How come Buddhists and Hindus got left out? They should sue or something.
“How come Buddhists and Hindus got left out?”
The left likes them. Their cultures are superior to ours in their eyes.
Of course not. Suggesting it isn't creating it.
Yes, it was a very interesting miniseries..
Good for CNN & Amanpour...
It also suggests that God himself is somehow responsible for all of these "warriors". This is another subtle dig at all Theists by the obviously atheist CNN reporter and editors.
So, before I even started watching it I was unhappy. Last nights Christin Warriors segment was appallingly bad, mixed up and dishonest, IMHO. (I fell asleep somewhere near the end of the first hour, maybe it got better.)
Jerry Falwell is a polarizing figure and is not the legitimate spokesperson for many religious people. Why no arch-bishops, or Mormon elders or equivelent actual leaders of large American denominations?
Shambhala Warriorship cannot be pre-empted by anyone. The MSM shouldn't even try.

The MSM is trying to equate the Islamic Fascists to having a warriorship tradition. I don't think the fasicsts have any such thing, they are simply barbarians who have gone past devotion in their religion, to bath in megalomania. Thats not warriorship , but its opposite, egocentric insanity, know in the East by the sandskrit term : Rudra.
These CBS programs will secretely try to equate the Islamic version of warriorship to those of the west which are not easilyt equated, because they are founded on the idea of campassion, and its corresponding grace, and blessings from G_D.
This is all an MSM surrpetitious attempt to convince America, that Islam is a religion of peace, in ignorance of its jihadist manifestation ( BARF ALERT!). Submit, Submit, Submit!
Shame, Shame, Shame!
In terms of international coverage, whether it has been of the Balkan situation or that in the Middle East, Amanpour's coverage can only be counted as "Pro-Islamic" and "propagandistic". Her coverage of the Balkan situation was badly slanted against the Serbians, both overstating the absolute numbers of mass graves found, and ignoring the atrocities committed against the Serbian people. When the Croatians ethnically cleansed nearly 800,000 Serbs from Serbian Croatia, she reported nothing. Amanpour's most recent "documentary", "God's Warriors", which aired the week of 20 August 2007, equated Islamic jihadists and suicide bombers with the Jewish and Christian tradition of martyrdom. Her coverage is so distorted that it bears no resemblance to history or modern political reality. In this sense, Amanpour provides a good example of the leftist politicization of the modern press, and its abandonment of standards of accuracy in reporting.
I hope everyone that watched this CNN propaganda noted the
WARM AND EXTENDED EMBRACE of “journalist” Christianne Amapour
with THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER (Jimmy Carter).
Talk about liberal/secular-progressive propaganda.
Hilaire Belloc wrote in 1938:
“Will not perhaps the temporal power of Islam return and with it the menace of an armed Mohammedan world, which will shake off the domination of Europeans — still nominally Christian — and reappear as the prime enemy of our civilization? The future always comes as a surprise, but political wisdom consists in attempting at least some partial judgment of what that surprise may be. And for my part I cannot but believe that a main unexpected thing of the future is the return of Islam”.
Islam has no philosophical, intellectual or revelational kinship with either Judaism of Chrisitanity. Ishmael, the patriarch Abraham’s son by the slave girl, is said to be the progenitor of the Arab peoples, an occurrence that preceded the founding of Islam by centuries, and Arab is not an analog for Muslim.
Inaccurate. Supreme religious authority in the RC Church was vested in the Pope, supreme political authority in Europe was vested in the King or Emperor.
During the Middle Ages, neither was generally able to consistently enforce this supreme authority.
Actual caesaropapism was established in the late Roman Empire and throughout the history of the Byzantine Empire. It re-emerged in the Russian Empire.
There is a decent argument that Western Civ turned out different from Islamic and Orthodox Civ partially because supreme religious and political authority was split.
"Show me respect" .. "SHUT_UP!"
..then he hung up as gun-fire erupted in the background.
1. The protestant reformation rejected the papacy.
2. The Holy Scriptures of Christianity provide no rationale for establishing a singular human head of the church on earth, and Protestants, basically but in varying degrees as regards certain specifics, deem said Scriptures normative.
I kept waiting for her to accuse most Christians of being raging heterosexuals....such was the level of discourse...paraphrasing,(breathlessly) if Christians had their way, there would be no abortion, and there would be prayer in schools....
“rather than any conspiracy theory about what the left likes”
It was tongue-in-cheek, buddy. Lighten up.
Is this a joke? Calling fundamentalist Christians and Muslim soldierd “warriors” like they were the same thing?
CNN is the ultimate bed-wetting liberal latte-drinking volvo driving pansy network.
