"To the West, martyrdom has a really bad connotation because of suicide bombers who call themselves martyrs," she said. "Really, martyrdom is actually something that historically was quite noble

Call me closed-minded, I couldn't take this raving idiot seriously after this point.

In noting how girls at some BattleCry events are encouraged to wear long dresses, Amanpour asks the group's leader how it is different from the Taliban.

One is about modesty, and the other is about oppression.

One is encouraged; the other is inflicted.

I hope she gets that right.

Yeah, wait until the muslims find their Mahdi. Then Amanpour can write a good column about why she shouldn’t be decapitated.

"Really, martyrdom is actually something that historically was quite noble, because it was about standing up and rejecting tyranny, rejecting injustice and rejecting oppression and, if necessary, dying for that."

Killing innocents is not martyrdom. it's terrorism.

Christians point you to a Bible to teach modesty.

Muslims point a gun at you guarantee modesty.

Understand, Christianna?

“”I did come away with a sense that we - or those people who don’t want to see religion in politics and culture - if we don’t look into it and see what is going on, we’re in danger of missing it and not be able to react to it properly,” she said. “

No bias there. /sarcasm

Memo to Miss Amanapour — Politics and culture minus religion equals communism. That worked out really well for Russia.

I hope they did not leave out church of "Liberal Leftism" that prays to their own created god, and to his only prophets, Howard Dean, Michael Moore, and Hillery Clinton.

These Utopian Moonbats are bent on destroying America rather than letting the American people secure a more perfect Union.

CNN doing a story on Christians is akin to the SPCA and PETA writing a charming story telling the good things about eating meat.

Can any one say CNN IS BIASED.

"I'm not interested in drumming up false fears, or falsely allaying fears," CNN's chief international correspondent told The Associated Press by phone from France, where she added last-minute touches to the series. "I just want people to know what's going on."

If this statement had been made by a Christian 'fundamentalist', I'd be willing to bet they would be charged with 'proselytizing'.

Since when is fundamentalism a synonym for extreme?

I hate when they twist the language.

In 1910 the Presbyterian General Assembly, in response to some questions raised about the orthodoxy of some of the graduates of Union Theological Seminary, adopted a five-point declaration of “essential” doctrines. Summarized, these points were: (1) the inerrancy of Scripture, (2) the Virgin Birth of Christ, (3) his substitutionary atonement, (4) his bodily resurrection, and (5) the authenticity of the miracles. These five points . . . were not intended to be a creed or a definitive statement. Yet in the 1920s they became the “famous five points” that were the last rallying position before the spectacular collapse of the conservative party. Moreover, because of parallels to various other fundamentalist short creeds (and an historian’s error), they became the basis of what (with premillennialism substituted for the authenticity of the miracles) were long known as the “five points of fundamentalism.” (117)

Fundamentalism

Fundamentalism is a movement within U.S. Protestantism marked by twin commitments to revivalistic evangelism and to militant defense of traditional Protestant doctrines. By the end of World War I, a loose coalition of conservative Protestants had coalesced into a movement united in defending its evangelistic and missionary endeavors against theological, scientific, and philosophical “modernism.” The threatened doctrines had recently been identified in a collaborative twelve-volume series entitled

he Five Points were adopted by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 1910, as members of that denomination had its own debate of traditional vs. modern theology. The original Presbyterian “Five Fundamentals” were:
1) Divine inspiration and inerrancy of the Scriptures
2) Christ’s virgin birth
3) Christ’s substitutionary atonement
4) Christ’s bodily resurrection
5) Christ’s miracles

The Fundamentals (1910–1915). Battles over issues—most frequently biblical inerrancy (exemption from error), the virgin birth of Jesus, substitutionary atonement, bodily resurrection, and miracles—soon erupted within several leading denominations, principally among northern Baptists and Presbyterians. Many members separated from their churches to form new denominations committed to defending the fundamentals. Fundamentalists took their campaign into public education, where such organizations as the Anti-Evolution League lobbied state legislatures to prohibit the teaching of evolution in public schools. The former Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan led this effort, which culminated in his prosecution of the Dayton, Tennessee, teacher John T. Scopes, for teaching evolution. The Scopes trial of 1925 attracted national attention, and the ridicule of Bryan’s views during the trial by the defense lawyer, Clarence Darrow, helped to discredit fundamentalism.

AP, CNN, and Christiane Amanpour: all left-wingers! I already imagine the end product of what David Bauder is advertising here.

It’s a hit piece on all religion. The following is the trasncript of Amanpour’s interview with Larry King, lol. Unbelievable.
