LOL.
So videotape him praising Jesus Christ, and broadcast it to the Muslim world.
Lying for Allah is okay, according to the eminent Islamic scholar Imam Ghazali, who wrote:
" When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible " (Ref: Ahmad Ibn Naqib al-Misri, The Reliance of the Traveller, translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller , Amana publications, 1997, section r8.2, page 745). Imam Ghazali does not say this without knowledge. He is basing his fatwa on the words and examples of the Prophet himself.
In one hadith we read that the prophet calls upon his followers to assassinate Ka’b ibn Ashraf, the chief of a Jewish tribe who was wary of Muhammad and tells them it is okay to tell a lie to deceive him. Bukhari, Volume 5, #369
The fact is that Muslims feel no pang of conscience to lie if that lie is said for Allah’s sake and his religion. If the lie is said for a good cause it is okay.
(...) Muhammad said: "Lying is wrong, *except in three things: the lie of a man to his wife to make her content with him; a lie to an enemy, for **war is deception; or a lie to settle trouble between people" (Ahmad, 6.459. H).
(...) *Islam is the only religion that implies in it's scriptures that it's ever permissible to lie.
(...) **any non Muslim land is considered Dar ul Harb a land of war
[lying to infidels]
In Shi'a Islamic as well as Druze tradition, Taqiyya (fear, guard against')[1] is the dispensation allowing believers to conceal their faith when under threat, persecution or compulsion. It is based on Qur'an verses 3:28 and 16:106 as well as hadith, tafsir literature, and juridical commentaries.[2] Some Sunnis assert that Taqiyya is an act of hypocrisy that serves to conceal the truth. According to them, Taqiyya constitutes a lack of faith and trust in God because the person who conceals his beliefs to spare himself from danger is fearful of humans, when he should be fearful of God only.

Will 60 minutes view this as some type of torture? That we imprisoned him and forced him to become a Christian?
Incredible if true, just incredible. Jesus can reach any heart, but to see it is just amazing. I am skeptical, but given the penalties for apostasy in Islam, I am also doubtful he is lying.
I’m a little skeptical too but let’s shout if from the rooftops and make sure all the muslims in the world hear about it.
He converted and I am the Tooth Fairy!
beautiful post
what a lovely holiday tree!
Converted to Christianity my rear end.
Are Muslims not supposed to lie, cheat and deceive infidels even if it means going against Islam (though in truth their hearts are still entirely with Islam)? (rhetorical question)
oh goodie...a new fatwa is gonna be announced!
Why do force feedings? Let them starve themselves to death.
I thought this was Scrappleface at first...
I’m skeptical he really has converted, but there’s no way I can know for sure. I hope he has, but I doubt it.
The Koran says it is not a sin to lie to the Infidels. Nuff said.
Ramzi Yousef was involved in the 1993 WTC bombing, not the 9/11 attacks.
