No refrence is made to Rasulullah or Ali by Hamza Yusuf when he is quoting from dante. he merely says dante is problematic for muslim or something to that effect "but we'll get to that later".

I'm not sure if we are on the same page or not, but he himself was talking about Dante when he said he wanted to defend him in relation to how Dante placed Prophet Muhammad

only in the part of hell that was reserved for those who caused division and not for those false Prophets, which means that Dante was showing him some respect. He later goes on to say that Dante didn't actually mean Muhammad

by the person, but rather it was just a name used to promote an idea.

and i'm sorry when you say "DEFEND" what are you saying. what are you implying that hamza yusuf was defending specifically. He used the word defend in relation to Dantes speech about where he placed Prophet Muhammad

did he not? Since he did, please tell me what you have understood from his word usage in the context that he used, perhaps I am mistaken.

Watch the second video down, from 9 minutes on. http://adoptingorthodoxy.wordpress.c...nte-alighieri/

Hamza Yusuf Said,

"[Speaking of the eighth circle] and then soars of scandals and schism. This is where unfortunately

for Muslims he has the Prophet Muhammad with Ali…now I want to… and I… you know… It is

difficult for me but I would like to defend a little bit Dante. Dante… Dante put him in… in… among
Hamza Yusuf, wasn't spending his time defending Dante (or i didn't really notice it). the speech was not a defense of Dante. I don't think it was either, but one sentence is enough when it comes to such a statement in regards to Rasool Allah
