#3 Christ's teachings instruct us not to hurt others, either in their convictions or their ideas, or any of their symbols - religious symbols

Guess the Coptic Pope never read the Christ's remarks about the Pharisees...

#5 Shenouda doesn't know Christ at all. He was not a weak, vascillating, milk toast, limp-wristed wimp who taught people not to offend anyone at all costs.

He did teach us to not offend whenever we can help it, but NEVER at the expense of the truth. His entire life was spent telling people the truth, which offended the vast majority. Eventually, this infuriated a world that did not want to hear the truth, to such an extent, that they nailed him to a cross in order to silence the voice that cut them so deeply.

There are really only 3 reactions to such truth. First, you can accept it. Second, you can pay it no mind, and go on with your life, defining truth as you see fit. Third, you can react violently to it, because you know it exposes you, and rather than change, you would rather do whatever is necessary to silence the criticism.

Over the last 2000 years, Christians have been killed in the most horrific ways imaginable for having committed only one crime: telling the truth.
