Members‘Jihad for Jerusalem, not Syria’

Palestinian Authority (PA) Religious Affairs Minister Mahmoud Al-Habash has called on Islamist fighters to change their priorities for holy war in the Middle East.

COAT AND TIE A ‘civilized’ call for holy war

“Whoever wants resistance, whoever wants jihad, the direction for jihad is well-known and clear,” Al-Habash told the crowd at a PA-sponsored event. “Those who send young people to Syria or elsewhere to die for a misdirected cause must stop and understand that Jerusalem is still waiting. Jerusalem is the direction, Jerusalem is the address. I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t know this.”
