President Trump is threatening to bomb Nigeria, alleging the country is failing to protect Christians from persecution, even as many victims of the fundamentalist insurgent group Boko Haram are Muslims. "This theme of persecution of Christians is a very politically charged, and actually religiously charged, theme for evangelicals across the world," says Anthea Butler, the author of White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America. Despite the fact that the country's conflict cannot be reduced to religious enmity, for extremist evangelical Christians, Nigeria "is a place where the administration could prosecute a holy war" using a "savior narrative."
