Should Shaykh Hamza really have to say that he disagrees with Dante and the contents of his work? He is a muslim, of course he disagrees. Mentioning that he rejects it is unecessary as it is expected and understood. If a person needs him to say such a thing, they obviously are not of the intellectual capacity where it is appropriate for them to critique the Shaykh. I disagree with a lot of things the Shaykh says, but really... scolding him for not saying "I do not agree with Dante putting our beloved Prophet in hellfire"...?

I'm not too sure that a Non Muslim would automatically assume that, and secondly even if they did assume that, I still think it would have been appropriate for him to say so, simply from the aspect of a Da'wah oppurtunity.

As for anyone elses intellectual capacity, Masha'a Allah, But I've already stated that I don't think he intended otherwise, however without explaining it at that particular time it still leaves a sour taste in some who love Rasool Allah

and could have been easily and simply avoided.
