Post The Orthodox Church and Islam

Hello

Since the Orthodox Church, especially the Coptic Orthodox Church, had the greatest interaction with Islam, I was wanting to know if any of you could provide a list of works by Orthodox Christian apologists who interacted and defended the beliefs of the Church against Islam?

I am aware of the writing of St. John of Damascus but I was curious as to whether or not any other Church Fathers or even recent Orthodox believers wrote against Islam?



Thanks

I am a student of Islam and plan to study it in detail.

However, *some* Muslim hostility toward Christians does perplex me.

I am currently researching and writing a paper on the topic of Muslim - Christian interaction in Egypt: Now and at the rise of Islam.

Do you have any sources you would like to share?

Sure, I have Readings in the Qur'an by Kenneth Cragg.

Although, I would be somewhat critical of certain assertion/claims made in the Qu'ran.

Father Zakaria Botros is a resigned Coptic preist. He is the most renowned critic of Islam, his TV shows are watched by millions around the world.

You can read more about him here:
Islam’s ‘Public Enemy #1’ by Raymond Ibrahim on National Review Online

He is a bit controversial, cause his public criticism of Islamic teachings embarrasses the Church. He resigned to save the Church the trouble his association of the Church causes.

He has a lot of writings and video taped TV shows where he targets soft spots of Islam.

I think , in Muslim countries you can find buildings and mosques with -religious archictecture- but none can be found in my area.

It is a shame the struggles of the coptics in Egypt. Even though the vast majority of egyptians have no ill will towards Christians, the small minority of extreamists can cause such hardship.
