Islam Conversion | National Geographic

for mayor it was really important to try
and get them to say me as a human being
and so would make it harder for them to
kill me if it did come to that point
sudden walaikum they were Muslim and
they were interested in what our
religious beliefs were Kristin yes I am
he said to become Muslim one day the
best thing that we could do but if you
don’t convert then the likelihood would
be that they would get a ransom for us
and then kill us wasn’t really a
decision that we had much option in we
don’t then they’re gonna kill us anyhow
I’ve told them we’re ready to convert
well I’ve been writing the Koran for
about three days
I was so underprepared we have to
convert or they’ll kill us I was
terrified that if it wasn’t convincing
what were the consequences for us being
found out this is a massive decision she
said well I’ve told them we can’t go
back on it now they’re gonna be here in
the next hour
if you convert and don’t have true
belief then you’re basically worse than
an infidel they believe that they have
the right to kill you in that situation
you’re never going to feel ready
we didn’t know what we’re doing
but I thought we were faking it then it
was potentially life-threatening I would
sort of do everything a few seconds
after then
I didn’t feel that we were convincing at
all
I felt like a complete fake
no Yardley Rosa and then after that we
were Muslim attending I got any ride a
sense of security from the conversion I
wasn’t really sure how long this Bluff
was gonna have to last for
