RIJIMMY, you're completely missing the point and mixing references to god.

A big difference between doing right by God, and believing you're doing God's will. Sure reads to me like she was thinking the later, and every government official who's said anything similar has taken it hard for their words. She's speaking to a lot of influential minds in that video.

There are a lot of influential evangelicals (and non evangelicals) who do believe this is a Christian vs Muslim issue.
