Global Jihad: CNN's chief apologist for Islam, Christiane Amanpour, has gone too far this time. Not content to just whitewash jihad, she says Jews and Christians are terrorists, too.
According to her new three-part series, "God's Warriors," militant Islamists are really no different than right-wing Christians or Jews. So who are we in the West to judge?
Of course, it's cultural relativism — and journalism — at its worst. What's stunning is the lack of evidence Amanpour provides to support her case.
That CNN would give her six prime-time hours to peddle such tendentious trash to a public still under real threat from Islamic terror speaks volumes about the network's agenda.
The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America slammed the series as "one of the most grossly distorted programs" ever aired on mainstream American TV.
CAMERA was being kind. Amanpour's premise that Christianity and Judaism have spawned just as many terrorists as Islam is absurd on its face.

Christiane is married to Jewish man (Jamie Rubin) and they haver a son who wold be singled out for execution in any Islamist terror act, on the basis of his birth religion.
I wonder if Jamie Rubin is as morally relativistic as she? Probably. And a Hillary Clinton supporter no doubt.
i don’t take it in a bad way at all-i just can’t believe that this woman couldn’t feel fully American for being jewish-she didn’t mind getting a good education and making plenty of money in the country of her birth-she’s an ingrate and a phony-i could never take sides against my country even if we’re doing something i may disagree with-i guess i just hate to see someone acting out the worst imaginable stereotype-of course my family comes first in the world-always has-but there is no imaginable conflict there affecting the way i feel about being American-as far as my beliefs in spiritual matters i just don’t discuss them-i keep it between myself and the Creator
LOL
Who is Emo Phillips!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Judging by how many Christians there are in Africa, I must disagree with your assertion that European missionaries did relatively poorly in converting people through imperialism. One can argue with their methods — and I do — but the point I was making was that take-overs of nations was done in the name of Christianity.
Again, however, that phase is over, and Christians aren’t the ones committing murder in Jesus’s name.
