31. The story is really simple
Palestinian   (11.18.07)
Islam is a religion that is never claimed by the prophet Muhammad to have starting it. It is the religion of submission and Abraham called his followers the submitters "Muslims".. Two site of worship and prostation to God before the birth of the prophet Muhammad were mentioned in the Quran. Al-Aqsa mosque and the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. both built by Ibrahim and his children. al-Aqsa mosque has been a site of continuous worship and has been used by the Israelite prophets too. this has been mentioned in the Quran and the destruction of al-Aqsa mosque twice has been mentioned in the Quran too. If you mean the Jewish Temple, the Masjid of Jerusalem, that has been mentioned twice in the Quran, then where is the problem. Muslims the first thing they did is to reconstruct the Temple... Hence, the 3rd Temple you mention has been reconstructed by a Prophet of Allah 1400 back and this contradicts none of the Israelite prophecies who according Quran were Muslim prophets.... Today there are not artifacts left from the Masjid that was constructed by Abrahim, and his children, and reconstructed by Prophet Suleiman. When Muslims took the site from the Romans and from the Arab Christian Patriarch Sophronious, it was a trashed site and used as a dumpster.... It has been restored to a Masjid again which has been called in the Quran al-Masjid al-Aqsa.. today it is called the Noble Sanctuary too.
32. #31 - Your twisted thinking is the problem
Mamalama ,   Israel   (11.18.07)
The non-Muslim world is being subjected to this kind of religious thuggery. This is non-history at its worst. It's all stolen from non-Muslims because they can't invent or create anything positive or productive themselves.
33. The Holy Temple Mount
a Christian   (11.18.07)
The Muslims believe Mohamed is a messenger from God ! ??Mohamed tells them that even the trees and the stones will scream "A Jew is hiding behind me,come kill him".This is too incredible to believe.The Muslims most likely believe God is at war with himself.The Temple Mount is Jewish,they build it because it is also Holy to God.And the Jews are the people who should be taking ALL the decisions regarding the Holy City of Jerusalem with the Mount.
34. The caliph Omar al kattab...
ben ,   singapore   (11.18.07)
conquered Jerusalem and built a large retangular wooden building bifg enough for 3,000 men. in 691 Caliph abd al malik erected the Qubbah al sakrah. the golden dome. Now all these are called tresspass to Jewish Land and such trepassers created every easement rights,later the whole temple is read as have vested legal right to the Muslims.Now how can a land od Avraham become the legal title of muslims ?You see when the old man Areil Sharon went to the site in 2000 he was not allowed his own land. What the Pals./ Arabs created Title Register with their Islamic History ?SIMPLE ! The Temple Mount belongs to the Jews.The waqf was originally intented to hold the Temple Mount for the true n=benifeciaries of the Trust- The Jews- later to be handed over to the Jews wo are the rightful owners of the property. it is not a miracle that we see the temple mount being treated as the so called Al Aqsa- The muslims committed a breach of trust and theft of the land that belong to the jews. Simple ! Go back to the the very basics of historical prespective.Israel need not Judaize Temple Mount when Temple Mount it self is the center of the Jewish Nation.The Turkish Mission merely support the breach of trust committed by the invaders and imperialist. Look the jews are not stupid ! I know Jewish history and Islamic History too !
35. #31- Balestinian.
Uzziel   (11.18.07)
These are facts: Jerusalem is never mentioned in the book you consider holy. Masjid al Aksa, the furthest mosque, mentioned in the Qu´ran from a text dating in 621 could never be the structure built on top of the Temple Mount, simply because it is historically recorded that they´ve been built by the Umayyads of Damascus in 688-691 in the context of a power struggle with the Caliphs of Mecca. But if you lie about your nationality, what can we expect from people like you if it is not a total fabrication of History to fit in your agenda?
36. Truth
Said ,   London, UK   (11.18.07)
All religions believe that they have a monopoly on truth. That's the cause of all religious wars. To state things otherwise is gross ignorance.
37. What did you think would come of this
Jakov   (11.18.07)
Of course, Turkey being a Muslim country is going to come up with this kind of result. The whole process is flawed before even getting off the ground. Judaize the Temple Mount? What were they smoking when they said this? The Mount has always been a Center for Judaism and Jewish activity. And always will be. Terry, excellent comment on your part.
38. #30 please explain...
(11.18.07)
How can you use the Bible as "historically material" when you,at the same time, deny everything written about the events that are taking place ?
39. #30 very well said, go on, do not stop!
