Last evening a brother pointed me to a comment by Emir Caner posted on Twitter back on the 12th of May. I have included it in the graphic so as to document that it is clearly from Emir Caner, and also to note his re-tweeting of Hussein Wario’s article “Desperate Muslims and Ignoramus Christians” as well. This demonstrates Emir Caner

(Fixed the audio: YouTube and iMovie HD do not like each other, evidently, so I have to take a second very time consuming step to fix the problem. Hopefully this upload will work!)

Hussein Wario is a former Muslim. He has decided to take up not so much a defense of the Caners (he has, so far, only defended minor points—he has so far mainly ignored the legal documentation that has been provided and the issues that data raises) but to use the “attack the messenger” methodology of argumentation. In the process I

The Great Debate Series June 18th – 21st The Center for Religious Debate 11338 Ozga Road, Romulus MI 48174 Debates: $8 Each, $5 Student – For each debate or $15 Each, $10 Student – For All Debates Note: Debates are subject to changes and cancellations.

My friend David Wood provides an excellent example of the historical problem of Islam. I hope to be joining David on Jesus or Muhammad in June around the same time I debate a Shia Muslim Imam in the area, but as I noted a few days ago regarding the Christopher Hitchens debate, we need your help to make it happen.

I saw this article posted over at Answering Muslims, and wanted to make sure our readers saw it. Islamabad (AsiaNews) — A court in Kasur district, Punjab, convicted a Christian couple, Munir Masih and Ruqqiya Bibi, to 25 years in prison. According to the Centre for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS), judge Ajmal Hussein convicted the couple for touching

I just ran across this video, and I thought I’d post it while it is still available (it is as I post this, it might not be five minutes from now, you never know). Given how many times I have argued that Muhammad was not a prophet due to contradictions between the truth and the Qur’an, it would be very

Over at the “SBC Today” blog, Tim C. Guthrie is expressing his strong negative emotions regarding the disclosures that are being made about Ergun Caner’s autobiographical embellishments (link). Among a lot of other things, TCG wrote: “There is absolutely nothing new being brought to light concerning Dr. Ergun Caner.” and “How sad is the person who thinks that by doing

What happens when a monotheistic religion that rejects 1) the revelation of God in Christ and 2) lacks the heart-changing power of the gospel gains power over a culture? History gives us many examples. Today you can read about the atrocities of such combinations of false religion and political power on a daily basis, especially coming from the Islamic world.

   I was looking over the transcript of an interview between Pat Robertson and Ergun Caner from April 2, 2002 (that is the posting date; evidently the program would have been recorded earlier, perhaps in 2001). I have been sent many links of late from folks who have been digging into the elephant-like memory of the Internet. I ran across the

   I’ve been hearing rumblings on the net since I posted the “you don’t do Muslim prayers in bathrooms” article that, “Oh, but you can!” It is truly amazing the lengths to which folks are willing to go. I have seen people saying you can do so in your prison cell, for example. Wonderful. Ergun Caner was not in prison (no

   It does not take a Muslim scholar to figure out that saying any of the daily prayers in a bathroom would be forbidden. When I mentioned the idea to my wife yesterday, she immediately said, “What? Surely that isn’t allowed!” Given that my wife has never studied Islam, I can only assume it is a given that Islam would not

Islamabad (AsiaNews) – A court in Kasur district, Punjab, convicted a Christian couple, Munir Masih and Ruqqiya Bibi, to 25 years in prison. According to the Centre for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS), judge Ajmal Hussein convicted the couple for touching the Qur’an without washing their hands. Munir Masih and Ruqqiya Bibi were released on bail last January, but

Previous to my leaving for ministry in London, England, I was contacted by a Muslim who has invested a good deal of time documenting problems with the claims of Dr. Ergun Mehmet Caner, President of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. I had initially heard from this young man when I had put out a general call for information on how I

I have just returned to my hotel after a wonderful evening of debate at Trinity Road Chapel in London. We had a wonderful turn out for the debate between myself and Abdullah al Andalusi on the subject of the Christian and Islamic positions on the nature of God. Abdullah and I had engaged that topic on the Unbelievable Radio Program

A caller on the last DL asked about something I have noted a few times in the past regarding the text of the Qur’an. As it would take a while to type all of this out, I will address it on the DL on Tuesday instead. But for now, in fulfillment of my promise to provide the information, here it

You may have seen this new item today: As many as 50 Muslim villagers armed with clubs and axes recently attacked a showing of the ‘Jesus’ film near Sargodha, Pakistan, injuring three part-time evangelists and four Christians in attendance. Two of the evangelists were said to be seriously injured. The Muslim hardliners also damaged a movie projector, burned reels of

دار الحرب It is an Arabic phrase. It is pronounced “dar al harb.” Memorize it, because it explains why the Nigerian in the window seat is trying to blow you, and the nearly 300 other people with you on your international flight, to pieces as you descend into a major American city. Dar al-Harb means “the world of war.” It

Another clip from the London debates of 2008 (the video of which just arrived). Again, we are hoping to get the masters so we can fix the image sizing, annoying graphic, etc. But, the information is still there. Here is the “cross-fire” round (that’s what you do when you can’t really trust that cross-examination will be done properly).

Some of the London debates arrived yesterday. Well, sorta, anyway. We requested DV, unedited video, we got plain DVDs with a highly annoying graphic plastered on the screen. So, we have made inquiry as to how to get what we requested. But, till then, at least we have something! I have no idea why the shape of the shot is

Dan Wallace posted a very interesting article responding to this video wherein Walid Shoebat alleges that Codex Vaticanus (B) identifies the mark of the beast not as “666” (or 616 as some earlier manuscripts have) but instead an Arabic insertion “in the name of Allah” along with a symbol of crossed swords. I will not repeat Dan’s refutation here, but

I will probably be looking for help in this area in the not too distant future myself, but for the moment, my MacBook is fully functional (as you can see on the video I will be posting, Lord willing, by the morning, from here in St. Louis). But Sam Shamoun, a tireless producer of in-depth material on Islam, needs a

I have put together a YouTube playlist of the sixteen videos I have done providing response and refutation to what is promoted on The Deen Show. If you have Muslim friends, they might find the following to be of interest.

Here’s what happened. Last year another ministry offered to pay for the video taping of the debates I did in London. They had likewise taped the debates in Southern California earlier in the year, and in Durham with Zulfiqar Ali Shah. We have received two of the eight debates (both with Osama Abdullah). However, they took too much on, and

Update: New rendering that fixed the audio problems YouTube had in converting the video.
