The words of Salman al-Oudah in a tape

The Shaykh : Yes, we heard the tape that Abu Yusuf mentioned to you about.
The tape: As for what follows, the title of this lecture is the reality of extremism. This topic has been dealt with extensively under various names, whether in lectures, lessons, or old and new books... The issue of Sudan, where Mufi, a correspondent for one of the American newspapers in the Middle East, says about one of the leaders of the front in Sudan that he is a unique Islamic theorist, but he is a fundamentalist opportunist who knows well how to exploit circumstances and use them to his advantage, and he is capable of adapting to reality. Note the wording: "capable of adapting to reality." And he is content with making peace with the regimes without abandoning his demands. Then he says that al-Turabi, who is the one intended by his previous statement, began teaching his students another form of Islamic fundamentalism that enables them to coexist with others and adapt to changes and developments, and spares them isolation, at a time when they adhere to the broad lines of his ideas. First, no one can praise al-Turabi or anyone else with better words than saying that he is a preserver of his principles and values, and yet he has the ability to adapt to circumstances, changes, and others, and a style of calm dialogue and discussion. This is the first point. And second, this is a testimony from a Western Christian man who, in most cases, harbors the enmity of Christians toward Muslims, and yet the man described him as someone who adapts to circumstances and is good at living with the situations. So how do newspapers like al-Sharq al-Awsat or others describe them as extremists, fundamentalists, and opportunists, as al-Sharq al-Awsat limited them?
