Islamic movement

Despite being outlawed and having its leader, Raed Salah, jailed, the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement remains popular and appears to function much as before.

The radical preacher wrote a post on Facebook Monday announcing that he renounces Jerusalem's affiliation with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force.

“I go to jail because of the will of God and not the will of [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu. It is an honor to me,” he said.

Salah was convicted for a sermon he had delivered in 2007, in which he was accused of inciting racism and violence.

"What I fear the most is that they have further aspirations beyond just praying on Temple Mount and making the Passover sacrifice. I fear that their plans are more dangerous," Salah said.

New party members come from the academic ‘hard core’ of the Islamic Movement at the Center for Contemporary Studies in Umm el-Fahm, expert tells 'Post.'

The government has accused Saleh of being instrumental in fomenting the violence that began last October by circulating the false rumor that Israel was endangering the Al Aksa mosque.

Chance of agreement being destroyed by Balad and the Islamic Movement.

In interview, Dr. Kevin Barrett asserted that the current rash of terror attacks were not perpetrated by Islamists, rather carried out as "false-flag" operations.