(11.18.07)
40. whats they say is true if you do a 180 degree turn
zionist forever   (11.18.07)
When Hamas took over Gaza and Abbas became Olmerts new best friend he canceled the Mugrabe Gate bridge project even though this is simply building a permanent bridge to replace an unsafe temproy structure and the waqf tried to turn it into some kind of attamept to pull the mosque down. That project though has been cancled thanks to Olmert wanting to do anything for Abbas and now the only way Israeli police or soilders can get up to the mount if needed is either via an unsafe temporoy bridge or through muslim areas. Israel is not comunicating with the waqf becaiuse the politicians are to scared to get into any kind of confrontation with them because they are worried it will lead to more terror so they let the waqf carry on illigaly digging and destroying jewish archeology. If anybody is trying to try and change the status of Temple Mount here its the waqf who are trying to get rid of all traces of jews ever having their temples there.
41. They do mean re-Judaize, don't they?
Micha   (11.18.07)
42. THE POINT IS
GOD ,   EARTH   (11.19.07)
THE JEWS AS USUAL ,ARE DISRESPECTING THE ARABS . THOUGH THE ISRAELIS SPIN IT AS PRO ISRAEL AS POSSIBLE THE FACTS REMAIN THAT INTERNATIONAL PEACE KEEPING FORCES ALWAYS COME BACK WITH THE SAME REPORT- jews dp not play fair or treat the palestinians with an ounce of respeCt> and you all claim you want peace.SHAME ON YOU. ALL OF YOU
43. oh by the way #30 over there in the reich
jack bauer   (11.19.07)
it also says in koran that Israel was given to the jews. Oh and also moHAMad didnt go there to the mount...it says he went there in a dream! Well I dreamt I went to mecca....Oh wait I would have been beheaded for that....... Jerusalem is the 3rd holy site for muzzies? So what? It is the 1st for jews Could we take over mecca and then build our temple on top of the kabba?
44. Who cares about the Temple, who cares about the Israel??
Levo ,   Turkey   (11.19.07)
I wonder which idiot in Turkey asked that!
45. #30 perspective skewed
ben Ish   (11.19.07)
Your secular bias is clearly revealed in your anti-faith rant. The fact of the matter is that the Hebrew scriptures are THE MOST fully documented writings known. The historical references are fully verified through archaeological finds, historians accounts, and documents and accounts from cultures across the entire area; NOT just the Jewish accounts. It is absurd to claim that the Jewish temple was not constructed on the Temple Mount. In fact, I dare say such denial borders on mental illness. Following this, WHAT sort of mentality freely acknowledges the right of the Muslims to possess unquestioningly their most important holy sites, Mecca and Medina, and simultaneously claim that in all fairness, the Jewish people should be denied the heart and soul of their faith in favor of a tertiary mythology that is NOT EVEN MENTIONED in their own documents or history? Or ANY other history, account, or even mythology. In WHAT way is that not anti-semitic? Anyone who claims that Muslims should retain possession of "al-quds" beyond question, above the right of Israel's most holy temple is clearly emotionally invested in marginalizing the Jewish people and their most cherished beliefs.
46. clarification...
ben Ish   (11.19.07)
in my reply to #30, when I wrote "al-quds" I meant to say "al-aqsa". b.I.
47. Religous wars??
ben Ish   (11.19.07)
Sick and tired of heretics blaming "religion" for wars. WHAT "RELIGIOUS WARS" COMPARE TO MANS LUST FOR POWER AT ANY COST? By "religious war" do you mean World War 1 ( 15 million dead) .. OH that was not religious, huh. Maybe you mean the Russian civil war ( 9 million dead) OH, thats wasn't religious either. MAYBE you mean Stalin's religious campaigns from 1924 to 1953 ( 20 million dead ) NO? hmm.. maybe World War 2? ( 50 million dead) NO??? China then? 2.5 million dead 1945 to 1949? The Korean War? The Vietnam War? American Civil War? Ghengis Khan? Babylon? Alexander? Greco-Roman wars? WHAT ARE THESE RELIGIOUS WARS THAT YOU HERETICS POINT THE FINGER AT? BY MY COUNT MAN'S OWN LUST FOR POWER HAS KILLED ONE BILLION HUMANS, WITH NOT ONE SHRED OF RELIGIOUS SUPPORT. Enough already. Keep your piehole shut. okthanksbye.
48. 'Judaize' the history of the Temple Mount." ???
(11.19.07)
That's like trying to "Catholicize" the Vatican! When are the Jews going to learn that the Muslims are never happy unless they own everything?
49. God is sending the Angel Gabriel with His message:
(11.19.07)
All who claim the Temple Mount other than the Jews will understand when he comes. They will pray there, all of them, but will understand and accept God's will that Jerusalem is the Etermal City of the Chosen People. They will then stop fighting each other, and ALL WILL WORSHIP IN PEACE THERE!
