Re: conflict with Israel - I saw those posters for the Galata bridge protest saying "Bugün Emevi, yarın Aksa". This is obviously just bluster, even if Bilal was involved, but maybe such things are all part of the negotiation process.
Why assume it’s bluster? I think Palestinian statehood with greater control over key sites in Jerusalem is a serious objective for Islamist politics. It’a a long-term, perhaps intergenerational project, but there it is.
