(MEMRI) In an interview with official PA TV on Oct. 17, 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." 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. Khatib: "Its time will come....The Prophet Muhammad said that the Islamic caliphate would encompass the Earth.... The whole world will become subordinated to the Islamic caliphate one day."
