"I have the highest respect for Islam..."

Compulsion in religion?
"There is no compulsion in religion," says the Qur'an. "We were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint," says Steve Centanni, the Fox News correspondent who was kidnapped with cameraman Olaf Wiig. "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," he said.

You know...it is OK, news correspondents, to NOT have the highest respect for a religion that forces people to convert at gunpoint. Have we lost our minds?
