Does anyone remember this priest?

[Debp]

Some years ago I heard of an Orthodox priest...I think he was Coptic.

He had a ministry of trying to reach Muslims with the good news of Jesus. I think he was often threatened for doing this.

Anyone remember his name or know about him?

No, that's not the priest.

I found him....he was declared "Islam's Public Enemy #1".....Zakaria Botros.

Zakaria Botros - Wikipedia

The following page is more interesting. He was jailed twice for preaching to Muslims. A life sentence was avoided if he would exile out of Egypt. A lot more interesting information here....

He even received an award from a conservative evangelical magazine.

Here is one fairly short video by Zakaria Botros.

I don't know but this older article says Al Qaeda put a bounty on his head.

In this article the priest says he loves Muslims but hates Islam.

The teachings of a Huntington Beach priest may have inspired the anti-Muslim filmmakers whose low-budget, inflammatory film “The Innocence of Muslims” at the hub of Mideast violence.

I'm not surprised Al Qaeda would do that.

Isa,Jesus, is a prophet in the Koran.

An Imam video on YouTube is railing against this priest. I don't speak Arabic but you can tell by the tenor he's not happy.
