No. He didn't. He used the word defend to mean defending the use of Dante's work in such contexts (he used it when approaching Western audiences about the subject of morality).
I'm not going to argue about it, to me it's clear that he is trying to defend Dante's work (even though he disagrees with it) by basically saying "Well At least he didn't place Prophet Muhammad in the hell for false Prophets", as well as "The name Muhammad was metaphorical for an action and not really the Prophet " you are free to feel otherwise, it's him alone who will stand on the last day and answer concerning it.

Right now, what you said and what I said is technically the same thing. Whether he is defending it all, or defended parts of it... He never made it entirely clear that he completely disagrees with it, and he feels it to be wrong.. and My question is, WHY NOT? He could have easily said I do not agree with this part at all, neither in reality or metaphorically as a Muslim this is absolutely incorrect, and then he could have continued on talking about the book.

[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 But again his word defend for Dante came right after the commentary concerning the Location of the Prophet , so I don't see how you can say his defensive stance was anything other than for him trying to say that Dante wasn't as bad as he could have been.
