Kattya Solis ,   Texas, USA   (09.16.06)
First of all.. Salah reminds me of the Pope... Money Money and More Money... to supposedly help the world? He quotes that he wants 'funds" and he wants help from the arab countries to win back Jerusalem? Yeah right!!! What a looser he is..Look at all his people living in a premature dominant muslim world.. They win back Jerusalem and then what? It will just become another uncivilized muslim city like all the others..wake up muslims!!!

This is the part I like: "The sheikh expressed hope that the comment did not portray the official stance of the Catholic leadership. “I hope it was a slip of the tongue, because if it is not, his words are a direct call to the nations of Europe to stand behind President (George) Bush and Israel in their war against Islam,” he said. Of course that is what the Pope meant. He gets it. He learned that living under another Hitler would not be a good thing
65. #38 Jerusalem under Islam
AK   (09.16.06)
Uniformly described by visitors as a dirty little provincial town, that's the picture of Jerusalem under Islam. Never even made a provincial capital, by any of the Muslim rules, Jerusalem was none of the things you describe. When Europeans and Americans finally visited it in the beginning of the XIX century, we got a vivid description of the decrepit, falling- apart filthy town Jerusalem became. Holy to Muslims? Only when in Christian or Jewish hands, that is, otherwise Muslims had left it rotting for all those 1000 years, and that goes for the Jordanian rules who controlled the Old City until 1967.

69. BIBLE WARNINGS . . . FIRST GAZA . . . THEN JERUSALEM!
Craig Crawford ,   Laguna Niguel USA   (09.16.06)
1. FIRST, A PROPHETIC WARNING CONCERNING GAZA . . . (Zephaniah 2:1-5) God has issued a 'PLEA' and a terrible warning to the children of Israel AND to ALL people on Earth. Zephaniah 2:1-5 . . . "Gather yourselves together, Yes, gather together O undesirable nation (the nation who would willingly try to give Judah to her enemies) BEFORE the decree is issued, BEFORE the day passes like chaff, BEFORE the Lord's fierce anger comes upon you, BEFORE the Day of the Lord's Anger comes upon you! SEEK the Lord, all you meek of the Earth who have upheld His justice SEEK righteousness, SEEK humility. IT MAY BE THAT YOU WILL BE HIDDEN IN THE DAY OF THE LORD'S ANGER (The 'Apocalypse' ... 'The Time of Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble') THEN, God wants all in Israel and on Earth to know what will help trigger this fierce anger ... Gaza!!!   "FOR GAZA SHALL BE FORSAKEN, And Ashkelon desolate; They shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, And Ekron shall be uprooted. Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines (Palestinians): "I, GOD WILL DESTROY YOU; So there shall be no inhabitant." (Zephaniah 2:1-5) 2. THEN . . . JERUSALEM! "Behold, I (God) will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling [anger, fear] unto all the people [nations] round about . . ." (Zechariah 12:2) "And in That Day [the 'Day of the Lord' ... the coming 'Apocalypse'] I (GOD) WILL MAKE JERUSALEM A BURDENSOME STONE FOR ALL PEOPLE . . . " (Zechariah 12:3) Don’t miss this . . . God says HE is the One stirring things up! THEN . . . In Zechariah 14:2 and Zechariah 13:8-9 (as well as many other prophetic verses in the Bible) God warns what will then happen to Jerusalem and Israel . . . In these verses the BIBLE warns the 'city of Jerusalem will be taken' (and it will be brutal) ... and then the Bible warns 'two-thirds in the Land of Israel' will be 'cut-off' . . . WHY? The BIBLE warns it will be for their unbelief, their lack of faith in God and His Word ... AND for 'forsaking Gaza' (and Judah). 3. THE BIBLE ALSO WARNS THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD WILL BE JUDGED FOR COMING AGAINST ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM . . .  "Thus says the LORD of hosts:    Behold, disaster shall go forth from nation to nation ... And at That Day the slain of the LORD shall be from one end of the Earth    even to the other end of the Earth . . ." (Jeremiah 25:27-38) Please remember, the Bible ALSO promises the followers of Jesus-Yeshua, the promised Messiah, are 'NOT APPOINTED' to this coming time of 'God's Wrath' that will be 'poured out' upon 'the whole world' . . . The Kingdom of Heaven is available to every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world, no matter who they are, where they live, or what they have done. It is freely offered to any and all who will receive it. Simply learn of Jesus-Yeshua, the promised Messiah ... who first stepped forth from Eternity ... "from old, from everlasting" (see Micah 5:2) ... the Messiah, who first came to humble Himself before Israel (and the world) by willingly and lovingly offering His life (which 'was without spot or blemish') once and for all as the sacrificial 'Lamb of God' (the ultimate sin offering for both the children of Israel and for the whole world) ... EXACTLY as the prophets said He would ... We are also told He will one-day return in great power as the 'Lion of Judah'... and as 'KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS' ... Revelation 19:11-16. REMEMBER, NO MATTER HOW BAD THINGS GET ... THE BIBLE IS CLEAR ... ISRAEL (WITH HER MESSIAH) WINS!! Grace and Shalom, www.alphanewsdaily.com www.theprophecies.com

