The AP has described the Islamic Movement as "Israel's largest Arab organization." Raed Salah is the leader of the "northern branch" in Umm al-Fahm, which, while it does not publicly call for the destruction of Israel, "denounces secular life and denies the legitimacy of Israel as a Jewish state."
From YNet News: "Salah: Caliph will sit in Jerusalem"
Head of the northern faction of the Islamic Movement Sheikh Raed Salah said Friday that "soon Jerusalem will be the capital of the new Muslim caliphate, and the caliph’s seat will be there."
Salah addressed an audience of 50,000 attending the Islamic Movement’s 11th annual rally in Umm al-Fahm. ...
Salah noted that history tells of many occasions in which the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem was occupied by foreign conquerors, but the occupiers left after a short time, and thus will also be the fate of the Israeli occupation.
The Israeli occupation will leave Jerusalem soon. It will happen sooner than is thought," Salah said at the rally, which was held under the slogan "Al-Aqsa endangered".
[...]
Salah declared that ideas to divide the site still exist, but he reassured his audience: "There are all sorts of plans to divide the al-Aqsa mosque but they will not succeed."
During his speech the sheikh called on Arab nations to provide financial support, whether with cash or with gold, to help save the mosque and Jerusalem. He even called for the establishment of a fund for the purpose.

The former mufti of Jerusalem Ekrima Sabri and the archbishop of the Greek-Orthodox church who is considered close to the Palestinian Authority also spoke at the rally. Secretary General of the Arab League Amr Musa also sent his blessings to the assembly.
"Al-Aqsa endangered"
Could the state of mosque disrepair by a sign that the God of the Holy Bible wants to see His holy temple rebuilt?
I'm no expert on end time prophecy, but does not the New Testament say that the anti-Christ will be in Jerusalem for a period of three years before the real owner comes back and throws the scoundral out?
Perhaps a Caliph will sit in Jerusalem -- the multiculturalist will love it; and the globalists are probably setting up trade agreements with him even as we speak in anticipation of the great event.
(Good heavens, might as well make a fast buck on the situation -- let's see, how much is a soul worth in the free market anyway?)
Nevertheless, I'll wager that the arrangement is short-lived!
Perhaps he is right; they may bury the people in the sitting position in Jerusalem.
Ahmadinejad recently said at a press conference that "Palestine shall be liberated soon". I have been saying Ahmadinejad is the anti christ. I saw the evil in the asshole on 60 minutes.
This is the great question of our time. Will Israel, (both the People and the Land), take rightful possession of the G-d of Israel's possession? When will it end the Muslim desecration of G-d's Holiest Place? The Muslim occupation of this Holy Site must end to finally dispel any doubt that the jihadis’ yearnings are hopeless.
If they got their own state, their beloved caliphate, how long would it be before they were in a full scale civil war? We are talking about Muslims, they are brutal psychopaths, one Muslim could start a fight in an empty room, imagine a whole country run with Sharia law, remember Afghanistan! Within months they will be begging for food because Muslims are too lazy to grow crops, they are too lazy to run an economy, they are too psychologically immature to run a country unaided!
Hi witness,
I invite you to read the materials on this website:
Al-Mahdi & Antichrist. In particular, read the article
Comparison of End Times In Christianity and Islam.
You should be able to see the parallels of al-Mahdi and Antichrist quite easily. And yes, Islam says that al-Mahdi will reign in Jerusalem. And the Bible also said that the Antichrist will reign in Jerusalem.
Take care.
this Ra'ad Salah was in jail for a year or so until some nitwits let him out. His every word is seditious and hate-ridden.
