God's Warriors.... CNN

Did anyone watch CNN's documentary "God's Warriors" hosted by Christiane Amanpour?

It consisted of three two-hour presentations starting Tuesday night on the radical Jews and Israel. On Wednesday evening it considered Islam and fundamentalist Muslims. Tonight it ended with two hours on American evangelical Christians.

I found it not only very interesting, but very disturbing! What I learned was that we ‘normal?' humans on this Earth are all faced with the peril of religious fundamentalism regardless of the denomination, Jew, Muslim or Christian. Each shares the intent of subjugating all peoples to their own beliefs throughout the world - not just from the synagogues, mosques, or churches, but through the political control of governments and terrorism! Pretty scary stuff with no indication of ‘turn the other cheek' or ‘love thine enemy'. .....and the show didn't indicate how any of these mass movements could be stopped or even controlled!

Of course basically, the fundamentalist movements with no remorse regarding bloodshed, revolve around the decadence of our secular freedoms which include rampant sex and pornography amongst other ‘liberal' permissions. I might agree with them on those points except that they also invoke almost prehistoric prohibitions against the rights of women or political and religious dissent, etc. Only someone who could be happy as cannon fodder in the military could tolerate such a life style!

I've been impressed by Christine Amanpour's journalism for several years now and after this documentary, I decided to look her up. She has not only a rather unique genealogy but has also led an interesting life as described at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiane_Amanpour – well worth reading.
