"Having someone stand up to Israel will more than likely galvanize the politics of Israel towards at least more militarism."

The original Caliphate took a handful of geniuses to construct, with Suleiman, Saladin and Mehmet chief among them. Let us hope such men rise there now. Ottoman history knows that Suleiman formally denounced blood libel against the Jews and that Christians were relatively well-treated.
