But apparently that was good enough for the thugs that imprisoned them.

Unless they did convert in their beliefs, there was no genuine conversion.

I totally agree that the radical fundamentalist even violence promoting interpretations of Islam are not the whole of Islam. In addition to the hateful intolerant side, there is a tradition of tolerance, respect for learning, etc.

My concern is that it seems that the radical, fundamentalist version is growing and in a number of places its followers seem to be intimidating the more tolerant and peaceful Muslims.
