I would have converted to save my life. Then I would have arranged a press conference from Israel upon release to see how many ways I could publicly insult Islam, and tell those who made me do it to go screw themselves.

I wouldn't have converted to save my life. I don't know how much torture I could take, but would take a bullet in the head.

Under those conditions? Is I was a news reporter and had been kidnapped? Not me, I'd "convert" in a second. I'd lie my ass off to these turds.

islam is a joke to me. I'd lie right back to them. I don't consider these devoids to be human and since there is no such thing as allah I'd have no problem pretending to embrace a cartoon.

This is all predicated on the news reporter scenerio. If islam had somehow taken over the US and the moslems put a gun to my head I'd probably do what you described that you would do. So, to make sure that never happens maybe we should decide that since islam is ant-American and in it's essence determined to overthrow the US we should outlaw it?

Dead men walking.

They'll never be able to go back to the ME, or be safe anywhere in the world. They converted, so to speak. In the twisted minds of Islam's adherents, if they repudiate their conversion, they're apostates and subject to execution for that repudiation of Islam.

God have mercy on their souls.

You think God wouldn't understand the human instinct for survival that He placed in us?

"He said Thank God we are free. He did not say thank Allah'

Steve Centanni now knows what many of us have known for quite a while...Allah = Satan.

You said it. Lies to fools are not what is in a mans heart. As an atheist, wouldn't you convert and then walk away saying "suckers"? If anything, these muzzies proved themselves fools by using a tactic they accuse the Crusaders of using.

At gunpoint it's quite understandable that Centanni 'converted' and I do understand the ongoing threat, but at this point I would have hoped Centanni would have the courage to say how much he and his family are ANGRY and OUTRAGED for being kidnapped and forced at gunpoint to convert to Islam.

"Don't get me wrong here. I have the highest respect for Islam, and I learned a lot of good things about it,...... "

Daniel Pearl learned about it too.

It wasn't very long ago when 'genocide' was the great evil of the world. Bosnia, Rwanda, I believe that the word was even thrown around with regard to Apartheid South Africa. To me, militant Islam is about genocide. Kill all Jews. Kill all Christians. Kill all Americans. Kill all Westerners. You can't get more genocidal than that. Yet one never hears the phrase "Genocidal Islamic terrorists".

Does anyone have any idea about what 'world opinion' would be if American forces in Iraq were forcing Iraqis to convert to Christianity, at gunpoint?

BRAVO!

My thoughts exactly.

This episode just sounded like another leftist, terrorist love-in. Let's eat semores and sing Kumbaya.

This is as much of a non-story as the stupid Barbaro crap.

Of course. I'd lie about something like that to save my life in an instant. These men weren't there trying to convert anyone to Christianity. They're news guys. Most of the famous Christian martyrs became so because they were spreading the Gospel and got killed for it.

If there were a Jesus, I'm quite sure he'd know what was in these guy's hearts. Who cares what they said. Even Peter denied Jesus three times after the crucifixion. Yet look what happened to him...

There's a lot of "look at how devout I am" posturing going on in these threads. Of course, none of those posting that stuff have a gun to their heads.

This may cause him problems with working in the middle east now. Once you repeat certain phrases related to Islam you are considered converted. If you denounce Islam after this the result is a death penalty.

Tolerance is a Western ideal, and the Islamists hate Western ideals.

Islam doesn't seek multiculturalism.

Their goal is monoculturalism: one world under Islam.

They are not at war for tolerance, but at war with tolerance.
