How very odd: the Islamic State, as all our leaders assure us, has nothing to do with Islam. And yet its central claim is that it has reestablished the caliphate, and somehow other Muslims outside the Islamic State seem to have the same aspiration. Why so many misunderstanders of Islam? Is John Kerry working on this problem?
“Israeli Islamist Leader Raed Salah: Jerusalem Will Be the Capital of the Global Caliphate,” MEMRI, November 7, 2014:
In a Friday sermon delivered in Nazareth, Sheik Raed Salah, head of the Islamic Movement in Israel, said: “Inshallah, Jerusalem will soon become the capital of the global Caliphate.” Salah further said: “I am confident that if the circumstances of the Muslims were as they should be, they would march to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in tens of millions.” The sermon was posted on the Internet on November 7, 2014.
Following are excerpts:
Raed Salah: There are people who are oppressors in this land, and there are people who are the worst oppressors in the land. The worst oppressors in the land, in the eyes of Allah, are those who prevent His name from being mentioned in His mosques, and who seek to destroy these mosques. These are the worst oppressors in the eyes of Allah.
Since the Israeli occupation is using its weapons, mobilizing its soldiers, and rallying its intelligence agencies, its horses, and its donkeys, in order to prevent the name of Allah being mentioned in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and since it is striving to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Israeli occupation is the worst oppressor in the land in the eyes of Allah.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque calls us. It calls out to every Muslim man and woman in the world. It calls out to every Arab man and woman in the world. It calls out to every Palestinian man and woman in the world.
I am confident that if the circumstances of the Muslims were as they should be, they would march to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in tens of millions, crossing all borders and overcoming all obstacles, and they would not be stopped even by nuclear bombs, until they arrived at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, liberated it, and prayed in gratitude for Allah Almighty.
But the current oppressive circumstances restrain the will of the Muslims, as well as the will of the Arabs, and even the will of some Palestinians. Glorious Gaza is currently under siege, as is the West Bank. So it all depends on our people [the Arab Israelis] – our men and women in blessed Jerusalem, in the Galilee, in the Triangle, in the Negev, and in the coastal cities of Acre, Haifa, Jaffa, Lod, and Ramla. We should shout from here, from Nazareth, and from Sakhnin, Umm Al-Fahm, Kafr Qassem, and Rahat…
We – men, women and children – should shout: We respond to your call, oh Al-Aqsa Mosque. We are coming to the place of the Prophet Muhammad’s nocturnal journey.

Inshallah, Jerusalem will soon become the capital of the global Caliphate. The Caliphate will spread justice throughout the land, after it was filled with injustice by America, the Zionist enterprise, the Batiniyya, reactionism, paganism, and the Crusaders.
Compassion is coming. Justice is coming. World peace is coming. Prosperity is coming. They will come with the imminent Caliphate, the capital of which will be blessed Jerusalem.

Why Jerusalem? Jerusalem was never important in the schemes of Islam. Baghdad, maybe. Possibly Damascus! Medina for sure. But certainly not Jerusalem.
Caliph Abd al Malik built the Dome of the Rock to replace the original Kaaba at Petra and create the state cult of Islam, but after that, virtually no Muslim went to Jerusalem to pray.
Raed Salah is no more than a melodrama queen.
albert says
The AL AQSA mosque has always been simply a provocation, as was the liar Mohammeds claim that he flew to Jerusalem on a winged horse, total bullshit.
Huck Folder says
mo’s wet dream.
terry says
Please correct me if I am wrong, but it never states that it was Jerusalem.
Christopher Mantei says
he is right, it will be.

… they would march to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in tens of millions, crossing all borders and overcoming all obstacles, and they would not be stopped even by nuclear bombs…
Why should the “Palestinians” get the prize of being the capital of the New Caliphate, with the mosque there as its capitol? What about Qom or Istanbul, or what about… Mecca? Are these places too holy for the daily business of running the caliphate and thereby the world? Are they to be only for the study and observance of the parts of Islam not connected to territorial hegemony?
But the current oppressive circumstances restrain the will of the Muslims…
Oppression is a strong word given that al-Aqsa sits atop the Temple. And before the Moslem preachers start up with the holy roller stuff about the mosque, they must declare whether it was built on that site as a statement of ascendancy over the Jews, or because it was a convenient construction site ready made with footings in the ground. Who are the oppressed ones?
dumbledoresarmy says
This vile thug raves about “compassion”, “Justice” and “world peace”.
But he’s using Islamspeak. What he actually means is that he dreams of seeing the entire planet and all seven billion humans upon it being forcibly subjected to the desolation and delusion of Islam; of all non-Muslim systems of law being replaced by the unlaw, the antilaw, the systematised sadism of the sharia, complete with beheadings, floggings, chopping off of hands and feet, crucifixions and stonings to death that we have been seeing in the region controlled by the Islamic State Muslim revivalists (and not only there). Oh yes, and no more pet dogs, no more music, no more representational art or sculpture, and an orgy of destruction of all non-Islamic artworks and sacred places.
“Justice” for him = Muslims rule the world, absolutely, and any surviving non-Muslims are Prey, to be trampled under foot, raped, robbed, enslaved (especially their little girls and young women, for the purposes of being used and abused as sex toys by the vile likes of himself) and periodically ritually murdered as sacrifices to infernal ‘allah’. That’s what he thinks of as “world peace”.
He should not be living in Israel.
It’s time he was expelled. Drop him off on the beach in Yemen or Somalia. He can find his own way to Islamic State.

