31. The Western Wall belongs to Muslims?
AK   (02.18.07)
But of cause. The whole world belongs to Muslims -- every muslims knows it. It's only us, silly kuffars, haven't figured it out yet . Read quran.
32. #20, the only thing yours is Arabia
AK   (02.18.07)
Everything else you have stolen.

AMEN!!!
34. the path to leadership
jul   (02.18.07)
Lying, regularly practicing violence and fomenting hatred is the normal path to leadership in the muslim world.

Peter Pan ,   Neverland   (02.18.07)
Hey amer, you and your fellow palestidiots all come from the same place as me!
36. My prayer is...
Roy Galut ,   Selah Washington USA   (02.18.07)
.....That G-d will make His presence Known on the Mount and show the nations that it is his mount to give and that he has already said thru His prophets in the old testament (torah ,writings and the prophets) who will be the preist to the nations.. It is G-ds to Give ...it is not Sheik Salahs to give Israel needs to pray for Eliyah (Elijah) to come...
37. From1948 to 1967
Joe ,   NZ   (02.18.07)
When Jordan had control over the Western Wall what was the place used as? If it was so holy to the Muslims as Sheikh Salah claims Why did they not look after it then????
38. We must remove this filthy liar from our lands!
Morris ,   USA   (02.18.07)
39. He'll answer to G-D for his Wicked LIE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.18.07)
Why does this Sheik treat G-D with contempt? G-D commanded: YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS It was to Jews that G-D gave the HOLIEST place on earth to. Why do Muslims treat G-D with such profound disrespect? G-D did not give this HOLY place - the Temple Mount for molotov cocktail, bottle and rock throwing violence. G-D gave the Temple Mount for worship and prayer. Bible, Isaiah 56:7 My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.
40. Sheikh Salah
Steven Rosenfeld ,   L.A USA   (02.18.07)
Thank God for Sheikh Salah! As long as the Arabs have people like him, the notion of a Palestinian State is something that will never happen. In another few generations, with Palestinians leaving the West Bank in ever growing numbers and the Jewish birtrate exploding there, we will have a vibrant Jewish majority in all of the Land of Israel. Then we will be able to do what we want with the Temple Mount and all the other Jewish sites in the entire Land of Israel that the Muslims, whose so called religion is just a mishmash of teachings stolen from Judaism and Christianity, fabricate as their own.
41. Islam - Scientology - what's the difference???
Tom Cruise ,   Hollywood   (02.18.07)
both religions were invented by door to door salesmen
42. Rising Star?
a Christian ,   Norway   (02.18.07)
Thank you Salah,for turning a grey morning into a morning full of laughter.Your funny ways of reading history and your attempt of promoting yourselves is amazingly entertaining.You are a rising star in the Middle East just because too many love to live in a backwater.But there are also many despairing people among you.YOU INCITE VIOLENCE!!!Violence is a FALLING STAR!!! People full of lies don't bring anything good!!!
43. Time for real war with these ' muslims'!!!
linda   (02.18.07)
44. Give them the Western Wall
Daniel ,   Israel   (02.18.07)
Ok; give them the western wall and take the whole of mount Scopus in exchange. It was Jewish through out the history until Jews were hissed off; we are back now. So return our holy sites and as token of good gasture take the western wall. Fair deal don't you think Mr Salah
45. The Qu'ran is actually Zionist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
King David ,   Zion   (02.18.07)
Lets wake them up!!!!!!!!!!!! "Pharoah sought to scare them out of the land [of Israel]; but We [Allah] drowned him, together with all who were with him. Then We said to the Israelites: 'Dwell in this land [the Land of Israel]. When the promise of the World to Come comes to pass, We shall assemble you all together" [Qur'an, "Night Journey", chapter 17:106 - which foresees the return of a "mixed multitude"]. for much more http://blog.myspace.com/doevke

48. Salah - A repulsive and miserable excuse for a human being
BigE ,   Israel   (02.18.07)
49. Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Quran!
