Anis Shorrosh

Anis Shorrosh (Arabic: أنيس شروش‎) was a Palestinian Evangelical Christian, who has published many books and has debated with the late Ahmad Deedat. Shorrosh was the translator of The True Furqan, which he said was intended to challenge the Quran. Shorrosh translated the book to English from Arabic.

Shorrosh served as pastor and evangelist in the Middle East from 1959-1966.

In 2008, he was arrested in Daphne, Alabama, and charged with first degree attempted arson for allegedly burning tax records of his religious organization in an attempt to set his building on fire.[2][3]
