Since issuing a recent defense of Ergun Caner against his critics, a number of unjustified attacks have come to my attention. Many of them are just a rehash of old ones already answered with a futile attempt to prove his intent to embellish and deceive. Not one of these charges is substantial, involving any major doctrinal or moral issue. Nonetheless, since left unanswered they tend in the minds of some to imply moral guilt; a brief response to them will be helpful. It is charged that many times Caner embellished and deceived in that:
Ergun is an outspoken converted Muslim which in Muslim lands is a capital crime. Since this is contrary to law in the United States, his Muslim critics have resorted to character assassination instead. Unfortunately, other extremists who disagree with some of his theological views, have piled on and are kicking him while he is down.
My experience with Ergun, as that of those who know him well, is that he is a devout zealous believer who lives a life in obedience to Christ and who works diligently to extend his kingdom. It is a crying shame that other believers have jumped on a band-wagon which is discrediting this sincere, earnest, and faithful follower of Christ.
