After all, he's already on record as saying that people have to convert to Islam when in prison,

What???? Somehow I missed that comment from Warren. If so (and I'm not doubting your truthfulness) then he is even more troubling that I thought, and I was already troubled by him.


From post 595 in this thread:

Here's a snip from that link:

In initial news reports, she failed to mention the methamphetamine she gave her captor. Also little publicized was Nichols' subsequent conversion to Islam. Despite Smith's admission, Warren said the drug had no effect on Nichols' decision to surrender himself. Instead, he said it was an example of how "God uses imperfect people." He said Nichols' conversion stemmed more from necessity – "You gotta convert to Islam if you're in a prison" – than belief.

Sounds like Warren was referring to the practice of self-preservation in that quote. Convert to islam or become a target.
