Centanni and cameraman released after forced conversion to Islam

Kidnapped Fox News journalist Steve Centanni and his cameraman Olaf Wiig were released by their captors this morning in Gaza.

However...

From Fox News:

Both of the men were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint, Centanni said.

"We were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint," Centanni told FOX News. "Don't get me wrong here. I have the highest respect for Islam, and I learned a lot of good things about it, but it was something we felt we had to do because they had the guns, and we didn't know what the hell was going on."

Apologists for Islamic extremists such as CAIR like to quote this Qur'an verse:

Sura 2: 256. Let there be no compulsion in religion.

Although CAIR did call for the release of the two Fox News journalists, as of 12:15pm CDT they're silent on Centanni and Wiig's forced conversion.
