The Shaykh’s advice to the Salafis to support the various Islamic movements against the attacks of the secularists.

The student: ... and I am on my mind ...
The Shaykh: Between Islam and secularism, in this situation, what the Muslim man who is zealous for Islam should do is come forward to clarify his position regarding some of the Islamic groups that have a slight or significant deviation from Islam. It is not appropriate to get into these details as long as all these Islamic groups are against the fierce secularist attack. There is no room here for someone to come and satisfy the anger of Muslims by saying, "These are Muslims, these are on the truth, these are slightly deviating from the truth, and these are significantly deviating from the truth." This is not the place for that, may Allah reward you. Now, there is an Islamic front with this and that and that, and another front without this and that. They are all a front of disbelief and misguidance; they all unite to fight Islam. So here, it is not appropriate for us to demand that this speaker show us his specific, precise position on all these Islamic groups. As they say, every occasion has its own speech. Exactly.
The questioner: Shaykh, we have accepted, for example, what you mentioned regarding the theory in Afghanistan ... .
The Shaykh: We say, O professor, may Allah guide you. We are saying that regarding what we hear here, as for the transmission, we said earlier that what I have looked into from al-Turabi’s words is that I have severely criticized him. The professor has looked into other things you heard earlier. That is enough for his criticism. But our point is that this man supports al-Turabi and makes him a fundamentalist in the Salafi sense. No, by Allah, no, by Allah. This statement does not indicate that. It is permissible for you or someone else to bring us a very clear statement saying that al-Turabi’s call is the call of the truth. It is permissible. I am not saying this is impossible, but here there is absolutely nothing of this, praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you.
The questioner: ... any Muslim, whatever he is, I mean.
The Shaykh: Ah, deviant.
The questioner: They describe him as an extremist.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: May Allah forgive me if I am mistaken, if Allah wills.
