#1 "I was ordered to fight the people until they say there is no god but Allah, and his prophet Mohammed."
Here is the true heart of the religon of peace, yet the media and our elected officials still try to put the muslim wolf in sheeps clothing.
Steyn is a bright boy.

#2 sadly - there is no denying this. Even a moderate Muslim would have to agree that what Steyn writes here is true.

The real question is what are we - as a peaceful society going to do to stop them from coverting us all by the sword. "Fortunately" for Steve Centanni, he was not a Christian and he did not have to be concerned - he simply pretended to convert and came away with his life. He also didn't seem to mind that forever more the world will show video with him laughing and allowing Nasarallah, a brutal, evil, terrorist, to be his gracious benefactor. Eech. But for Christians and Jews who believe in their religion, pretending would not have been an option.

I'm not as critical of Centanni as I may sound. And I'm glad he's home. I'd like to think I'd be stronger than him and not willing to cave as he did - but I haven't been tested. I can only pray that God would give me great strength should I ever find myself in his position. I wish him (and Wiig) only the best.

#3 oops - it wasn't Nasarallah - it was the prime minister. But my point remains the same.

#4 Why don't we trumpet this way that korans in GitMo have been trumpeted?

"We were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint. Don't get me wrong here. I have the highest respect for Islam, and I learned a lot of good things about it."

like not to argue with a gun pointed at your head.....

#6 They should have had a frosty mug of lager ready for these two new converts when they finally got freed.

Wonder how much that Islamic tax is these days.

#7 --Christians and Muslims are both "people of the book." --

We are not people of their book, my people have many books.

That's using their language and it is wrong.

#8 "We were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint.

Islam is a really great religion, isn't it? The islamos have that in mind for us if nothing else works. Anyone in their right mind would run as fast as they can from that religion(?).

#10 It's shame these guys won't come out now and renounce their "conversion," adding a few personal thoughts about what it's like being kidnapped by the ROP and being told to convert at gunpoint. Perhaps they could say how they'd never believe in a religion that forces people under penalty of death. Perhaps they could say how any religion that asks its people to behave in such a way is simply perverted. Perhaps they could express their disgust with the depravity, and moral bankruptcy, of islam.

But they won't. sigh.

#11 PlanetDan, hell, if you just got away from some Islamonutz after being held hostage for a month, do you think you would immediately go and provoke them yet again? I wouldn't.

But it would be rather nice if someone else pointed out this forced conversion crap in the MSM (yeah, I can dream, can't I?), instead of the constant trumpeting of how some poor wittle Muslims are being humiliated by airport security....
