#2 I expect we may soon hear that four more infidels have seen the truth and embraced Allah and his Prophet whilst touring scenic Yemen.

#3 I thought that in Islam if you do something you wouldn't normally do because you are under duress that it doesn't count. Does that include converting to Islam?

#4 There's no free will in Islam, so there can be no duress. Problem solved.

#7 Fred I think these stories need AN ADVENTURE OF TINTIN GRAPHIC! I found this that could be edited for these stories see: http://ftp.cwi.nl/dik/strips/KUIFJE/gold.19a.jpg
I still remember reading some where that these people wanted to get kidnapped as part of an adventure vacation. The kidnappers took very good care of the hostages untill the neighbors returned the goats or whatever. Everything was hunky dory untill the Yemeni gov't tried a rescue one time and everyone was killed in the crossfire.
