Не знам за мюсюлманите, ама май основно коптите не го харесват. Потърсих мнения за него в коптски сайтове и имаше доста крайни мнения за о. Закария. Дори настоящият коптски папа Шенуда III (1971- ) е заявявал, че богословските възгледи на въпросния отец не отговарят на учението на Коптската православна църква. На мен ми прилича на евангелистки пастор.

Някои интересни факти за отец Закария:


I wrote in this subject many months ago, and I will try to post again what I had said about that subject, I hope it would be the last time for all of us to deal with this issue.

1- The priest, you mentioned, was suspended by the Holy Synod of the Coptic Church under HH. Pope Shenouda III, for about eight and a half year from 1978 - 1987.

2- He left Egypt because he can not work as a priest, not because of political pressure as you incorrectly mentioned.

3- He was also suspended under the reposed HH. Pope Kyrolos V1 for a year.

4- He converted St. Mark Church in Misr Al-Gadeda to a Pentecostal institution to teach speaking in tongues and receiving the Holy Spirit by praying etc......

5- He is a protestant disguising as a Coptic priest.
His teaching is about instant salvation, without the need of Holy Mysteries, Baptism, Holy Communion,...or the need of work with faith for salvation.

6- He works with the protestant organization to undermine the role of the Coptic Church, which was the reason he was invited by protestant churches abroad. He lived through the support of the Protestant TV show.

7- As of why he is wearing Coptic priest uniform? I can tell you the fact that the Coptic Church can not enforce, outside of Egypt, on whom can or can not wear the Priestly uniform.

8- Bishop Souriel in Melbourne, Australia suspended him and the Coptic Church there has many problem with his followers.

9- He was suspended from Brighton, south England too.

10- The Dioceses of Los Angeles and New Jersey have lot of problems with this man.

11- He is not allowed to practise the Eucharist as a priest or tacking confession from people or any thing related to the Coptic Church.

12- Every Copt who respect and obey the Coptic Church, her teaching, her Holy Synod and HH. should not go to such meeting or listen to his followers.

As HH. says the blessing will abide on the son of obedience.
It is not recommended for the Copts to follow his teaching or his broadcast on T.V.
The Lord Jesus Christ never used a harsh or abusive style in criticizing other religions.

I may ask the moderator, if he kindly please can lock this thread, it is more than enough what said about that subject.
