Pagans fight - and eat - each other, not always metaphorically; it's MO. Christ ONLY, is the master of universal god-imaging humanity: making EVERY human - not just elite - fully human. So a pagan Chinese enslaving a pagan Arab-ist, whilst sniping another pagan Westerner (engaged in a Christ-inspired tradition of free speech) -- is not too surprising. The Powers fear the god-destroyer, and angle to prevent his return by preventing his effective "gospel" plan... making their followers in-fight gives those followers something to do, other than convert to Christ.
