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.

Yes, Fr. Zakarias Boutros's sermons are superb. I do not know much about him, but have heard his sermons online.

He is no longer part of the Church? Maybe he is just not in charge of any church, but i think he is still continuing his good work.

Some of his sermons can be found in youtube. Just do a search in google.

Have you seen this yet?

Muslim Clerics leave Islam and embrace Christ !
