What about Ustad Fethullah Gulen then? He is a madrasah-educated Islamic scholar and he is against incorporating evolutionary ideas into Islam in definite fashion too.

Ustad Fethullah Gulen has his oppinions, other Islamic scholars have theirs. What I posed was from a student of an Islamic scholar in Pakistan. There are also articles written by others that pretty well state that evolution is fine, so long as you acknowledge the creator in all things, and recoginze that Man is a special creation of Allah (swt).
There is a difference between incorporating evolutionary ideas into Islam (such as saying Islam should evolve) and recognizing that Allah (swt) is all powerful, evolution of life, especially animal life, is not impossible.
