‘Warriors’ examines zealots

Kevin Mcdonough United Feature Syndicate

Christiane Amanpour hosts “God’s Warriors” (6 p.m., CNN), a three-night examination of how religious zealots from the three major faiths have become a major political force in the United States, Israel and the Islamic world.

“Warrior” is divided into Judaism (tonight), Islam (Wednesday) and Christianity (Thursday), but there is plenty of overlap.

Tonight’s installment chronicles the rise of the religious-settlement movement in Israel. After Israel’s rapid victory in the 1967 Six-Day War, the isolated country was suddenly in the custody of a large Palestinian population in newly occupied territory.

The month of Diana retrospectives continues. “Special Investigations Unit: Growing Up Diana” (5 p.m., CNN) recalls the doomed princess’ fractured family and unhappy youth.

Director Kenneth Branagh adapts Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” (9 p.m., HBO) and moves the action and the Forest of Arden to 19th-century Japan.
