THIS IS MY hastily typed Transcript of Steve Centani “Allah” Video. As I watched it, I could see that it had been heavily edited, the camera position jumps several times. I appears Steve had to repeat, re-read several sections until his captors were satisfied. It is very forced and stilted reading.
"My name is Steve, I am an American. After I entered Islam, I changed my name to Khaled.
I have embraced Islam and say the word Allah. The leader is the Prophet Mohammed. Peace be upon him.
Islam is not meant just for some people but , it is the true religion for all people in all times.
Westerners are following the wrong path and I hope they realize that uh, I hope they realize that and change their ways, I hope I can help them to do that, Insha allah.
Islam helps people to love mercy, brotherhood, equality and justice.
There is no justification for invading Afghanistan and bringing death, injury and suffering to innocent men, women and children.
There is no justice when USA invades Iraq and again, leaving death, injury and suffering in its wake,
the suffering of innocent men, women and children.
Allah knows and sees all of these injustices and according to the Koran, disbelivers will be cast into an eternal fire. But Allah also is ever merciful and the West can change its ways and turn to the purifying power of Islam. The Muslims are good people and have allah in their hearts. And, it’s an offense against Islam and against Allah when muslim people are imprisoned in Abu Ghraib and tortured in their. Islam forbids torture even of non-muslims. Muslim people belive in peace and they love brotherhood.
I have a message for President Bush as well. Islam is not fascism. Words like that only serve to deepen the great chasm between peoples, to fan the flames of anger and distrust that already burn in the Muslim world.
The West is seen as waging war on Islam, and these words, “Islamic fascists” only reconfirm that belief among many. Please President Bush, please Tony Blair, open your minds to Islam and bring peace to all people around the world.
The tape continues with Olaf Wiig…with the same kind of propaganda they were forced to read."
What a load of POO! These guys should have shut their mouths, rather than whimping out and handing these punks such a propaganda bonanza. This crap will be broadcast all over the world some things are worth more than physical freedom, like honor and faith in Christ. In contrast to their cowardice I offer the Italian who was faced with the same choice. His courageous response:
"Now you will see how an Italian dies"
They cut his head off BUT they gained absolutely NO propaganda value because he did not recant and "convert" under threat of pain of death.
Now these two "journalists" have lost their honor and credibility and when all is said and done they are STILL under an Islamic death penalty because they are Islamic apostates and we all know what the "wonderful" religion of Islam says about apostates: death to those who reject "the faith of Islam" after professing (in this case before the ENTIRE WORLD) that they have converted to Islam. These guys are going to be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives all so they could "get out of jail free".
Don't flame me, their videotaped statements are reprehensible. What ever happened to "death before dishonor?"