71. Salah: Caliph will sit in Jerusalem
RLG ,   Yakima Washington US   (09.16.06)
All muslims Jews & Chirstians need to read Ezekiel Chapters 36 thru 40 ..... G-d is the only one who will determine who will rule from jerusalem...and who won't ... Sheikh Raed Salah words will not influance it one way or the other

73. Islamic Prophecy
Prophecy ,   USA   (09.16.06)
Being a professor in religious studies, I know that according to the Islamic prophecies Jerusalem will be conquered in year 2022 on the hands of the muslims. To be exact, on the 7th of August 2022. That's only 16 years from now. So, hopefully we'll all be alive to see if that is true, or the musliums are just plain nuts.

Abdul ,   Egypt   (09.16.06)
For your Information, Islam dates back 1400 years, not 700. and, another fact, "The second-largest religion in the world after Christianity, Islam is also the fastest-growing religion. In the United States, for example, nearly 80 percent of the more than 1,200 mosques have been built in the past 12 years" coming from a CNN article.

Israel must never allow Jerusalem to be contaminated by the dark forces. Jerusalem must always remain the undivided, eternal Capital-City of Israel.

82. Read Blankley
Susan ,   Temple, USA   (09.16.06)
I highly suggest you read Tom Blankley's bestselling book, "The West's Last Chance: Will We Win the Clash of Civilizations?" It explains the current clash of cvilizations (Islamist vs. non-Islamist; Near East vs. West) from both a current and an historical perspective. Quite frankly, it's a scary scenario, especially with what's happening in Europe (and what seems to not be reported in the USA media).
83. Dome of the Rock
dabar_olam ,   Columbus, OH   (09.16.06)
The Dome of the Rock belongs to the Muslims, and they wan to have absolute control over it, so give it to them ... after it's moved to Iraq! The Temple Mount can be cleaned and prepared for a new Jewish Temple.
84. 30 Salaam,Montreal Canada: Who gave you that screwed Idea
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (09.16.06)
Stop posting crap and BS Another fact you have not learned - The term "Palestinian" is itself a masterful twisting of history. To portray themselves as indigenous, Arab settlers adopted the name of an ancient Mediterranean tribe, the Philistines ("Invaders" in Hebrew), that disappeared out over almost 3000 years ago. The connection between this tribe and modern day Arabs is nil. Romans, in order to conceal their shame and anger with rebellious regions, changed the references to Judea and Samaria by naming them Palestine. 1. Nationhood and Jerusalem - Israel became a nation in the 14th century B.C.E. Two thousand years before the rise of Islam. 2. Since 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion over the land for up to 1,000 years with a continuous Jewish presence in the land for the past 3,300 years. 3. The only Arab dominion since the Arab invasion and conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more than 22 years. 4. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem. 5. For over 3,000 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital and Arab leaders did not come to visit. 6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran. 7. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray facing Mecca (often with their backs toward Jerusalem). 8. In 1854, according to a report in the New York Tribune, Jews constituted two-thirds of the population of that holy city. 9. In 1867, Mark Twain took a tour of Palestine. This is how he described that land: A desolate country whose soil is rich enough but is given over wholly to weeds. A silent, mournful expanse. We never saw a human. 10. In 1882, official Ottoman Turk census figures showed that, in the entire Land of Israel, there were only 141 000 Muslims, both Arab and non-Arab. 11. A travel guide to Palestine and Syria was published in 1906 by Karl Baedeker; estimated the total population of Jerusalem at 60,000, of whom 7,000 were Muslims, 13,000 were Christians and 40,000 were Jews. 12. In 1922, with what was widely acknowledged as the illegal separation of Transjordan, the Jews were forbidden to settle on almost 77% of the Palestine, while Arab settlement went unrestricted and encouraged by British mandatory authority. Did you know that Saudi Arabia was not created until 1913, Lebanon until 1920? Iraq did not exist as a nation until 1932, Syria until 1941; the borders of Jordan were established in 1946 and Kuwait in 1961. Any of these nations that would say Israel is only a recent arrival would have to deny their own rights as recent arrivals as well. They did not exist as countries. They were all under the control of the Turks. Over 80% of the original British Mandate land was given to Arabs without population transfer of Arabs from the land designated for Jews.
85. WORLD MUST UNITE AGAINST ISLAM; KORAN'S HUMAN ORIGINS
Mark ,   Chicago, USA   (09.16.06)
Islam's goal as laid out in the Koran is to convert the entire world into Islam by sheer violence and terror and bring it under one Caliphate. If that happens, the world will be living under the most intolerant and violent regime ever and will revert to the dark ages. That is why all non- Muslims, including Christians, Jews, Hindus and atheists, must set aside their differences, unite and fight Islam, their biggest enemy. One of our strongest weapons is knowledge and educating Muslims. Muslims are taught from childhood in Madrassas and mosques that Islam was the religion chosen by Allah for ALL mankind and that people of other religions are inferior ('infidels') and forcibly converting them or killing them is jihad for which Allah would grant the jihadis and martyrs (shaheed) the highest possible reward: enternal paradise with rivers of wine and unending pleasure with 72 virgins. When 9/11 and other terrorists' families were questioned about the dead terrorist, the families replied that their shaheed relative was now enjoying paradise with 72 virgins. One father even remarked that he was 'jealous' of his shaheed son. They are constantly told that the Koran is the "word of Allah" and that Allah, himself, personally, has made the above promises, in Arabic. But the facts and reality are otherwise. For example, many reputed Islamic scholars discovered that Koran was actually written 200+ years after Mohammad's death. Mohammad was not educated and could not read or write and Arabic was not a written language at that time. The Koran is further replete with inconsistencies and contradictions and obvious historical and scientific errors. Archealogical evidence shows that Koranic verses on the old coins are not present in the modern versions. Incitements to violence and warfare promising women as rewards in heaven were later added into the Koran by warmongering tyrants who wanted to expand their kingdoms with the blood of desperate single young men, and therefore inserted these incitments to fight as Godly commands to force obedience at a time when people feared and revered Gods more than Kings. Michael Cook and Patricia Crone, two noted Islamic scholars, came to the conclusion that the Koran was written by several different writers. This is explained in a a well-written article entitled: 'Koran: A Work of Multiple Hands' published on the internet by Mr. Denis Giron. Another Islamic scholar, Luxemberg, found evidence that the reward for jihad in the old Koran was raisins (hoor) in paradise, not white virgins (hoori), and the latter came about due to a mistranslation in later editions, as reported in Newsweek (which led Pakistan to ban that issue) and in the New York Times in March 2002. Muslims and potential jihadis need to be educated about the true historical context and circumstances in which the original jihad commands were written and not lead young men into suicidal violence for a few raisins in heaven. Once Muslims realize that the Koran is a man-made hoax, and there are no 72 virgins in heaven on their death, they would realize that living is peace and harmony with all of God's creation is a better option than Jihad.

