Kidnapped Fox reporters "convert to Islam" on video Sun Aug 27, 2006 5:20 AM EDT By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA (Reuters) - Two kidnapped journalists for the American Fox News Channel appeared on a new videotape released by their captors on Sunday in the Gaza Strip, saying they had converted to Islam. Palestinian Interior Minister Saeed Seyam said efforts were under way to secure the release of Fox correspondent Steve Centanni, a 60-year-old American, and New Zealand-born cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, within hours. Both journalists appeared to be in good health in the new video. They were seized on August 14...

From Centanni's interview with Shep Smith, it didn't sound to me like they were treated that well. I'm sure as more information comes out we'll learn more.

No; it sounded like they were worried for their lives, forbidden to talk with each other and treated roughly.

Listening to Steve's interview, he said he was forced at gunpoint to convert to Islam.

Isn't this their global plan?

If I converted to a religion under my own will I would not need to READ my testimony.

You really need to get on the horn to Roger Ailes and tell him to reign in his on-air personalities, who mention it every few minutes

Mention what every few minutes?

You really are irritable, as you mentioned before.

Listening to Amy Kellogg...she is parsing her words VERY carefully..she clearly still feels on the spot. Until they are OUT of Gaza I think they are holding their collective breath to a degree.

I am reading back through the thread and find some of the posts just unbelievable. It's my opinion that FOX continued to STRESS the word GUEST intentionally to remind the Palestinians what their own culture (supposedly) teaches them. It was all part of the plan to save the lives of these men.

Well, you do have to admit the biggest reason the Pali's weren't happy about this kidnapping is that it had no self-serving purpose. In fact, it hurt their "cause".

While it was a slight move forward to hear mosques around the world were praying for their release, I don't think it really means much in the long run if this was a kidnapping that would have furthered the cause of the Palestinian people, the condemnation would not have come.

Rarely break them out. I save them for the most special occasions.

Don Joe, I didn't know you were in the ARealMothersSonForever fan club? How cute! If you feel that the "coerced conversion" is an "integral" part of this story, why don't you make your own little thread about it. I'm sure I can think of at least three people who would love to join you there.

Right On.

The only people who believe that these guys "converted" to Islam are the ignorant savages that believe Al Jazeera.

Thankfully, there are only a few hundred million of them salted among the nations of the world.

*shudder*

Centanni mentioned a few times that he believed he was going to die. Not exactly what I would call being treated as "guests".

I shudder to think what these two actually were put through.

Conversion under gunpoint is not conversion.

No, it's not conversion. It was a smart move by these two in an attempt to ensure their own release. It's very possible they were told if they converted, condemned the actions of the West/Israel they would be let go.
