Kidnapped FoxNews Reporters Freed

FoxNews reporter Steve Centanni and his cameraman Olaf Wiig were finally released yesterday after two weeks of captiviety. While being held they were forced to state that they had converted to islam at gunpoint.

What I want to hear now is a fatwa that states their conversion is not valid being it was made under duress.
one of the important doctrines of Islam is "la ikraha fiddeen" (Qu'ran, 2:256), meaning "no compulsion (or coercion) in religion". They believe that this verse implies that no nation can coerce another nation or individuals to change their religion.


Without this ,their lives are endangered, being one who converts then "rejects" islam is appostate and is sentenced to death.
for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.'" 4:52:260
