It is past time we declare this a religious war - it was already declared on us in that fashion - dancing around in a vain attempt not to offend those that want us dead is delusional. It may not be Christianity vs Islam since the USA is not uniformly Christian (about 78% I believe) but it certainly the US vs Islam. There is no other meaningful, logical way to frame this conflict.
Hatred of the US and Israel in particular and the West in general is as integral to modern Islam as the Eurcharist is to the Catholic Church.

Not all Islam but at least against our friends, the Saudis and their wahhab death cult, that has mushroomed like an evil growth around the world, under the not so watchful eyes of the USA.
It is long overdue time to shatter the Saudi state, a festing pus filled cesspool of evil, despite their alliance with the US.
Of course, that goes back to the hole big enough to drive a 7847 through, the socalled war on terror, a tactic, instead of the nationstates and ideologies that hate the world.
It's not Islam vs Christianity,
It's the Wahhabs vs everyone else, especially other islami orders.
But the oil from Saudi tends to overshadow a lot of evil.

While your point is true, it is not helpful to say so. Prosecuting a religious war is so-not-done. Fighting terror is.
You and I know the difference, but a fig-leaf is necessary as a sop to modern anti-religious prejudice. If we declared a religious war, Europe might join up against us.
Islamofascists have declared a religious war. Whatever. We'll just kill and imprison them by the hundreds of thousands.
