There’s no comeback from this barbaric war on piety (3-3,4)
I believe the answer is:
one-way trip
'there's no comeback from' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'barbaric war on piety' is the wordplay.
'barbaric' is an anagram indicator (a rough or barbaric form of the letters).
'war'+'on'+'piety'='waronpiety'
'waronpiety' anagrammed gives 'ONE-WAY TRIP'.
'this' acts as a link.
