Controversies Alhayat TV became controversial for content that is heavily critical of Islam and Muhammad. Its programs are much debated and sometimes the subject of angry criticism from Muslims who claim that Alhayat's content is biased and inaccurate. Zakaria Botros, a Coptic Orthodox Egyptian-born priest who was twice arrested by Arab authorities, is often cited for his bold tone and exposition of contradictions he perceives in Islam. In 2010, he was expelled from al-Hayat due to threats of violence from radical Muslims. Al-Azhar expressed concerns over the broadcasting of Alhayat TV, saying that the Coptic channel was offensive to Muslims and Islam.
