Excellent point!

Looks like a lot of macaca mouths dropped in to comment, if you really want to know. Maybe they have a friend from autoadmit they feel a need to defend. Have a nice day. ; )

It is the stated goal of EVERY Muslim that those who are not should become. It's in the Koran. Either one converts, pays jizya, or die (war). One cannot be a 'good Muslim' and believe otherwise, which is why I say that there are no moderate Muslims. That was the choice Steve Centanni was offered, and he chose to convert. Whether it was at gunpoint or not, he chose to convert. The history of Islam is the history of forced conversion at sword point. Centanni could have chosen jizya or death. He could have chosen not to say what he did about U.S. policy. In choosing to convert, Centanni follows in the footsteps of millions before him. For us in the West, something done under duress is legally invalid. When it comes to Islam, that logic does not operate. Instead, Centanni and Wiig, having publicly confessed Islam and Mohammed (piss be upon him) will wind up dead for recanting. Therefore, given the mindset of Muslims towards those who reject Islam, Centanni and Wiig would have been better accepting war because they will be killed anyway. I was not in his shoes, so I don't know what I would have done. Instead, having heard Centanni's statements about the "beautiful 'Palestinian' people," I wait to see how he will report news in that region. I hope that Roger Ailes removes him from that region.

"In choosing to convert....."

As if he had a choice in the matter. Were I abducted by Satanists and given the 'choice' to become one of them or die, I'd say, "Where're my horns?"

Words are empty things when they are forced from the will to live. They change nothing in the heat of the soul.

"To change your mind and to follow him who sets you right is to be nonetheless the free agent that you were before."
(Marcus Aurelius AD 121-80: Meditations

Change the word 'right' in the above quotation to 'free'.

Fundamental Islamists have no more grasp of what freedom and liberty and individualism means than we have of their belief that merely stating "I convert" actually means something. It's doublespeak and the joke's on them.

Yes. "In choosing to convert...." Even in captivity, Centanni had choice. He could not choose to get up and leave because captivity eliminates that choice; however, like Jill Carroll, he did have choice. Where Jill Carroll CHOSE to play the game, to dissemble, to delay and engage in other behaviors that allowed her to deny Islam, Steve Centanni—gun to his head—had three choices (convert, pay jizya, or die). Centanni CHOSE to convert, no doubt believing that the conversion was invalid because it was under duress. That is Western thinking.

The deadly joke is actually on Centanni and Wiig. We had better understand that Muslims are a people who do not comprehend that a thing done under compulsion is not valid; moreover, we need to get that Muslims are going to kill those who don't grasp that force and free will are synonymous in the eyes of Muslims.

One would hope that journalists would at least read the Koran to obtain some kind of insight into the world in which they venture. Had Centanni had a better or less romanticized perspective (that bit about telling the Palestinian story is pure romance) of the Islamic mindset, he might have made a different choice ... one that would not leave him open to a bullet from some Muslim who will see Centanni as an apostate to Islam.

We always have choice, whether in freedom or captivity. The difference is that in freedom, we are in control of the choices, or so we would like to think, whereas in captivity, our choices are circumscribed by our captors.

Shew. I just had an existential moment. I'm over it now.


The word 'moreover' always gets my panties in a wad, so you'll pardon me if I don't come off as more than a little sophomoric:

"moreover, we need to get that Muslims are going to kill those who don't grasp that force and free will are synonymous in the eyes of Muslims."

DUH.

And your point is?
