CNN looks at religious fundamentalism in August

by Adam Finley, posted Jul 16th 2007 11:43AM

Christiane AmanpourGod's Warrior, a CNN documentary, will delve into the world of religious fundamentalism.

A lot has been said about religious fundamentalism in the United States, but CNN's doc, hosted by reporter Christiane Amanpour, has a wider scope, looking not only at Christian fundamentalism here at home, but Jewish and Islamic fundamentalism around the globe. The doc will also feature the final television interview of the late Jerry Falwell, who passed away back in May. The report will center on how certain groups wish to bring religion and politics together, and how this is happening everywhere in the world, not just the United States.

Other interviewees include Jimmy Carter; Noa Ben-Artzi, whose grandfather, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin, was assassinated by a Jewish fundamentalist; and Kamal el-Said Habib, a (now reformed) Islamic jihadist who helped in the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.

The six-hour documentary will air at 9:00 p.m. on August 21, 22 and 23.

that picture made me think it had something to do with janet street porter.

I'm wondering if anyone else notices the resemblance.

"...not just the United States."

Yeah, cause those darn militant Presbyterians are always blowing something up.