Dear Robert
The Muslims’ publicly declared agenda has never wavered for the last 1400 years: To SUBJUGATE or Convert all of humanity to the CULT belief system of Islam; the Cult of Muhammad under Sharia
Tragically, it is our overwhelming leaders in the West who are the worst enemies of the Judeo-Christian world ( I am not even including the Hindus & Buddhists, the would be VICTIMS of Islam also)
Another tragedy is the incredible lack of UNDERSTANDING how evil, insidious and devastating Islam is by the majority of the American & European peoples
I have read how you have lectured the highest echelons of the Military , Homeland Security & Intelligence leaders in the USA and YET they have failed to understand your message because had they done so, no Obama would have forced them to dissociate Terror from Islam
In Bukhari Hadith Muhammad allegedly flew by night from Mecca to the Temple of Solomon where he PRAYED at the head of ALL the previous prophets of the Bible in the year 622 AD
Somehow, only a few human beings are aware that this was an IMPOSSIBILITY because there was NO temple of Solomon standing in 622 AD having been destroyed by the Romans 550 years EARLIER!
Hence Muhammad LIED and his followers swallowed this egregious but blatant deception till today
I would like for any Muslim to prove me WRONG!

Tango Delta says
The same behavior they have exhibited for over 1400 years. Take something that never was theirs, build a pile of shit on it, declare it a ‘Holy Place’, (even though there is no connection what so ever to their Death Cult), then scream to the skies how they will defend it to the death (which I’m all for) There must be a loose HellFire sitting on rails somewhere that could become an ‘oopsie’ in the middle of the night.
Just call it an act of G_D,
Les says
Show me anywhere Anyone’ besides Mohammad has spoken of being in the presence of the deity called allah ? Only the false prophet had declared this name as a back up to justify Mohammad’s wild and controversial claims and outrageous laws to be followed as he robbed, raped, pillaged and murdered and while hiding in caves admitted that Satan himself gave him verses to be used in his Koran of ideologies of politics to destroy and eliminate all religious faiths of the world leaving Islam as the world religion of peace. More Piece than peace as that is when all others are killed then they see peace as the victory. The Koran gives Muslims the privilege to lie , cheat and deceive their enemies to procure victory. Killings rewarded by meals? virgins ? these are things Satan provided already here on earth! Compare the God of Judaeo Christian faith with that of Mohammad and his ‘allah’ and see which rewards you would desire or observe? Or compare the lives of Jesus and Mohammad and how virtuous their lifestyle was to a moral human being?
Gods vengeance toward Liars is mentioned in the last chapters of Revelation and ‘Satan’ the Liar from the beginning–and ‘the father of lies’ will burn in the Lake of fire and brimstone for eternity, along with all his followers of lies!

Jerusalem will be capital of global caliphate-
Before that ever happens Jerusalem will be in the center of a sea of glass spanning several continents.

‘Friday sermon by Israel-based Islamic supremacist Raed Salah: Jerusalem will be capital of global caliphate’
“Compassion is coming. Justice is coming. World peace is coming. Prosperity is coming. They will come with the imminent Caliphate, the capital of which will be blessed Jerusalem.” – said the Israeli Islamist Leader Raed Salah.
Wishful thinking that is!
Food for thought: For those of Faith intently affirm your Trust in God’s inspired Words; not by the rant of mortal men.
Here’s was what our Triune God has to say about HIS Jerusalem: The Restoration of Israel… Isaiah 49:19 “For your waste and desolate places and your destroyed land– Surely now you will be too cramped for the inhabitants, And those who swallowed you will be far away.”
Those who want the demise of Christianity; God continuously warns : Matthew 16:18 “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
—————————————————————
The gobbledygook spewed by this so called leader has been their call for world dominance without success. Through the centuries they have created chaos but to no avail. They have scaled the mountains, but always sliding back to the abyss…..HELL!
Islamism have been at it for 1400 years….with no constructive and/or productive evidence. Their rant has always a lot of content but no substance. In a sense they have hurt very their own….over and over! Their membership increases….not due to reverence, but to obtain immunity from danger to their own welfare. Let’s say they live in a state of perpetual duress……FEAR! They live with fear…..an ongoing Spiritual Warfare!
If they only would mentally affirmed their Faith to the TRUTHFUL God, their fears will vanish from their minds. Their FEARS are manifested by the devil’s motivational engine for ITS evil gain… this, explaining their cause of their aberrant behaviors. Satan is always behind their human secular intent! One’s good or bad intentions are embedded within our wonderful God’s gift, our minds, which we are all free to use reasonably or unreasonably……morally or immorally!
Our nemeses can be Free or held Captive……it’s their choice!
—————————————————————
The Shield of Faith: This is our proven Armor which we can use to suppress our enemies intentions: be advised!
“For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jepbtbab, of David and Samuel and the prophets – who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched raging fires, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.” – Hebrews 11:32-34
Edward says
Ooops! Typo error, sorry.
I wrote: In a sense they have hurt very their own….
It should have been: In a sense they have hurt their very own….
Tnx
