New TV Series Has 'Extremist' Christian Beheading 'Moderate' Muslim Last week, the BBC aired a new TV series titled "Bonekickers" touted as a "groundbreaking" show where "history comes alive," and a series that is "Based in fact." The premier episode, though features an odd thing if "fact" is the aim of the Beeb's new TV series: a Christian beheading a Muslim. Yeah, THAT is really a "fact" based premise, isn't it? Of course, the few remaining Christians in Britain have found themselves a bit put out by this "fact based" show where it is a Christian beheading a Muslim instead...

See [again, CNN's Tonight - Jihadists apologist] Christianne Amanpour's FAKE 'Jewish warriors' What a low level of fake “journalism” in turning self defense by Israelis into a “religious matter”, in a cheap attempt to try and equate anti terrorism to Jihadi fascists, only Islamic “warriors” kill in the NAME of religion, even Christianne Amanpour “strongest proof”: Baruch Goldstein did NOT act in the name of religion, he went mad and insane, personally after friends were all killed. CNN's program tonight 9 PM ET, which is nothing but an appeasement for the only ones that are of a real threat to...

Not only did she avoid mentioning the Saudi (Arab) lobby, which is by far the most powerful lobby in America, but she also chose to solicit the opinions of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter (himself a lobbyist for Arab causes), as well as professor Mearsheimer, both known for their controversial anti-Israel positions. Stunningly, no expert contradictory opinion to these two was offered during the six-hour program. It would have been just as easy for Amanpour to pose the same questions to Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz or Professor Fouad Ajami. http://www.aina.org/news/2007082994324.htm

Had CNN's Christianne Amanpour's "God's Warriors" not be a propaganda piece Had it be a documentary: You would have seen: Muslim clerics calling to kill non Muslims for no reason at all, for Allah. You would have seen: Video clips of homicide-bombers shouting 'Allah Akbar' (Allah is great!), at each massacre the Islamists perform. You would have seen: Jihad camps where little kids are being taught how non Muslims are apes and pigs and should be eliminated. You would have seen: Non violent Christians protesting abortion clinics (stressing the usual 'non-violence' aspect NOT the isolated 'bombing' of a clinic). You...

Because for 'Christianne Amanpour': Luxuary of ONE or two Arab "Palestinians" is more worth than LIVES of scores of Israelis? You haven't missed anything if you haven't seen the propaganda piece "God's warriors", or the bigoted part therein where a 'Palestinian' complains about the wall... The Threat Everybody knows what a genocide bomber is, everybody knows the massacres by "freedom fighters" 'Palestinians' as well as their reduction thereof after the erection of the security wall, or what radical 'Palestinians' intentions are, in their charter, as well as here and there declarations, from annihilation of all non Muslims, non Arabs [aka...

“Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America.” Perhaps you remember that pearl from Rosie O’Donnell, the perpetually agitated former co-host of The View. While few had put it quite so brusquely, O’Donnell’s sentiment was hardly a novel one. A steady stream of books and films had for years demonized conservative Christians, attacking their rising influence in politics and on broader American life as heralding the establishment of a Christian theocracy. It was against this backdrop of anti-Christian paranoia that CNN recently aired “God’s Warriors,” a mini-series that investigated what animates the most fervent...

CNN's Christiane Amanpour has set a new standard - and not the kind a news network usually trumpets. God's Jewish Warriors, her two-hour screed against Israeli settlers and American supporters of Israel, is the most poisonously biased and factually shoddy feature to air on mainstream American television in recent memory. The August 21 broadcast was the first of God's Warriors, a three-part CNN series, ostensibly examining the role of people who want "God back in their daily lives, back to the seat of power." In actuality, the deeply false premise of the programs, established in the opening scene, is the...

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...

One of these days, CNN will have to dispense with the ominous music it uses for Christian documentaries and go for the full effect, using the Jaws soundtrack. Last night, in the third segment of a six-hour series called God’s Warriors, CNN served up a two-hour, heady brew of fear, distortion and manipulative media techniques to paint a scary picture of conservative Christians in America. The first two segments, featuring Muslims and Jews, reportedly racked up just over two million viewers per night. All three segments will air again late Saturday and Sunday evenings. Reporter Christiane Amanpour generally effects the...

  A day prior to the airing of Christiane Amanpour’s six-hour CNN documentary entitled God’s Warriors, I was one of four clergymen to be a guest on Larry King Live to discuss the issue of fundamentalism in today’s world.  The interview on Larry King was pre-recorded in mid-July and none of the participants had seen the six-hour documentary because it was still being edited.  Now that I have seen it, I sent the following critique to the producers of God’s Warriors.1. MORAL EQUIVALENCY - There is no moral equivalency between some 200 Israeli fanatics prone to violence and tens of thousands...

