He is an Israeli citizen who also practices Islam. Where is his counterpart in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi citizen who is also a Jew? Right next to the hens teeth and bigfoot.
What makes Kamal Khatib believe that Jerusalem will be the capitol of the caliphate? He must know something the rest of us do not. Could it have anything to do with Islamic doctrine?
Naah...it would be Islamophobic to point that out so, never mind.

Muslim leader in Israel: “Entire earth” will be “subordinate” to caliphate
In an interview with the official PA TV channel, Sheik Kamal Khatib, deputy leader of the Islamic Movement in Israel, said: “Jerusalem will not be only the capital of the Palestinian state, but also the capital of the coming righteous Islamic caliphate.” After he repeated his views several times and said that “the entire Earth” would “become subordinate to the Islamic caliphate one day”, PA TV cut the interview short.
Following are excerpts from the interview, which aired on October 17, 2014.
Interviewer: Let us first watch what you said at the Al-Aqsa Mosque this week.

Kamal Khatib: I have said it before, and I say it again: Allah willing, Jerusalem will not be only the capital of the Palestinian state, but also the capital of the coming righteous Islamic caliphate…
Crowd member: Say: “Allah Akbar!”
Crowd: Allah Akbar!

Interviewer: Sheik, we listened to what you said at Al-Aqsa earlier this week. You said that Jerusalem would be the capital of the Islamic caliphate. What caliphate are you talking about?!
Kamal Khatib: In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. First, I am proud to have said this at the gates of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, from the frontline trenches of defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and not on Facebook or other social media. I’m not good at constructing theories. I’m only good at field work. While talking about the future of Jerusalem, I emphasized that Jerusalem would be not only the capital of the Palestinian state, but the capital of the coming righteous Islamic caliphate as well.
Interviewer: This brings to mind the ISIS organization. It is ISIS that is calling for an Islamic caliphate in the current circumstance.
Kamal Khatib: This is a simpleton’s understanding of history. The term “Islamic caliphate” has existed for 1,300 years…
Interviewer: But throughout the history of Islam, Jerusalem has never been the center or capital of any Islamic caliphate. Cairo, Baghdad, Damascus, and other cities were caliphate capitals, but not Jerusalem.
Kamal Khatib: Its time will come.
