MUMBAI:
Protestors who kill for their religious beliefs. "Patriot Pastors"
who seek to change American culture through the ballot box. Zealots
who target prime ministers and presidents with assassination for
"subverting God's will." Parents who reject science education
in conflict with their religious principles. Suicide martyrs who
are revered as iconic heroes. These are "God's Warriors"
of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. They see contemporary society
as corrupt and view themselves as the front line of defense in a
battle for cultural supremacy and political power. They are changing
the world.
 CNN
chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour journeyed
to eight countries over eight months to report for God's Warriors,
an exclusive global CNN documentary about the global phenomenon
of religious fervor upon politics, culture and public life . During
six hours broadcast over three consecutive nights, CNN will reveal
how "God's Warriors" want to bring religion back from
the periphery to the center of public life – and how far they
are willing to go to transform modern society.
God's
Warriors includes thought-provoking interviews with former U.S.
President Jimmy Carter; the late Rev. Jerry Falwell in his last
television interview; Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Muslim women's rights advocate;
Yehuda Etzion, a founder of the Israeli settlement movement; and
Israeli President Shimon Peres.
A companion
website to God's Warriors offers users show excerpts from the documentary,
an audio podcast and an exclusive video diary that goes behind-the-scenes.
This online content will be available at http://edition.cnn.com/godswarriorsopk
. The podcast will also be available for download from iTunes.
