"Somehow I think if you have your face on mud with your hands painfully tied behind your back, it's not a real conversion."
True, but if that's all it takes to get you to speak out against your beliefs, do you really have a lot of faith? Doesn't it kinda show that your highest loyalty is to yourself moreso than to your God?
It's hard for any of us to say what we would do if we were in that situation. I certainly would not cast stones at the FNC reporters. I am not a theologian but I still think it's not a true conversion. If the Muslims have their way, we will all be faced with this decision at some point.
