"While we live here on earth, we engage in battle as citizens of heaven taking on well-entrenched powers and principalities in the heavenly realms. Our leaders, military, and world need prayer right now that only the Church can provide. Will we rise to meet this moment?"
"That's why I'm asking you to join me in signing FRC's Prayer Pledge for the Iran Conflict - a commitment to stand in the gap for our nation, leaders, and military, for the people of Iran, and for the peace of the region. Praying for spiritual strongholds to come down."
"Perkins' email demonstrates how right-wing religious conservatives are using Trump's war - which he began without the Constitutionally required congressional approval - as a religious battle of Christians against Muslims."
The Family Research Council, led by Tony Perkins, is fundraising from supporters by requesting a 'Prayer Pledge' related to U.S. military strikes on Iran. Perkins frames the conflict as a spiritual battle, asking followers to pray for Iranian Muslims' conversion to Christianity and for divine intervention in military operations. The email uses religious language about heavenly realms and spiritual strongholds while directing supporters to a donation page. Perkins also invokes an Islamophobic narrative by referencing a mass shooting by a Muslim individual in Austin, suggesting it represents potential domestic threats from the conflict. The approach demonstrates how right-wing religious conservatives are characterizing military engagement with Iran through a religious lens of Christian versus Muslim conflict.
