Here is my guess: Centanni and Wiig not only converted at gun point but they were also told that if they say anything bad about Islam or their captors their families would be killed. It is no different than when someone witnesses a mafia hit. When the authorities ask no one saw anything. These guys are scared for their families and their lives.

If so, I can't blame them. It is one more reason why all the bastards should be wiped out.

I agree with you completely. It also seems like Olaf is a nice, quiet guy who's used to being in the background both personally (his wife is a BBC reporter) and professionally as a cameraman. I doubt if anyone has ever cared what his political opinions were before, and coming on top of a traumatic two-week kidnapping, he is probably still in shock and not used to being the center of attention. Besides, if he can still honestly find any sympathy in his heart for the people who kidnapped him, then he is probably a better Christian than I am, and I would say that the forced conversion didn't take.

Then don't go on TV! Say very little. But don't go talking about how in your "heart" you are sympathetic. What junk.
