There are a number of clips of the Caners' previous (before 2013) appearance(s) on the John Ankerberg show. It is unclear how this appearance will compare with the 2013 appearance in terms of the Caners' biographies/autobiographies. The following are some notes from those clips, with links to the clips. I'm not sure how much use these are, but I offer them more or less by way of an index for interested people, since it appears quite a few people are interested in the subject.
What is Christmas time like for a Muslim?
Ankerberg's question seems to assume that the Caners both came to America, when in fact Emir was born here. Emir does not clarify this in the clip.
Emir claims that they did not celebrate Christmas due to their father's protectiveness.

Former Muslim Testimony
Ergun claims that they did not have close friends, even in high school.
Ergun credits Jerry Tackett with being tenacious for years.
Ergun claims that walking into a church would "defile" him.
It is interesting to hear Emir claim that the verse in the Quran that says that "they did not crucify him" says that someone took his place. That's definitely a predominate Muslim interpretation of the verse, but it is not what the verse says.
Ergun claims that Shabir Ally would always ask in debate, "What does one man's death have to do with me?"

Emir claims that he and Ergun were disowned at separate times by their father.
Emir cites "Hadith, Volume 9, Number 57," but adds "of Bukhari's hadith."

What is the Influences on or of Mohammad?
Ergun treats the "Gospel of Barnabas" as being written "five centuries after any apostles have been on the planet." (In fact, it's a 14th century forgery, more than five centuries after Mohammad) Ergun claims that this development gives Mohammad credence.
