It goes without saying that only evil people would force someone to convert to their "faith" at gunpoint.

But I think this is all a formality. It was done, no doubt, to provide a way of saving face for the kidnappers. Now they can say, "well, we released them because they converted," even though their absurd demands were not met.

There are limits, of course - there may be information you can't reveal because the consequences would be too high. But those are exceptional circumstances.

As a Catholic I believe that denouncing Christ would be an exceptional circumstance for ME. Of course it's easy to say when I've not been in that kind of situation, but I pray that the Holy Spirit would be with me.

Transcript of Steve Centani “Allah” Video

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.

"Islam is not fascism."

Every day they prove it actually is by despicable actions like this.

No, this was a way to get Centanni and Wiig out of the middle east forever. They can never go back to report from Palestine again or their hotel bellboy or someone will slit their throats as apostates.

It also makes Abbas and Hamas look good in the eyes of the diplomats, since Abbas and Hamas supposedly "worked with the captors" to get them released.

It's a message to all Fox News reporters: "You will toe the line and report what we want the way AP and CNN do, or we'll exile you from the mideast forever on pain of death. Hell, once you're in our hands we might just kill you anyway, if we don't feel the need for a propaganda victory that week!"

Plus I should also point out that as apostates they are now under death sentences worldwide. Any muslim could wait outside the Fox News building for Centanni to come out and then blow him away.

These guys will have to watch over their shoulders for the rest of their lives, just like Salman Rushdie.

They gave them a choice.

Convert to Islam and make this video, or we cut your head off slowly.

It was a no-brainer.

Steve Centani, we do not blame you for telling these mosters what thay want to hear just so that you can stay alive. You are still a hero. We know that you will denounce them for the savages that they are once you are free.

"For your tagline: any physical baptism, infant or adult, does not make or break a Christian. Christians are saved by what Christ has done, not what they have done."

Exactly the point of my tagline, a certain church has grown it's membership for nearly two centuries by scarring parents into believing their child will go to hell if he/she isn't baptised!

I know that, but it's like the scorpion and the turtle crossing the river.... the MSM (not Fox) will play it just because it's Fox....(the scorpion said after he stung the turtle carrying him across the river keeping him from drowning...."I just couldn't help myself!".......)

I submit 'current' history has negated the 'famous' (I am not Muslim and do not have knowledge of them) passages from which you cite. If originally true, they have been subverted and perversed into a creed that is evil and cares nothing for innocent life that does not subscribe to their tenets -- at least according to the sub-human creatures that will behead another in front of a video camera.

No offense to you sir, but instead of being schooled in the historic Muslim texts, I would prefer current subscribers to Islam start identifying these maniacs and 'actively' assisting in their neutralization (peaceful or otherwise).

Words Steve Centanni was forced to say during his coerced and under duress conversion to islam:

"Islam forbids torture even of non-muslims. Muslim people belive in peace and they love brotherhood."

Please note, Centanni was forced to say these very words being videotaped with a gun to his head and they dare made him say:"Islam forbids torture even of non-muslims."

What MORE proof of these terrorists lies is needed to show that these terrorists scum are nothing more than sub-human waste????

"Please note, Centanni was forced to say these very words being videotaped with a gun to his head and they dare made him say:"Islam forbids torture even of non-muslims.""

"What MORE proof of these terrorists lies is needed....?"

I was thinking the same thing. This in-your-face contradiction is a huge victory in the WOT.

Many more people are more aware of the hypocrisy now.

"Since the kidnappers...couldn't get any money for them..."

Sorry, but I beg to differ. Although it will be kept an absolute secret, I believe Fox New paid the kidnappers a large sum for releasing these two men, whom they had to release anyway.
