Unveiling Islam: An Insider's Look at Muslim
Life and Beliefs
By Ergun and Emir Caner
Paperback, 248 pages
This is the compelling book which Dr. Jerry Vines
quoted at the Southern Baptist Convention, which caused a firestorm
of controversy in the liberal press and brought Muslim protesters
onto the floor of the convention. The Caner brothers, both respected
Baptist seminary professors and theologians, were raised as Sunni
Muslims and disowned by their father when they became Christians.
Their father never spoke to them again until he was on his deathbed,
and he died still rejecting the Savior his sons had found.
Had Ergun or Emir Caner converted to Christianity
in a Muslim country, they would have been executed, not just disowned.
This is one of the most interesting and knowledgeable books on
the subject of Islam I have read, because the authors were actually
brought up as observant Muslims and after their conversion to
Christianity became Biblical scholars and teachers.

CHRISTIAN VICTIMS GO UNNOTICED
Berenho Bugala and his wife Kidist lost their daughter Galila to
a Palestinian-Muslim suicide bomber on June 18th of this year. The
attack was on a city bus, just two stops from her home.
ARAFAT AND THE WEST BANK
Yasser Arafat did not return to the West Bank alone when he came
out of exile from Tunisia in 1994. Arafat had an entire army in
Tunisia, an army that had been chased out of Lebanon by Israel in
1982.
PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS
The news of the deadly terrorist attack on a civilian bus at Emmanuel
which killed eight came as I was having a traditional Palestinian
lunch with a small businessman just outside Bethlehem. The bombing
meant that the curfew lifted for a few hours that day would be imposed
once again for 24 hours a day.
CULTURE OF HATE
In Yasser Arafat's West Bank, children are taught to hate and kill
while they are in kindergarten. Cartoon shows on TV teach children
to stone Jews to death. Kids are dressed up in uniforms in the first
grade and given wooden rifles to parade in the school yard shouting
slogans of death.
ON MY LAST DAY, A NEW BOMBING
I was due to leave from my mission trip to the West Bank from the
Tel-Aviv airport on Thursday, July 18th. On Wednesday night there
was a double suicide bombing in Tel Aviv. Fortunately the two suicide
bombers loaded with explosives only managed to kill three people.
BACK IN AMERICA
On July 23rd the news media worldwide was shaking with rage at Israel
for killing women and children.
