I would define terrorists as savages with technology.

You may rethink that when you review the various divisions of the major religions.

I don't think the term "God's Warriors" is as narrow as Amanpour and CNN portray.

I was brought up a Protestant and call myself Christian because my morals are based on Christian values. I happen to believe a lot of Jewish laws are also valuable, but I do not go to church unless someone gets married or dies and neither does my husband or our sons. If we were ever faced with a terrible choice and our very existence depended on whether we defended those laws I guess you could call us "God's Warriors", but we are not "fundamentalists", "fanatics","Bible/Torah/Koran thumping Conservative Evangelicals" who want or expect others to "conform" to our way of thinking.

We, and many people just like us are in the background ready, willing and able to take up arms and defend our way of life if the need arises. IMO........along with our structured military, we would be the ones that would make the difference between winning and losing.

I guess you could call us Stealth Warriors. -gg-

So far CNN has focused on the very religious or the very secularist and not on the 95% of people who are not inclined to force others to "conform." I hope they do that some time during their presentation, but I doubt they will.

Like CNN, we understand that Radicalism sells.