Craig, you got it right. Isn't it astonishing to see current events unfold. I've been hearing about these events since I was a little boy and....here they are. John 3:16 is for EVERYBODY. "Whosoever will may come."

Heard of the kings Saul, David, Solomon etcruled from Jerusalem......way before your islamic time .pagan romans, christian rome, etc.. ( thus called Palestine) .all conquerers numerous to mention. until the Brits took it from the turks (ottoman empire) then handed it back to the Jews, Balfour Declaration whom of may i remind many never left. Repect also Jerusalem as holy to many religions, but "if I forget thee oh Jerusalem" cut off my right hand" Now be grateful that Israel allows you to pray at ypur temple mount and respects your mosques. i dooubt if that would happen in any moslem country, oh then we have seen that respect haven't we!
89. #75 keren
Meggie A ,   N.IS   (09.16.06)
yes umm al-fahm (fukem) is in Israel in the Wadi Ara area, and due to this democracy this happens. I can't imagine what would happen to Jews living in moslem countries if they tried this sort of rally., even if they were citizens of that country, can you.?
90. #84 Gab - You must an illusionist - No facts what so ever!
Salaam ,   Canada   (09.16.06)
If you what you say about have rights to Palestine because they live in 5000 years ago well let me tell you the Jews also lived in the whole mideast region they were Jews in Iraq Yemen Iran. .etc. so is this mean Jewish state should be extended to whole region then? That’s wont make any sense. People come and go and Jews always neighbors Arabs and Muslim for thousands of years so your claim for Jewish state in Palestine is False! And Palestinians are the owners of the land and Your the Invaders who you fled Hitler! - Therefore Israel didn’t exist till 1948! Stop looking into History with one eye and Falsify facts to suite your needs!
