US soldiers in uniform sing, dancing and worship at Camp Pendleton in California.
As the US prepares to lead a coalition into war against the Islamic State, the US soldiers chant “There’s no God like Jehovah!” “There’s no God like Jehovah!” over and over again while exuberantly singing a Christian “worship song” called “Days Of Elijah.”
Such displays could serve to reinforce the notion that the new war against the Islamic State is in reality a Holy War, a war of Christians against Muslims.
The following is a sample of the lyrics:
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord, yeah
And these are the days of Your servant, Moses

Righteousness being restored
These are the days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!
