Ergun Caner and "Assistant Rabbi" Peter Hirsch
Ergun Caner has several times complained about a post-9/11 ecumenical prayer gathering (sorry, I don’t have the speeches and timestamps available). I think that’s why I was surprised to read an account from the Fort-Worth Star Telegram (apparently dated May 3, 2002), reporting Caner’s participation in a National Day of Prayer group event (link to…

Ergun Caner at SBTS – November 13, 2003
We previously reviewed Dr. Caner’s comments on a panel with Mohler at SBTS on November 14, 2003 (link), but somehow we did not review his solo comments from the day before (link to mp3 – link to page for event). He presented a message he titled “The Gospel According to Oprah,” which we’ve heard elsewhere.…

Ergun Caner – Ohio Free Will Baptists – Men's Retreat Early 2007
A number of recordings of Ergun Caner have been removed the Internet, including four or so from an early 2007 Men’s Retreat of the Ohio Free Will Baptists, featuring Ergun Caner. An amalgamation of several clips from these messages is apparently preserved over at FBC Jax Watchdogs (link) and is also discussed at A Squirrel…

Ergun Caner – Janet Parshall's "Talking it Over" – January 10, 2009
Moody Audio has posted audio from Janet Parshall’s “Talking It Over” show, featuring Ergun Caner as the guest (link to page for audio). It apparently aired and/or was recorded on Saturday, January 10, 2009. All times are approximate 5:10 “I had a gentleman in a debate say that I must have had a mercy bypass.” I…

"Many Wives" or "Other Wives" vs. "Two Wives" – Norman Geisler's Indefensible Defense of Caner
In his so-called apology, Ergun Caner claimed “I have never intentionally misled anyone.” I don’t see how to reconcile that claim with the many times (not just one or two times) that Caner has described his father as having “many wives” or “other wives.” How was that not intended to mislead the listeners? Recall that…

Ergun Caner in The Master's Pulpit – Spring 2003
Ergun Caner in The Master’s Pulpit – Spring 2003 (apparently April 2, 2003) All times approximate: (0:15) “Many of the misconceptions that we have, who are foreigners, about America, is we thought all of America was going to be like California. I will explain a little more as we go. My full name is Ergun…

Caner's Father – An Architect who "Came to Build Mosques"?
In describing his father, Ergun Caner has repeatedly referred to him as an “architect” and claimed he came to America to “build mosques.” I doubt this account for a number of reasons. First, Acar Caner’s death certificate lists his occupation as “engineer.” Unfortunately, this certificate has not been posted on-line. Second, the Turkish article we…

The "We Dressed Differently" Claim
Dr. Ergun Caner has sometimes claimed that he “dressed differently” than typical Americans back when, as a young boy, he was allegedly a devout Muslim. One reason to question this claim is the photo of his father in front of the Islamic Center that he supposedly “built.” Someone dressed as an imam is near the…

"Rip the Roof Off" – Ergun Caner 2010
Some time in 2010, Dr. Caner preached a sermon titled “Rip the Roof Off,” at Bell Shoals. One interesting thing about this sermon is that it appears to be more like the cleaned up testimony we will see in some of the post-2010 sermons, but the description posted with the video still reflects the pre-2010…
