CNN will premiere a six-hour television event across its U.S. and international networks in August on the impact of the rise of religious fundamentalism as a powerful political force in three faiths: Judaism, Islam and Christianity. CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour traveled the world to report CNN Presents: God’s Warriors. The U.S.premiere airs Tuesday, Aug. 21, through Thursday, Aug. 23, from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. each night (ET/PT).
“God’s Warriors is an investigation of religion, at a time when religious activism is a signature cultural phenomenon of our times,” said Mark Nelson, vice president and senior executive producer for CNN Productions. “This project’s global scope is ideally suited for the skills of someone with as impressive of a journalistic pedigree as our own Christiane Amanpour.”
For this documentary, Amanpour reports that during the last 30 years, each faith has exploded into a powerful political force, comprised of followers – “God’s warriors” – who share a deep dissatisfaction with modern society, and a fierce determination to place God and religion back into daily life and to the seats of power. Their political and cultural struggles to save the world from what they view as secular materialism, greed and sexual corruption have caused anger, division and fear.
“There are millions of people around the world who feel that their faith is being ignored – pushed aside – and they are certain they know how to make the world right,” Amanpour says. “We cannot and should not ignore them. And, with this report, we’ve tried to explain them.”

I’m not interested. CNN is anti-American, anti-Christian 24/7.
this is one of those things were the everyone knows how it ends before he sees it.
She also claimed that the time is now for moderate muslims to come forward and the silence is deafening. She is half British, Iranian but her husband is jewish.
Her husband is Rubin, a Clinton stooge, hence another self-hating Jew.
i expect as much, 3 part series about jews, christians, and muslims... i wonder who cnn will give the benefit of doubt. i’m hoping i’ll be surprised
They’ll count Rudolph and McVeigh as “Christians”.
she might as well go hunting for sasquach. is there moral authority in the islamic framework for "moderation," which might be defined as "compatibility with other religions?"
I heard her tonight and I thought she had matured and was interested in being considered a serious journalist. I was impressed.
Oh give me a break, have these people ever opened a history book???
i’ll watch, but will surely be pissed
Gonna have to watch it and see if they cover Christians stoning young girls that are victims of rape. /sarcasm
It’s a hit piece. Trust me. It promotes the secular humanist view that all religion is bad, etc.
Watch the sections on “Christianity” - total bs.

Christiane Amanpour drawing a comparison between Christian fundamentalists and Islamic terrorists? No thanks, I need to pick my nose that night.
Like I’ve ever seen any good that has come out of secular humanism?
That’s what their line is going to be:
that radical muslims (but I repeat myself...) are no different than conservative Christians.
Screw CNN!
They're still in business?
I agree. Having CNN tell us about religion is like have Bill Clinton tell us about abstenance...
