CAIRO (AP) -- An al-Qaida offshoot in North Africa says it released a Spanish woman who spent 100 days as a hostage in Mauritania because she voluntarily converted to Islam.

In a statement posted on militant Web sites Friday, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb says Alicia Gamez adopted the Muslim name Aicha after being exposed to the teachings of Islam by her captors.

She and two male colleagues still being held captive worked as volunteers for an aid group called Barcelona Accion Solidaria.

Question for you theologians out there:

We know all about the martyrs who went to their deaths over the centuries rather than renouce Jesus.

What is the obligation of a Christian in a hostage situation if a false conversion will gain their release, and they can return to their true, Christian beliefs when they are safe? Will God forgive that?
