#1 The difference between being a sheep and being a sheepdog. We know how most of humanity prefers the status of sheep. Humanity depends upon sheepdogs to live above anything but existance.

#2 Indeed, Creans Slung1766. And those of us sheep who have any intelligence appreciate the sheepdogs who stand between us and the wolves.

#3 I have little pity for these two asswipes either. If you have listened to their comments over the past days, in trying to justify their actions, they have actually incrimintaed themselves. Anytime any of these halfwits venture into the enemy camp, just what do they expect ? If they get captured, shot, blown to bits, whose fault is it? We don't need any sympathy stories on these poor Paleo f**k turds. We'd be far better off if we never heard them mentioned.

#4 I'm not sure what Centanni or Olaf's personal spiritual convictions were before their kidnapping. Personnally I'm glad not to have been in their shoes. Though I'm sure I'd of been toast either way. If those journalists were devout Christians/Jews or agnostics or atheists I have no idea. If the former then they are not courageous by that standard. If either one of them recognized Jesus as their personal savior then the author is quite correct. I've no idea what they believed prior to their kidnapping. If they had no conviction in organized judeo/christian beliefs then it's debatable. Either way, I could care less what they did except for trying to tell everyone afterward how much they still respect islam - that was extremely weak imho. Hell, if I was in their situation I may have said, "sure dude, I'm a muslim, and my new name is abu baba lu or ali hajji sheik" (NFL field goal kicker - mid 80s), then as soon as the dumbshits release me I publicly renounce that bullshit, piss on a koran, explain it's better to play on the stupidity of your enemy & live to fight another day - then I pick up my rifle and get back to work after those clowns.

#7 No one can know for certain how they would react if they were put in this sort of situation, but I can state with all my conviction that my muslim captors would have to tear me limb from limb and present me with my 'nads on a flaming platter before I'd EVER convert, even with my fingers crossed behind my back.

#8 The Italian was Fabrizio Quattrocchi - a very brave man.

I can't say what would happen if I were in that situation, but I like BH6's idea myself.