(02.18.07)
Fact: Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Quran (Mecca and Medina being Muslim holy cities); it is iterated over 700 times in the Old Testament while Jews pray facing the direction of Jerusalem all over the world. Fact: The Al-Aksa Mosque was built in 700 AD (very late!) in the very midst of what had been the holiest site for Jews since 970 B.C.—the Holy Temple—of which the Western Wall still marks the holiest Jewish site to this day.
50. to 22
t.i ,   israel   (02.18.07)
I'm glad you said it honestly, now let me explain you something my cousin, the western wall isn't in danger so as your mosque, we are'nt warmongers like you, we respect your reiligon, you probably don't respect ours, nothing's new, I don't have any expectations from you, tolerance is value that don't exist at all in your society, and I know your society and your religion very well. the koran say it very clearly the jews belong to israel land, internalize it, you don't have a choice.
51. Western Wall and the Islamic lie
shulamit ,   Israel   (02.18.07)
You dont have to have a docturate to know that Judaism came into being a few thousand years before Islam. The Holiest site to Judaism is the Temple Mount where the Temple once stood it was several hundres of years later when the Moslems invaded Jerusalem that they built a Mosque there on Judaisms Holiest site. We are promised in the Prophets that the Temple Mount will be the site for the third Temple. It is a good job that the Arans have Mecca and Medina as their holiest sites
52. To #10
Jasmin ,   Haifa   (02.18.07)
This guy is a moron IF he really believes what he says. But I doubt that he does. He's an evil inciter.
53. That is the funniest thing I have heard
stephanie ,   Israel   (02.18.07)
Between 1948 until 1967 when Israel liberated East Jerusalem the Temple Mount plaza which the Jordanians held was nothing but a garbage dump, infact the Arabs used to come to the area a relieve themselves (pee) there. Such a holy site it was for them!
54. A Rapacious Culture Extending It's Tentacles
Dan ,   India   (02.18.07)
Raed Salah's claim is in line with the countless claims made by Moslems the world over. Wherever they have gone Moslems have indulged in rampant acts of genocide, torture, rape and pillage. Often, the final act in the establishment of an Islamic dispensation has been the conversion of places of worship of the natives to an Islamic shrine with the dissemination of concocted and highly improbable legends associated with those places going back to even pre-Islamic times. Case in point is the holiest Islamic site at Mecca-the Ka'aba-often misrepresented as a distinctive symbol of Islamic architecture post Mohammed. The nature of the monument as well as the religious practice of circling the monument as part of the Hajj is reminiscent of the ancient pre-Moslem practice followed by the Khuraish-the tribe that was slaughtered by the Islamists under Mohammed. The later add-on that the Ka'aba is an erection by Avraham , would be belied by the accounts of Avraham's travel-although not part of the Quran, all the same recounted in various Sunnahs which would confine Avraham to much of present day Israel. The same can be said about the Islamic claims to holy sites in India, where tens if not hundreds, of thousands of places of worship by the Hindu's were destroyed or desecrated, to be replaced by Mosques or shrines named after the Moslem invaders, often providing them with the mythical allure of being minor prophets. The most notable was the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, believed by the Hindus to be the birth place of the Hindu God Ram. A 13th century Moslem invader Babur, had destroyed the temple and replaced it with a mosque fittingly called Babri Masjid, which had fallen to disuse in the course of time. In 1948, following India's Independence, a suit regarding the ownership of the property erupted with the title holder - a Hindu landlord and the local Wakhf- which resorted to the standard Islamic logic that anything remotely Moslem was Wakhf property for perpetuity. The matter dragged on in the courts for years till the Hindu nationalists turned the matter into one of Hindu awakening and used it to their electoral advantage in the late 1980s. And finally, in 1993 a restive mob, orchestrated by their leadership, demolished the structure. The ownership case, still pending before the trial court, is expected to come to a conclusion some time in the next millennium or there-abouts. While the above account has no relation to the statements by a rambling moon-worshiper ( NO! I am not losing perspective, try and find out the root of the word Allah and what it means in pre-Islamic Arabic) , it is still a pointer to the fact that Islam greatest failure has been the inability of the Islamists to move away from the Invader mentality that was espoused by Mohammed, et al. The demand for special status for Islam- as manifested during the cartoon crisis- and the hypersensitivities displayed by the adherents of that faith -is actually a manifestation of the impotence of that religion to cope with the rigors of the 21st century reality. The choice for Islamists is a stark one- they could either come to terms with the new times and reconcile their religion to the times they live in or they could set the clock back to the times where Islam really belongs: some where around 7th century circa. All indications suggest that leaders like Salah, Ayatollah and Bin Laden are opting for the latter. The choice for the host civilizations, who have significant numbers of Islamists living amongst them is equally stark- they can either choose to identify their enemy by name in the newest World War and choose to combat the enemy on an equal footing or stick to the conventional politically correct interpretations of history as enunciated by Karen Armstrong et al. and risk annihilation. Sadly, the current dispensations in the majority of the world, including Israel, have seemingly chosen the latter option.
