Were Centanni and Olaf Wiig Held in a Mosque?

foxreporters1(2).JPGWe linked Ms. Underestimated’s post on the Centanni and Olaf interviews here. Here is one interesting tidbit from the interview. I recall that one description of their location was a “garage” or “house” the other day. A reader via email points out that in this Video at about 12:35 the call to prayer was very loud and they could hear praying right above them.

Interviewer: “Did they say anything to you at that point about who they were or what they wanted?

Wiig: “ …..The guy next to me said, “You Are going to hell.”

Centanni : “And I didn’t hear that, he [Wiig] told me this later.”

Interviewer: “They took you then to another house another place right?

Centanni: ”The beach camp was the transfer point, they took us to the first house. Olaf [Wiig] calls it a Mosque. There was a loud call to prayer that may have been coming from the same building and he heard prayers upstairs. But we wound up in the same room together in that first house the first night.

Those are conditions that would seem to indicate they were very near a Mosque if not within it. What this indicates is the very real possibility that local religious leaders were not only aware of their location but may have been actively involved of abetting the crime up to and including acting as a prison for the kidnappers. At the very least it’s an important clue as to where they were being held.

It seems the Centanni is dismissive of Olaf’s opinion and insists on calling it a house. If you ask me Olaf should be the reporter and Centanni should be behind the camera.

If they were using a Mosque or part of a Mosque compound it would be far from the first time that terrorists have done this. While you will hear the screaming about the misunderstanding of Islam that it condemns terrorism. And what was this incident really other than terrorism? It appears that the mosque's imam and worshipers are among those many misunderstanderers of Islam that we keep hearing about.

What? You say that I'm wrong, that Islam disapproves? Then show me. Arrest and punish those responsible publicly. I suppose about a 120 year prison sentence is fair enough. I'm waiting.

Hat Tip: Ansar al-Kuffar. Yes, that Ansar al-Kuffar.

1 Wow, that is a great catch. It wouldn't surprise me, since we know that they use mosques for armories.

2 Of course it was a mosque. It's all part of the big picture: NOTHING associated with islam is peaceful or innocent. Every single thing on this earth which is islamic is evil. Totally.

Either we stop them, or God will.

3 Has anyone considered selling the scrapped B-52's in the Davis-Monthan "Boneyard" to Israel? The Israelis could reverse engineer the necessary missing parts.

Gaza is just MADE for carpet bombing....

4 I heard the reference to the mosque as well. . .and totally agree that Olaf was far more precise than Steve in his telling of the ordeal .

Now, IIRC, the Centanni and Wiig interview included a juicy tidbit by Jennifer Griffin . While Jennifer sat surrounded by the "Dons of Gaza" at (8/25) Friday’s 2 a.m. meeting, Jennifer stated their investigation led them to the involvement of ONE family. When they disclosed this fact to the "Dons of Gaza" the dons became threatening. Jennifer also became quite anxious listening to the sound of an Israeli drone flying overhead.


One trusts this Israeli drone provided enough intel for conclusive action against each of the “Dons of Gaza" delegation. . . In sh'allah . . .

similar to this:

It appears the IDF has been busy Settling Accounts in Nablus (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1154525982033&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull).

God bless the IDF . . .more, more. Faster please.

5 Why not a mosque? Islam is a military and political organization as well as a religion, although not a religion in the Western sense. Islam, in short, is the most complete totalitarian ideology ever conceived, and must be eradicated, along with all of its adherents.

6 Could be a mosque, no doubt. But, consider this: I checked into a hotel late at night in Tanzania. Next morning at o-dark thirty, I was rudely awoken by the call to prayed from the mosque right next door. Third world countries will often use a hugely amplified PA system to broadcast the call to prayer. So, it could be that the mosque was somewhere within, say, 400 feet. In a crowded urban environment, not inconceivable.

Just saying Centani may be keeping a more open mind to the possibilities.

7 It could still be a garage and a mosque. It could also be acting as a goat farm and an outhouse. I have noticed in Islam, anything can be a mosque.

8 And, if you notice, they are barefoot. Tradition holds that you remove your footwear prior to entering a Mosque. I would say that they were held where the women usually are while the "men" are upstairs praying.

9 Islam is satanic. Satan is Allah.

10 This reminds me of an arguement I had with a muslim who tried to explain that the Koran didn't say to kill all infidels.

After a week of back and forth jabberin, and him quoting "Sura" this, and "Sura" that, it came down to this.

The Koran says not to kill needlessly. I would not be immediately killed. They would first allow me to see the light and convert to Islam. There are no forceful conversions.

But what would happen if I did not convert you ask?

He didn't answer, and never returned to post again.

Convert or die, great choices.
