I think that Tori is criticising the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and George W. Bush's "war on terror" in this song. Al Quaida's spokesman appears more than once in the visualette, together with scenes of gulf war. Bush referred to Iran and Iraq as part of an "axis of evil" while Iran refers to the USA as "the great Satan" so, for each, the other is an "evil faith". While the USA "sells arms in Balmy cities", Al Quaida "blows to bits innocent flesh". Both try in their own way to force the other to submit; the USA would like to spread democracy to the arab world, while the arab world seeks to impose sharia law in the west (several such islamic courts were discovered to be operating in England recently). I think the main point of the song is that it is pointless to use violence to try to impose your point of view on somebody else, and murdering that person when they don't come around to your way of thinking is a twisted and "evil faith" that mankind needs to be saved from.
