I agree Centani is a coward; he's the example of the media in general.
I heard Sean Hannity defending Centani's mouthing off he'd converted to Islam.
It fits in the vein of George Bush saying we're all worshipping the same God; Bush is the same coward.
From a Christian perspective, any kind of confession of allegiance to a foreign god is strictly forbidden. The first centurty early church experienced this repeatedly.
Centani let's us know who he is along with Sean Hannity, George Bush, et. al.

Um...what would you do if someone had a gun trained at your heart or head? Was Centani a coward? Perhaps. But I wonder what any of us would do under these circumstances. We would like to think we would be brave enough to say no, we won't swear allegiance to Islam, but how many of us are or would be in that situation?
What do you mean by 'forbidden?'
Forbidden by man and religion, perhaps, but not by Christ. That's what's tricky about living in the Age of Grace. We're free to do anything we want. If we 'convert,' however, we shouldn't be surprised if Christ tells the Father, "I don't know him."
St. Peter denied Christ three times, and rumor has it that he still got into heaven.
If I had been in Centani's place, I would have converted to Islam in a New York minute. Wouldn't have given it a second thought because it was meaningless and God knows it. Steve Cenani need not concern himself with what you and other backbencher Christians fantasize as your reaction to the same circumstances he was facing. You who claim the ornamental armour of the self righteous make a mockery of Christianity. My life is important to me and I would not be easily inclined to toss it away to prove to the likes of you that I fit in the category of your version of martyr. God and I are on the same page about this. Trust me.
