So the Jerusalem Post reports on Sheikh Raid Salah, head of the Islamic Movement's northern branch. Among other things,

Salah also said that the day "was not far off" that Israeli rule over the Temple Mount would be thrown off, and Jerusalem would become the capital of a new Muslim caliphate.

According to Wikipedia, the caliph is "the title for the Islamic leader of the Ummah or community of Islam".

Even putting aside all the major controversy among Moslems surrounding the re-establishment of the Caliphate, does Salah really believe that the Moslem world would accept the renewed Caliphate in a Palestinian state?
