"We were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint," Centanni told FOX News. "Don't get me wrong here. I have the highest respect for Islam, and I learned a lot of good things about it, but it was something we felt we had to do because they had the guns, and we didn't know what the hell was going on."
Centanni's brother, Ken, spoke to FOX News directly after the news was released.
"It's just a tremendous amount of relief, overwhelming relief," he said.
Later Sunday, Centanni and Wiig appeared before reporters, then traveled to the Erez crossing into Israel to leave Gaza.
"I want to thank everybody. I am happy to be here. I hope that this never scares a single journalist away from coming to Gaza to cover the story because the Palestinian people are very beautiful and kind hearted," Centanni told reporters. "The world needs to know more about them. Don't be discouraged."
Am a nurse by trade, don't even know what a thread is! Just wanted to express my anger at the situation. Love reading my husbands and daughters FR posts and the web page. Thought it would be a good place to vent! Thanks for the info.
What we're on, this is a thread. Each snippet we put up is a post.
And this is THE best place to vent, because you're among the like-minded.
Caution: sometimes venting here, you'll find people start chiming in with "Yeah! Me too!" and providing their own examples, and then you find yourself even more steamed. But frustration loves company. :)
Great point!!!!
