This is from Reuters? I am absolutely AMAZED at the quote marks in the title.
Sometimes I wonder how I would react if I were being held by those idiots. I'm fairly certain that if they gave me a pro-islam speech to make, I would try to slip in a few words like "bull***t" under my breath, maybe in Italian or Spanish. Steve Centanni speaks Italian I bet, he could have slipped in "merda". He must have known by that point that they wouldn't dare harm him. Not to criticize him of course; I know he was scared to death.
To: Hannibal Hamlin
How long will it take Reuters/AP etc to report Centanni's conversation with Shep Smith that they were forced at gunpoint to convert?

No sane human being with an IQ above my thigh measurement would convert to Islam without being threatened with death.

Forced or not, many Muslims will "count" the conversion as having been made. If you try to reject Islam after having publicly accepted it, you are an apostate and are subject to death. These guys should get away from the Middle East for their own protection.

I am going to buy a Koran today so I can wipe my ass every morning with a page of Mohammed's satanic bullshit.
Until the world is cleansed of that barbaric, pseudo-religious cult, there can be no piece.

I remember early in my miltary training, we had a lesson about what to do if we ever found ourselves in the hands of an enemy.
"Your first duty is to stay alive. Do what you have to, to stay alive."
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.

Well, there goes their ability to operate in Mohammeden countries.
Assuming they "converted" under duress, and have no intention of "being" Mohammeden, they will still be viewed as apostates and live under the death penalty if they recant their conversions.

Matthew 26:75 Immediately a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.
To: Hannibal Hamlin
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.

Wow, what a tribute to the Islam religion, that the only way they can get a Christian to convert is by gunpoint!
And no one should believe they actually converted.

They're on Fox now, meeting with the Palestinian PM. Plenty of forced smiles, it looks like.
I would come home, kiss the ground of the United States and never, ever leave again even to go as far as Canada or Mexico.
Since the kidnappers couldn't kill them, couldn't trade any prisoners for them, and couldn't get any money for them, a faux conversion to Islam is a way for them to save just a little face when releasing them.
To: Hannibal Hamlin
Forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint.
Sounds like a WAR CRIME...

I changed my name to Khaled. I have embraced Islam and say the word Allah," Centanni said
I would have changed mine to "Irving" or something, more original. Everybody in the NBA is named Khaled.

If they said the formula then, as far as Mohammedans of all varieties are concerned, they converted and if they show signs that they converted back upon release then they are apostate and their lives are forfeit. The sentence just may get carried out if they return to Saracen territory or even in the US of A if they are too public about their apostasy. That is a source of unease re: the schoolkids who are required to say the formula in school courses in California. As far as the paynim are concerned those kids now have death sentences on their heads if they show that they were insincere.

To: Hannibal Hamlin
The ONLY reason Islam even exists rather than being an absolutely forgotten criminal enterprise of the 700's is the practice of forced conversions of captured soldiers (in one example in Central Asis, 160,000 defeated soldiers after a fierce battle being told they would be immediately executed if they didn't "accept" Islam).
Islam itself has always been what Nazism would be if Hitler had only thought to claim he was doing everything in the name of some god.
