I was a Muslim for half my life, until I was almost twenty. The only thing I ever learned about Christianity I learned from my Imam and the scholars in the mosque. Then when I began to be trained in Madras we heard even more about Christians, that they are our enemies. I would guess that the key word that we would call the Americans was the Crusaders.
Of course, Ergun became a Christian when he was 16. And learned about Christianity probably while living from the age of 3 in Ohio. One wonders where these "Madras" were that he heard about Christians.
Also in 2003 Caner went on the Lutheran radio program "Issues, etc." and told them that he heard the Gospel while growing up in Turkey because of their radio/tv/satellite ministry.
