From the original link:
"According to a TMLC press release: The Woods' daughter was forced to profess and to write out the Shahada in worksheets and quizzes. The Shahada is the Islamic Creed, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." For non-Muslims, reciting the statement is sufficient to convert one to Islam. Moreover, the second part of the statement, "Muhammad is the messenger of Allah," signifies the person has accepted Muhammad as their spiritual leader. The teenager was also required to memorize and recite the Five Pillars of Islam. "
Although one might take umbrage with having to memorize the five pillars if it wasn't in a historico-cultural context, simply saying the Shahada is mere words if you don't mean what they say. By writing it as an answer to a question in no way, shape or form converted the girl. How ridiculous to even hint that it did.
pro·fess verb 1. claim openly but often falsely that one has (a quality or feeling).
"he had professed his love for her" synonyms: declare, announce, proclaim, assert, state, affirm, avow, maintain, protest; 2.
affirm one's faith in or allegiance to (a religion or set of beliefs). "a people professing Christianity" synonyms: affirm one's faith in, affirm one's allegiance to, avow, confess
Words mean things, and stating that the child was "forced" to "profess" the Shahada is nothing but sensational bull####. The child may have recited and/or written the Shahada, but she in no way "professed" it.
