Sheikh Salah: Netanyahu wants to rebuild Temple

Leader of Islamic Movement's northern branch warns Muslim students at Haifa University that prime minister intends on completing plans from his first tenure. 'If they suggest we give up our holy sites, we would rather die and will welcome death,' he says.

Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the Islamic Movement's northern branch, spoke Wednesday afternoon in front of Muslim students at Haifa University and warned them that Benjamin Netanyahu was intending on completing his plan to gain control of the Temple Mount, which he said the prime minister had tried to do during his first tenure.

Some 150 Jewish students staged a protest in the area, equipped with Israel flags and drums. "This is not Tehran," they chanted towards Salah.

The Islamic leader, who was invited to speak by the IQRAA students' organization affiliated with his movement, briefed the students on the history of his movement and on the criminal proceedings taken against him and his people several years ago.

He noted that he had rejected the Shin Bet's offers to agree to concessions in Jerusalem. "We love life, our families, our homes and our children, but if they suggest that we give up our principles and holy sites, we would rather die and we will welcome death."

Salah claimed that the government continued constantly to dig tunnels under the Temple Mount and the al-Aqsa Mosque, and that Netanyahu was planning to complete during his current term what he did not complete during his first one – "to dig additional tunnels under al-Aqsa and rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount."

The Muslim students responded by chanting, "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is greater). At the same time, Jewish students clashed with the university's security officers. Police forces were also dispatched to the area but were no required to intervene.

Jewish students banned
The Jewish students were protesting against the event and the fact that the university only allowed Arab students to take part in it. A Haifa University official said that Salah had not been invited by the institution and that there was no legal way to prevent him from coming.

"The university has reservations about Sheikh Raed Salah's remarks, as made in the past, within the walls of other universities as well, but it cannot prevent him from speaking to students. The university hopes that the sheikh will not take advantage of this for incitement but will rather call for peace and coexistence."

University officials noted that they had reservations over the event and that they had managed to prevent Salah from visiting the place for several years, including on the recent Land Day, but that legal advice given to the university recently stated that it could no longer reject students' requests to have the Islamic leader lecture to them.

Addressing the Jewish students' claims, the university officials said that they were banned entry to the event so as not to disrupt public order. "In previous charged events as well, in which (Foreign Minister Avigdor) Lieberman and (former Defense Minister Shaul) Mofaz gave lectures, we banned the entry of Arab students," one of the officials said.

The Students' Union said in a statement that it condemned "any racist act which includes hatred and a desire to incite. We hope for coexistence, and such a speech and such a person creates provocations and disrupts the order within the university's walls. We will not sit idly by as such a serious incident takes place in our home."

The Union said its members had only found out about the events on Wednesday because the invitations were written in Arabic. They estimated that had they known about the event earlier, the number of protestors would have been much higher.

The Real Israel

Those people over there are not the real Jews. They are Edomites, and the Arabs are Ishmaelites. Edom is from Esau, Jacob's brother, and the Ishmaelites are from Ishmael, who is Jacob and Esau's uncle. Those are the people who are over there now. The true Israelites are still in captivity until the second coming of Yahweh. Yah said that Jerusalem would be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled, and the last time I checked I had to get a loan from a Gentile. That whole thing over there is deception of the people. Yah said that the holy land will bereave the nations, and that is exactly what is happening. The third temple they will build is for the Pope to sit in. I can go on and on.

Prophecy fulfilled

Israel will rebuild the temple as predicted, and it is in this temple that the antichrist will commit the abomination of the desolation as predicted in the bible

Soon the whole world will see that Israel are God's people and through them he will declare his glory by defeating their enemies, even against the most uneven odds.

I'm sure the battle will be much the same as in the time of gideon.

Israel Will Always Win

The Great God of Heaven promised Abraham that He would take care of him and his seed !! Though the Jews have been a very stiffed necked and rebelllious people; God still honors those of them who are good and not evil !! But the new world order luciferians want to destroy Israel so that the plan of God will not be fulfilled !! They are trying to also overthrow the Holy Bible and if they have to use the muslims they will !! Obama is caught in the middle of this war and he is being influenced by both the muslim heads and the new world order luciferians.

And on the Great Judgment Day; which is coming very soon God will plagues the Earth; and they will all have to give an account for their slaughtering millions who wouldn't take their Mark of the Beast Chip!! But there will be no pre-tribulation rapture KEITH !! The chosen ones of God have to prove if they are worthy to have heaven as their home becuase I have been studying Bible prophecy for 35 years now and God always delivers His Children while they are in tribulation and trouble!!

God delivered Daniel the prophet in the lions den; not out of the lions den!!
The 3 Hebrew men were thrown into the fiery oven; not kept from the fiery oven!!
Moses and the Children of Israel went through the Red Sea; not kept from the Red Sea!!
David fought and slew Goliath; he wasn't kept from fighting Goliath!!
The Angel of death smote all the Egyptians; but he passed right over the Children of Israels door post right next door!!

Sampson killed more of the Philistians as he was blind !! Not delivered from them !!
Gideons 300 slew thousands !! He didn't need thousands!! God delivers with few; not with many!!
And this last fact !! All of the original apostles except for the Apostle John; died as martyrs!! And millions more died for their faith by Nero and the Caesars, and even the wicked Catholic Church popes!! WHY DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE MUCH BETTER!! oH YES; THEY ALSO HAD JESUS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH!! So don't say, "Because we have Jesus!!""

3 Temple

When it is rebuilt, who will be the antichrist to go into the Holy of Holies Room, sit in there and declare himself god? Obama? We will soon see? : )

...

I see this as inciting hatred toward Israel. It seems like that the whole world is turning against Israel now, which is predicted in the HOLY BIBLE will happen in the Last Days. Not to worry, Israel, GOD has Covenant with you, he will destroy those who come against you just as he did in the days of old.
Hold on to your Faith and Pray.
