Maybe I haven't been clear. They announced their conversion on videotape that was televised, for everyone to see. I think their conversion wasn't sincere, but that's not the point. I think you are smart to know that.
However, in the time since they made the tape (admittedly under duress,) my question is, why didn't they expose the terrorists for what they are and tell the world, after their freedom was secured, that their introduction to Islam was a sham and a false religion and they clearly renounce it?
Your explanation, which I know very well that they had a gun to their heads thus they renounced to Islam doesn't cut it in the Arab world. It looks like the terrorists won big time. Get it?
Good night. I'm playing tennis tomorrow.
The Arab world knows these "conversions" were phony too.
