If this thing eventually snowballs into the conflict that it could become, the West is going to need to marshal every available resource to win it - including it's Christian heritage.

While we're marshalling our Christian heritage we'd better not drive off nonchristian allies.

The jews had the good sense to appreciate Cyrus's reign instead of opposing him because he wasn't Jewish.

I agree.

Just a general note here:

I ping people of MANY faiths (yes, including Muslims) to various articles.

Or the nearly 1 billion Hindus to the east of Pakistan, or the several hundred million Buddhists of SE Asia.
