Uh-oh for the Christian Right. Ergun Caner removed as head of Liberty University seminary

[ck4829]

Liberty University announced today that Ergun Caner will no longer be dean of the university’s Baptist Theological Seminary.

After an investigation conducted by four members of Liberty’s Board of Trustees, the university said it found that Caner has made “factual statements that are self-contradictory” concerning “dates, names and places of residence.“ The statements included his description of being raised as a Muslim in Turkey, when documents indicate he moved to the United States at the age of 4.

His contract as dean of the seminary expires on June 30 and will not be renewed, according to a statement from LU.

Caner will continue to serve on the seminary’s faculty, as a professor.

Caner was part of the Christian Right's latest propaganda tactics, claim that he is an ex-Muslim terrorist but was saved by the power of Pat Robertson or whatever. He's not the only one, but good to see one face the consequences for his lies.
