  • Possum Kill, North Carolina

    Ergun Caner: “My wife’s Dad is from Possum Kill, North Carolina.” (link to clip from start of show) One of the readers of this blog (a guy named “Dan”) alerted me to the fact that he tried to track down “Possum Kill, NC” on the map, and couldn’t do it. I tried to do the…

  • Ergun Caner, Rick and Bubba, and Daisy Duke: How LBTS Does Apologetics

    Ergun Caner was on the nationally broadcast “Rick and Bubba Show.” The name may sound a little backwoods to my urban readers, but Ergun Caner’s own web page makes a big deal about this show (link to discussion). This is touted on that link as being an example of how LU does apologetics: “As you…

  • New Biography for Caner

    There is a new biography of Ergun Caner posted at Liberty University’s website. It is only five sentences long, but two of the five sentences in the biography are troubling. The first troubling sentence is this: “Raised as a devout Sunni Muslim and the son of an Islamic leader, Caner came to faith in Jesus…

  • Ergun Caner – Son of a Devout Muslim Father

    Some new evidence regarding Ergun Caner’s background has come to light (link to evidence). The evidence appears to confirm the central point of my previous discussion (here) namely that Ergun Caner is a real ex-Muslim, the son of a devout Muslim father. While I do invite folks to compare the new evidence above with Caner’s…

  • Caner Materials

    Some folks have suggested that Ergun Caner’s critics are getting their material from a Muslim “hate site.” To those folks, I’d like to provide links to Ergun Caner himself speaking or writing, or to general or Baptist press reports of what he has said. UPDATE: November 2007 NW Baptist Convention (Number 1)(Number 2) Sermon: “The…

  • Response to "Fake Ex Muslims" – Part 3

    I’ve responded to the “Fake Ex Muslims” (FxM) site twice previously (first) and (second). This is the third response. I’ll address a few more issues and then respond to FxM’s responses to my previous section. 1. Insha-Allah or Al-Hamdolilah In one video that FxM has identified, Ergun Caner claims that Muslims say “Insha-Allah” (which I’d…

  • Ergun Caner: Raised by a devout Muslim Father

    The issues presently swirling around Ergun Caner have created a certain amount of lack of clarity. This post attempts to clarify some of the issues. Before saying more, I would like to point out that I’ve attempted (in three posts – link to first – link to second) to respond to over a dozen of…

  • Responding Again to "Fake Ex Muslims"

    In a previous post I had begun to defend Ergun Caner against the accusation that he is a “Fake Ex Muslim” (link to my previous post). This post will have two parts. First it will address several more of the “issues” that the Fake Ex Muslim (FxM) site has identified, and second it will provide…

  • Responding to "Fake Ex Muslims" Site Regarding Ergun Caner

    The “Fake Ex Muslims” (FxM) site has a page of “issues” that are identified with respect to Ergun Caner (link to page). I’d like to respond to a few of these “issues.” 1) Injeel means Angel? In one video that FxM has identified, Ergun Caner stumbles over the Arabic word for an evil spirit. The…

  • The Cost of What?

    My friend Dr. White posted a link earlier today to an article by Tim Rogers (link to article). The article is titled, “The Cost of Following Christ.” One might expect, then, that the article would explain someone’s struggle in view of persecution for being a Christian. What a surprise, then, when the article is mostly…
