"I hate to think what would be going through my head if I got abducted, but I feel that if I converted under duress, I would be betraying my faith if not to God, then at least to the west."
What?
Haven't they by their conversion, forced or otherwise, justified the actions of their abductors? I wonder how many of the abductors' co-religionists felt a tinge of contentment that these two westerners "submitted".
