The next logical step for the average MSM reporter is to stage their own kidnapping for the publicity.
I can see it easily happening with some of these losers.

"My biggest concern really is that as a result of what happened to us, foreign journalists will be discouraged from coming to tell the story and that would be a great tragedy for the people of Palestine," Wiig said. "You guys need us on the streets, and you need people to be aware of the story."Wrong, Wiig.
I've heard their damned story until I want to throw up from it. Truly, I liked the Palestinians a lot better back in the days when I didn't know so much about them.

Then they will remain hostages and victims.

I don't condemn them for what they did, and if they repent neither will God. But I hope and pray I would have the strength to die for my Lord before I repudiated His name.

Were they held against their will, did they have their lives threatened at gun point, were their families caused grief, were they stricken with fear? Would that make someone angry? I think yes to all of that.. and so they need to express their anger at those who caused it.. or they remain hostages to the fear instilled by terrorism and remain victims.

No conversion occurred under Christian or Jewish religions. However, under Islam, it is not about grace or faith, it is about submission. Submission to Allah if you believe, submission to Muslims if you don't.

"Then they forced us to convert to Islam at gunpoint," said Centanni. "I have the highest respect for Islam and learned a lot of very good things about it, but it was something we felt we had to do because they had guns and we didn't know what the hell was going on."
That works for me. It is between them and God. IIRC, Wiig's father is a minister. I am sure he can advise.

Submission to Allah if you believe, submission to Muslims if you don't. Unfortunately, too many Westerners don't realize that this is the fate that awaits them if they don't submit. They seem to have the belief that this can be negotiated away.
They need to realize that "It's the Islam, stupid!"

"Am i the only one who seems bothered that these guys haven't recanted their conversion? Have they? Did I miss it?"
Basically ... why are you bothered ?
In my own opinion ( and hopefully Gods ) since these guys were under duress it would not count anyway.
Islam itself says it's ok to deny your religion if you are under duress, and the people holding them know this.
From a professional point of view, why upset the cart now that they might be able to get some increased access out of it ? ... even if inside they think it's a crock ....