55. Holy?
Salaam ,   Medinah   (02.18.07)
The greatest of hopes of mine is that Heavens send a thunder one day that destroys all this Holiness completely to the ground. Western Wall and its sorroundings could then uncover what it is based upon. Everything would then appear ILLUMINATED even for the wickediest
56. # 7 Deafening silence
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (02.18.07)
More deafening still is the silence of Olmert Livni Perets These suicidal idiots were voted by an idiotic populace, who couldn't care less about judaism and zionism Feigelin for PM ! Add to these: useless Lupoliansky and traitor "rabbi" Amar and now Jimmy Carter might as well have a minian for his new religion of evacuation
57. It's like saying Mecca belongs to the Jews
A Bethlehemite   (02.18.07)
This guy is an ignorant nut.
58. Who built the Western Wall??
Palestinian   (02.18.07)
The Jewish speculations that this Wall is miraculously still standing since 2000 years when al-Aqsa mosque itself collapses 3 times from earth quakes is just rubbish! This wall was built and rebuilt several times by several Muslim sultans. The most significant of which are Memluks and Ottomans. It is WELL KNOWN that the walls of Jerusalem as they look today was the final work by the Ottoman Caliph, Sulieman the Magnificient! So stop the bull. There are no Jewish sites there! What Israelite prophets had there was a Mosque that was used by these prophets, and that has been mentioned in the Quran to be destroyed twice. It was called in the Quran al-Aqsa mosque. So, this site was a worship site. Not a place for a Palace, or a Temple that was destroyed by the Muslims. Instead, Muslims revived this area after 800 years of it being ignored by Jews. Muslims only built as they believe it is one of the two sites built by Abraham and his children. Abraham claimed to be himself a "muslim" in the Quran. "Muslim" meaning the one who complied and gave total submission to Allah. I hope this was useful!
59. to number 53? Do you believe your self?
Palestinian   (02.18.07)
It is really funny. So you have no single building in Jerusalem standing since the glory Jewish times!! And now you accus those who have of negligance? I know you are trying to amuse and relief yourserlves. I know that as others, you want to seek a justification for your existence on this land! But do not be irrational and sloppy
60. Certainly no moron
Christian ,   Sweden   (02.18.07)
Sheik Salah is certainly no moron. He knows what he is doing and he is very clear about his intensions. There should be no compromise over Eastern Jerusalem and the old town with the Western Wall. He and radical Islam is adamant in this matter. The Jews should be kicked out. In the end this is of cause also about the medinat jisroel. It should be removed from the map. His way of historical argumentation is not about history as such but more about politics and religion. It is his way of saying you do not belong here and we are going to kick you out. And to succed with this he is rallying not only the Arab world but all Muslims in every part of the world. He is kindling a holy war against Israel and the Jews and he is using radical, political, Islam as the tool. In this situation Israel has the choice to take a firm stand or give in. The irony is that only by taking a firm stand against the radicals can Israel and the West give "moderate" Muslims any chance to determine the agenda on their side. Appeasement of the radicals only weakens the "moderates".