FridayÂ’s earlier post on CNNÂ’s "God's Warriors" hinted that CNN and Christiane Amanpour gave Muslim "fundamentalists" in the U.S. sympathetic treatment, while they showed discomfort towards Christian conservatives. The original intention was to give examples of each in that post, but the distinction is so clear and important that it deserves its own separate post. Bob Knight of MRCÂ’s Culture and Media Institute detailed some examples of AmanpourÂ’s biased treatment of Christian conservatives in his latest column. She spent the last 20 minutes of "GodÂ’s Christian Warriors" profiling the Battlecry Campaign of Ron Luce, an evangelical Christian who runs a...

One of these days, CNN will have to dispense with the ominous music it uses for Christian documentaries and go for the full effect, using the Jaws soundtrack.

The three part series on Christianity, Islam and Judaism is an enormous six hour long undertaking presented by veteran reporter Christiane Amanpour who is known to millions of Americans for her stellar reporting during the early days of the Iraq war.

The three part series on Christianity, Islam and Judaism is an enormous six hour long undertaking presented by veteran reporter Christiane Amanpour who is known to millions of Americans for her stellar reporting during the early days of the Iraq war. CNN’s choice of Christiane Amanpour to present these controversial issues was a wise choice because of her experience and her obvious ability to ask meaningful questions with skill and excellent timing.

Christiane AmanpourÂ’s six-hour miniseries "GodÂ’s Warriors" reflects less of the reality of "fundamentalist" monotheists - Jews, Muslims, and Christians - and more of liberalsÂ’ attitudes about these faiths. It is clear, given how CNN and Amanpour covered each faith, that they have sympathy towards Muslims in the U.S., "concern" with the Jewish settlers in the West Bank, and are uncomfortable towards the beliefs and practices of Christian evangelicals. Tuesday nightÂ’s "GodÂ’s Jewish Warriors" focused on the cause of the "right-wing" Jewish settlers. The term "right wing" is used seven times to describe the settlers and/or their supporters in Israel and...

For several weeks CNN has been hyping their miniseries God’s Warriors as an “unprecedented six-hour television event.” The series dedicates two hours each to “God’s Jewish Warriors,” “God’s Muslim Warriors,” and “God’s Christian Warriors.” Prior to the first airing, CNN invited several bloggers to preview a few clips from the series and to submit a question for Christiane Amanpour to be answered during a special webcast. The three clips provided by CNN each highlighted one of the “fundamentalist” branches of the three Abrahamic faiths: the segment on Jews focused on theocratic Israeli settlers, including the man who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin;...

FT. LAUDERDALE, Aug. 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rev. Gary Cass, Chairman and CEO of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, will be available to the media to respond to tonight's airing of CNN's program "God's Warriors," hosted by Christina Amanpour. Tonights program which will look at Christianity. "It will be interesting to see if Amanpour's attitude can transcend that of CNN's founder Ted Turner," said Cass. "CNN is generally perceived to be biased against Christians." Ted Turner: Christians are "bozos" and "Christianity is for losers" and the Ten Commandments "out of date," especially the one against adultery. Bill Press: Host of CNN's...

14:30 PM 9 Elul 5767, August 23, '07 CNN Special Compares YESHA Jews to Muslim Terrorists (IsraelNN.com) Left leaning cable news station, CNN, has broadcast a documentary called Gd’s Warriors that compares the Jewish resident of Judea and Samaria to Muslim terrorists. Calling it the most grossly distorted program to appear on mainstream American television in many years the CAMERA media watch dog group slammed CNN’s slanted journalism and the show's host Christiane Amanpour: “Its basic premise is established in the opening scene in which Jewish (and Christian) religious fervency is equated with that of Muslims heard endorsing "martyrdom," or...

God's Jewish Warriors — CNN's Abomination CNN's "God's Warriors," hosted by Christiane Amanpour, is a three-part series intended to examine the growing role of religious fundamentalism in today's world. Unfortunately, the first program in the series, "God's Jewish Warriors," is one of the most grossly distorted programs to appear on mainstream American television in many years. It is false in its basic premise, established in the opening scene in which  Jewish (and Christian) religious fervency is equated with that of Muslims heard endorsing "martyrdom," or suicide-killing. There is, of course, no counterpart among Jews and Christians to the violent...
