Fundamentalists in Tunisia: Saudi media

So I read this headline on Al-Arabiyya (Brian Whitaker's reliable source of news): that Rashid Ghannushi said that fundamentalists (usuliyyun) pose a danger to Tunisia.  I was rather surprised because Ghannushi himself is a fundamentalist leader.  So I read the story to learn that he said that "Salafite Jihadis" pose a danger to Tunisia.  Big difference but Al-Arabiyya (news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law) hates An-Nahda because it is a client of Qatar.
