Thank God they escaped unharmed. It's nice to see some good news for a change.

Apparently their captors made them dress in Arabic-style robes, recite phrases from the Koran, and "convert to Islam". :doh Good thing they did, too. The Hamas government played a part in negotiating for their release, and will most llikely not be arresting the kidnappers.

They were forced to convert to Islam in their captivity, they were forced to say the Islamic declaration.

That is bad because? They're alive now aren't they? Unscathed? Unharmed?
