ISIS thinks Allah is on its side. Almost every side in every war claims a deity is blessing it. Such delusions are reckless. Nothing is more dangerous than a ‘holy war’ or, for that matter, a ‘holy withdrawal.’” FFRF noted the inappropriateness of selecting the passage from Isaiah, which it called a “fever dream of a story,” while referring to the 20-year-long war in Afghanistan. The scorched-earth passage urges a pointless religious mission that does not end: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged, until the Lord has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken.” Isaiah 6:11–12.]
