump's statement, he is doing war  in the name of his God.

Throughout history presidents and leaders have done this.  Invoking God in times of war is very common. 

 

I can understand that, since Iran identifies closely with a certain branch of Islam, many people have concluded this is a war on religion.  If that is really the case, though, do you think the war would be limited to just Iran or wouldn't all Islamic countries be fighting the United States? 

 

Notice from this article how many Islamic nations are supporting the US in this war against Iran.

If this was a religious war, a war against religion, would these Islamic countries support the US?

Historically, conquest + forced conversion = Religious wars. Think Crusades. Today's war is power, security, and influence through "SOME" or "A LOT" of religious rhetoric depending on the side to make actions appear righteous.

 

If Israel or US forced conversion after conquering Gaza or even Iran. Islam to Christianity/Jewish, then we're talking religious war. Pure religious wars are rare in reality.

Today is the day Trump is supposedly going to destroy the whole civilization of Iran.

Thank you for your observations, I understand what you are saying. It's interesting that he invokes God to justify what he is doing. One day he may find out how Jehovah really feels about what he and the other world leaders are doing. We just need to wait and watch.

Exactly.  These extremists twist the scriptures as an excuse for violence and, then they say that God is on their side. 

 

This is all demonic driven.   We are that much closer to the GT.  Lets wait on Jehovah.  He has all things under control.
