I have to agree with Lumen Gentleman - this article pushes a cause and point of view without enough respect for the facts. We are offered the contrast between the academic, remote, bullet-proof protected  and "contested" Benedict and Francis who is the exact opposite, the supporter and friend of (presumably not remote or academic) Muslim scholars and "nice" Muslim people and who can tell the long-suffering and discriminated-against Copts to be noble examples of forgiveness and positivist outlooks. Bold in deed but is anyone listening or challenged in their thinking by this simplification of the challenge that the world faces from two diametrically opposed faith-views of the world and of how we should live our lives?
