Ravi Zacharias — one of the foremost living Christian apologists who Glenn Beck believes may be “the C.S. Lewis of our day” — said Monday that Ivy League campuses are becoming more hostile to Christians than the Middle East.

“If you had asked me [which is more hostile, the Middle East or an Ivy League campus] even last year, I would have probably said, ‘Clearly the tension is greater in those parts of the world, because one wrong word and you don’t know whether you’d be boxed and sent back or what,’” Zacharias said on Glenn Beck’s radio program Monday. “But you know, our university campuses are getting pretty hostile, too. I was at an Ivy League school earlier this year and had to walk with security. Unbelievable.”

Zacharias expressed shock that there is such hostility towards Christians in America at a time when “tolerance is the buzz word.”
