PA official: Jerusalem is only Islamic

"Director of the Religious Affairs department in Tubas, Sheikh Muhammad Jihad Al-Kilani ... emphasized that the occupation’s plans are doomed to failure, and that our [Palestinian] people, which is standing firm and carrying out Ribat (i.e., religious conflict/war in defense of Islamic land), will [continue to] stand firm, putting down roots in its land and clinging to its principles and the capital of its state, Jerusalem. He added that regardless of how hard the occupation tries, and what tools it uses, Jerusalem will continue to rebel against the erasing [of Arab identity], the Judaization... Maisar Al-Nabwani, Director of the General Directorate for Women’s Action [in the PA Ministry of Religious Affairs], emphasized in a speech she delivered in the Nablus district… that Jerusalem is a completely Islamic city."
