Ramzi Yousefm (wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramzi_Yousef)), the convicted mastermind behind the first world trade center bombing, who is serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison in Colorado, and once said, "Yes, I am a terrorist, and proud of it as long as it is against the U.S. government," has converted to Christianity. ???

According to the Drudge (in case you don’t know I’ll tell you, the Drudge Report is less than perfect when it comes to early reports of rumors) they have information that the next episode of 60 Minutes to air this Sunday (Oct. 14), they are going to show that Ramzi Yousefm has converted to Christianity while in prison. link (http://www.drudgereport.com/flash6.htm)

If true, how will this be accepted by the hundreds people that have been his followers and comrades over the last few decades? Will they accept his conversion quietly and ignore it? Will they try to punish him with death because some people think that the punishment for Apostasy (converting out of Islam) is death. Will they attribute his conversion as brainwashing propaganda? Will it have any affect on dissuading would be terrorists in the making from following that course?

I would laugh so hard if this lead to his relaease. But I doubt America is really that bad.

Oh, that's great. Now he's a CHRISTIAN terrorist. The lefties all get an excuse to wail on Christianity now.

I don't.

Ramzi Yousefm (snip)has converted to Christianity. ???


Has he no shame....?

Like we ever needed an excuse. ;)

Meh, if he'd renounced religion completely I'd be interested. Anything less is just shades of grey from where I stand.

isn't that like deciding to have Pepsi over Coke :p

though I must confess I'm waiting to see evangelical streakers and such hanging around the prison

I don't.

I dunno... when Karla Faye Tucker converted to Christianity, Shrubya still executed her, (And mocked her about it, too) so I doubt this guy'll get a pardon for converting or anything.

Christian terrorists? They exist? :rolleyes:

Christian terrorists? They exist? :rolleyes:

No. Only teh M0513MZ are terrorists.

I'm a little surprised that nobody (yet) has voted the first option, thinking that he will be killed in prison.

My co-worker wants to vote for an option I didn't specify, he thinks the "Aryan Race Prison Gang" which has a lot of pull in the western state prisons will kill him now. They represent only 1% of the prison population but 24% of the prison murderers. I don't see it though, why would they kill him now? But I told him option 1 didn't specify it would be terrorist revenge killers but I was thinking of that when I wrote it.
