Great news indeed!!

Cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, and correspondent Steve Centanni, 60, were dropped off at Gaza City’s Beach Hotel by Palestinian security officials. A tearful Centanni briefly embraced a Palestinian journalist in the lobby, then rushed upstairs. Wiig walked into the lobby behind Centanni, briefly turned when someone pulled him by the arm and shouted “get off” before heading upstairs.

This follows on the heels of the just released tape showing the two in arab dress saying they had converted to Islam. To no ones surprise, the tape was coerced.

Centanni later told Fox News in a phone call from Gaza City that during his capture, he was held at times face down in a dark garage, tied up in painful positions, and that he and Wiig were forced at gunpoint to make statements, including that they had converted to Islam.

As a Christian, I’m confused regarding the “conversion”. Were Centanni and/or Wiig Christians before the kidnapping? If so, did they not denounce Jesus and the Christian faith by “embracing” Islam? How can they say they only did it under duress but were not sincere? What if all of the Christian martyrs thus far denounced Jesus when their lives were at stake, and then later claimed they “really didn’t mean it” and were “under duress?”
Don’t get me wrong. Of course I am grateful they are free and arrived home safely-but this topic still concerns me…Rush touched on it and it’s serious business.
