The two Fox News staffers who were kidnapped in Gaza earlier this month were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint, according to news reports. Fox's Steve Centanni said on Wednesday that he didn't know if he was officially a Muslim"I don't know enough about Islam to know if it was official, or recognized." Well, is he a Muslim, or isn't he?

Be sure to
watch the video the kidnappers forced them to make. Have a look at the true face of Islam and its hypocritical evil core. Is there anyone still out there who doesn't realize we're at war with an entire religion?

Well, if he gets a membership card in the mail, it's official.
Otherwise, he just humored the terrorists.

To: van_erwin
YES! you are relly a MUSLIM insofar as all other Mohammedans are concerned. All that is required is to audibly repeat the formula. If you apostasize, renounce Islam, or show by your actions that you are still Christian/or- then you are under sentence of death and any Mohammedan with the opportunity is enjoined to carry out the sentence.

To: Ingtar
An Imam does not have to speak truth to an infidel if his position can be enhanced by lies.

Yes, millions of liberals and appeasers don't know.
Steve Centanni doesn't know... he thinks the Palis are "beautiful, gentle people."

To: van_erwin
well, if he gets abducted again, he can just say he is muslim and he gets a free "no head chop" pass. But then again, Muslims kill their own without thinking twice... I guess his odds are better now though.
As for me, please chop my head off sir... I am not converting...

No, true conversion occurs at the point of a
sword...

This is entirely what's wrong with an amoral, atheist society. Like Bill Clinton, the ethics and values are situational. A devout Christian wouldn't renounce Christ to save his own skin. However, our society is headed toward mass appeasement of tyranny with the Democrats leading the charge. When the missiles are aimed at us, what's to stop the non-grounded from reciting the Shihada to "save us" from war? Apparently nothing.

Get in an SUV and run over a lot of people. If the MSM ignores your killing spree, you are officially a Muslim.

I guess if you feel Islam is not a true religeon involving God but, by it's Koran and the actions of its adherents showing them more in tune with the devil, it wasn't a true conversion. However, Steve said something about how much he respects Islam, but that was when he was in the company of the muzzie leaders of Gaza. I would expect his ordeal wised him up as to the true nature of these savages, if he hadn't wised up already.

Bookmark for later so I can do just that! Any bets on whether it will be answered publicly?
