In a May 2003 interview with NBC’s Tim Russert, the foreign policy adviser to the Saudi crown prince, Adel al-Jubeir, confirmed al-Sudais’s statements, agreed that they were “clearly not right,” and stated that he was reprimanded, but was still allowed to preach. He also said that “if he [Sudais] had a choice he would retract these words – he would not have said these words.”

In 2003, Sudais stated that he believes that youth need to be taught Islamic law, including the precepts of the prohibition on killing oneself and the prohibition against attacking non-Muslims living in Islamic countries. Sudais has also said that Islamic youth should not “indiscriminately hurl the label of atheism and not to confuse between legitimate jihad and…the terrorizing of peaceable people.”

The International Broadcasting Bureau also has reported the antisemitism of Sudais’s April 2002 sermon.
