We are being asked at this moment in history to convert to Islam. All of us. Americans at least. The "President of Iran" has asked us to convert. An "American" has recently appeared in a video asking the same thing. It's been known for quite a while that this is what terrorists want. It's long past time for me to say:
No, thanks.
It is, first of all, true that I wouldn't convert to Islam even if asked by people who don't threaten to kill me if I don't convert. If you hear me say those words of conversion out loud, you may certainly assume it's a conversion in the Steve Centanni sense; that is, it would be a false conversion at the point of a gun. I could not truly convert to Islam any more than Berenger could convert to pachyderm-ism.
Sorry, Messrs. Terrorists. Centanni's out and so am I and that's the way it'll stay.
