The Controversial Ministry of Fr. Zakaria

Fr. Zakaria is a Coptic priest who was kicked out of his country because of his ministry to Muslims. His satellite television program, “Truth Talk,” challenges Muslims to examine their beliefs. His style is very confrontational and, consequently, angers many Muslims. In fact, it is believed that some of the riots that happened during Ramadan in Alexandria last year began because of his broadcasts.

On the flip side, Zakaria’s ministry is very successful. Over 100,000 letters and e-mails have flooded the television station that airs Zakaria’s program. Most of these come from Muslims who want to know more about Christianity and Jesus.
