How Should Christian Satellite Networks Evangelize to Muslims?

Jan. 10, 2013 - The "Innocence of Muslims" film that caused riots in Egypt last year has stimulated debate among Christian broadcasters about the right way to reach out to Muslims. Terence Ascott, CEO and founder of SAT-7, the evangelical satellite channel that airs broadcasts from Cairo to Beirut explains their policy:

"Exposing the faults of another person's belief system is best done face to face in love. To do it through a broadcast can often lead to a negative reaction by viewers, and... local Christians and churches then pay the price."

There are other broadcasters who use their satellite programs to expose Islamic error. The debate continues.
