Associated Baptist Press reports that the trustees of Brewton-Parker College in Mount Vernon Georgia have picked fake ex-Muslim terrorist Ergun Caner as president. ABP's Bob Allen writes: Controversy arose in 2010, when bloggers questioned written descriptions of Caner's academic credentials and apparent embellishments in recorded versions of his "Jihad to Jesus" testimony popular with evangelical audiences in the aftermath of 9/11.
"Jesus strapped a cross on his back so I wouldn't have to strap a bomb on mine," Caner said in a sermon at the Southern Baptist Convention pastors' conference in 2004. He preached in high-profile pulpits including First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Fla., and Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, claiming he came to America to do what the 9/11 terrorists did before being saved from a martyr's death by accepting Christ. |
