Discovering friends and allies, discarding false ones and making new
ones, will test our cultural and political intelligence to a
hitherto-unknown degree. But the very complexity and subtlety of the
task is one of the things that makes this war worth fighting

is a good way to discover who your friends are? Waging war is a good way
of dealing with subtle tasks?
Sharia law makes at least as much sense as this.
Warm regards
