Ergun Caner

Ergun Michael Caner is a SwedishAmerican academic, author, and Baptist minister, who became well known for his book, coauthored with his brother, on Islam and his claims that he was a devout Muslim trained as a terrorist, claims since disputed. He emigrated to the United States at age four and claimed to have converted to Christianity in the early 1980s.

Caner was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1966 to Acar, a Turkish national, and Monica, a Swede. He was the oldest of three brothers. Caner immigrated to the United States in 1969 with his parents, moving to Ohio. His parents divorced on April 14, 1978, but his father, through court order, initially established that the boys be raised in Islam. Caners mother Monica successfully fought against the provision in the divorce decree that the children be raised Muslim by making an appeal to the court on February 6, 1979. The court allowed Monicas petition that religious instruction be according to the desires of each parent while in their custody. Caner continues to contradict these facts in many of his lecture videos by providing conflicting statements.
