As Pakistan's media has expanded in recent years, there's been a rise in Islamic preachers with popular TV call-in talk shows. And they've had their share of scandal. One famous TV host fled the country after embezzlement allegations. Others are accused of spewing hate speech.

Read (or listen to) it all.

Why is this man called a ‘televangelist’ when he is a Muslim? An evangelist proclaims the Chrisitan gospel. Is the author malign or just stupid?
