Gormless Norman says what I've been thinking, but couldn't find tactful words to say:
I can't get past this story.
Steve Centanni is a coward.
But Gormless Norman, what would you do if you were kidnapped, possibly tortured, and the only way you could escape was by pretending to convert to Islam?
Ok, maybe I would also take the cowardly way out. If I did so, I hope I would then be ashamed of myself. And I hope the society I came home to would recognize my behavior as cowardly.
Centanni took the cowardly way out. But there is no indication that he feels ashamed in any way of converting to Islam to save his precious skin, and there is no indication that our society retains any trace of the notion that this is cowardly behavior.
There's no indication our society even maintains the categories of "courageous" and "cowardly" any more.
Nobody is calling Centanni a coward, as far as I've seen. This says just about everything you need to know about the current war: Westerners would rather convert to Islam than die, because we value bare life above any transcendent idea or principle.
I'd love to hear what others have to say about this.
Here is what I would hope that I would do if I were in a similar situation.

- Fox Reporters Kidnapped In Gaza
I'm not sure if you've seen this yet, but FOX News reporter Steve Centanni and a cameraman were kidnapped in Gaza. What makes this scary is that the terrorists who kidnapped them could be more lethal to FOX correspondents than to ones from CNN...
- What Converted You To The Counter-jihad?
One of the best things about the Infidel Bloggers Alliance, so far, is hearing from those who are new to the counter-Jihad. We all have our stories about how, and when, we realized the enormity of the threat we are up against. For me, it was 9/11. And...
