al-Usaymee: Beware of Removing Extremism with Extremism

Shaykh Saaleh bin Abdillah al-Usaymee (Allah Preserve him)

Member of the Committee of Senior Scholars

Beware of repelling extremism affiliated with religion with extremism that eradicates religion. A corrupt medicine only increases the disease. 

The who doesn’t know what is falsehood will not recognize the truth. And if a weapon is in the hands of someone who doesn’t know, he will [undoubtedly] attack his ally, rather it could even kill the one holding it.
