"God's Jewish Warriors" will be, of course, the Maccabees's. "God's Christian Warriors?" Watch for some "Crusader" comments. "God's Muslim Warriors?" Saladin. Possibly an explanation of "Jihad" as "personal struggle."

Maybe she will point out how very different the meaning of being a "warrior" is among these fundamental groups? "“God’s warriors” – who share a deep dissatisfaction with modern society, and a fierce determination to place God and religion back into daily life and to the seats of power. Their political and cultural struggles to save the world from what they view as secular materialism, greed and sexual corruption have caused anger, division and fear. “There are millions of people around the world who feel that their faith is being ignored – pushed aside – and they are certain they know how to make the world right,” Amanpour says. “We cannot and should not ignore them. And, with this report, we’ve tried to explain them.”" Seems like "warrior" doesn't presuppose violence, after all.
