Sheikh Salah calls to renew riots Saturday

After a day of riots and violence in Jerusalem over Israeli renovations near the Temple Mount, leaders of the Islamic Movement summoned its followers to Jerusalem to continue protesting until the construction is called off.

Sheikh Ra’ad Salah, head of the Islamic Movement’s northern branch, addressed a crowd of thousands in Nazareth Friday evening, saying, “Know that the Israeli establishment, which wants to conquer al-Aqsa, has already started to destroy part of the mosque.”

Israel claimed the construction work at the Mugrabi Gate near the Muslim holy site was aimed at shoring up a rickety bridge.

“A few days ago (Israel) started to destroy important and holy elements to the Muslim world, from the era of Salah a-Din,” Salah charged.

if israel never started the reconstruction/repair of the bridge, there would probably be cries that israel wants the muslims to fall off the rickety bridge and die.


and it is absolutely no coincidence that the sheikh is calling for the violence to begin on saturday, the jewish sabbath.
