1. No Muslim connection to Jerusalem,just another fairytale..
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (10.01.11)
The Temple Mounth was,is and always will be the Jewish House of prayer;muhamad never poot is foot in Jerusalem and all he did,was done in Arabia.In the clean Jerusalem is NEVER mention,because was not an Arabic place,but a Jewish place. The Temple Mounth shoul return to Jewish worshippers.... Muslims are famous for taking over other religions house of prayers,Islam has no connectioctions with Jerusalem.. The "Islamic lies" , or if you like,the Islamic deception" is at the base of all Muslims lies.... You cannot change facts: Jesus was born in Israel and already 2000 hers ago Israel was full of Jewish people,when Mohamad was just a sperm....
2. Very weak report!!! Very bad actually
John ,   Al Quds   (10.01.11)
3. Stop speading Arab propaganda;Jerusalem was never "sacred"
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.01.11)
to muslims, read the Holy Kouran (to cite the Chief Immam H.B. Obama). By the way: having gang-raped a woman does not make her "belong" to her assailants, so the fact that from time to time some nobody claimed Jerusalem does not change the irrefutable FACT, that it is ours alone. -don't argue, just shut up!!!
4. The big mistake of Moshé Dayan......
mindRider ,   The Free World   (10.01.11)
.......who as a secular Jew could right after the conquest in 1967 have at least taken the controlling power Wafq away and by doing such opened up the Mosque completely to Jews and Christians.
5. Jesus went to the Temple and not the Dome of the Rock.
(10.01.11)
6. Looking for a Temple to pray in
Ahmad proud Pal ,   Washington D.C.   (10.01.11)
We will see if Jesus comes and prays at the dome of the Rock, definitely not at a non existent synagogue/Temple, after all on his return, there is no Temple by the way "The length and the breadth of the earth belongs to the Lord" it may be this year or sooner than we think, but who cares what we think, I know the Lord doesn't.
7. The Farthest Masjid gets closer by the day
Big Rob ,   D..C.   (10.01.11)
Muhammad did visit Jerusalem many times in the flesh. The Shia Iranian Jews came up with the fable and flying horse nonsense . You can believe Muhammad visited Jerusalem in the Flesh and went to many places that even present day Jews will never know of,,,,,, ask me how I know
8. Even the Aliens like the DOME check utube for ufo jerusalem!
Neo ,   EU   (10.01.11)
9. Sacred also to Christians!
Christian ,   Sweden   (10.01.11)
The temple mount is certainly sacred also to us Christians. We admit that the Jewish claim has priority and that Jerusalem and the Mount is at the center of Judaism and your identity as Jews. For us Christians the connection to the Mount is through Jesus of Nazaret who as an observant Jew visited and taught in the second Temple when it was there. Whereas Jesus as the embodiment of the word of G-d and the Moshiach is at the center of our identity and faith, the Mount is not unimportant and still sacred. We claim the right to visit the Mount and to pray there and not to be patronized by anyone eg. muslim guides doing that. And by the way, the Dome of the Rock should be liberaterd out of the hands of the Wakf and transformed into a place for prayer open to all visitors, religious or not, Muslims, Christians or Jews. Therefore the administration of the Dome should be placed into secular Israeli hands. If you try to degrade the Christian connection to the Mount in order to strike a deal with the Muslims you are in fact cutting the branch on which you as Jews are sitting. Very stupid indeed! To all Jewish friends: Shana tova umetika!
10. #4 I REMEMBER MOSHE DAYAN
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.01.11)
The one-eyed fool who was totally devoid of any judaism in his neshama.
11. #3 get your facts straight
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.01.11)
Muslims will never give up the dome of rock, because that is the first holy site in Islam, before the Kaaba (in Makka) Muslims use to pray towards the dome of rock.
12. Jerusalem is the spiritual capital of the world
Borislava ,   Sofia, Bulgaria   (10.02.11)
Very special and valuable for all three religions and also - the most Jewish city from centuries. Everyone has its own history and feelings associated with this sacred place. I associate it with the most beautiful voice of the world for all times - Ofra Haza (Me'al Pisgat Har Hatsofim...)
13. Jews and christians are not allowed to pray on top of mount
Galutia ,   Selah   (10.02.11)
any jewish leader that sets a foot on mount is likley to cause major riots... ask ariel sharon ....
14. Temple Mount
Stingray ,   Belfast UK   (10.02.11)
Many Arabs claim descent from Abraham's elder son Ishmael. The believe that it was he and not Isaac (the son of promise) that God asked Abraham to sacrifice on Mount Moriah. However recorded history (the Holy Scriptures) afirm that it was definitely Isaac. If you really want to understand Arabs then read what Abraham said when he blessed Ishmael.
15. @#3 Get your facts straight indeed
RCCA ,   USA   (10.03.11)
How silly to claim that the Dome of the Rock is a primary site for Muslims. Are you claiming that they are required to make the haj to a site that is less important? Nonsense. Plus you notice in the video that the worshippers have their butts pointed at this so called holy spot and children are kicking soccer balls like it is a playground. Holy to Muslims? Only if it denies Jews access to their Holy Temple.
16. to #11 they face Mekah, the dome rock got
ghostq   (10.03.11)
no relevance to Islam, the dome rock isn't Al Aqsa mosque they r two different mosques and the dome doesn't even apear in the Koran, and underneath the ruined of the temple.
17. to #12 jews and chritians got no problem
ghostq   (10.03.11)
in Jerusalem, we both visit each other sites, it's the Islam that do not let Chritians or Jews to the Temple mount.
18. Salma go to study ! there were no mosques when mohamad died
Daniela   (10.03.11)
Jerusalem is only JEWISH, get it.
19. Temple Mount is not and never was "holy" to Muslims....
BS ,   Jerusalem   (10.03.11)
and Mohammed NEVER went there.... not even in his wildest dreams. All modern revisionist propaganda for POLITICAL and jihad purposes to destroy Israel. Just look at how they stick their butts to what they claim is holy as they bow to Mecca.
20. Limited Entrance, No Prayer
Aviela ,   Migron   (10.04.11)
Info left out of the article: Religious Jews can't go up in groups larger than 25 at a time, can't bring any Jewish holy articles with them, can't pray, can't bow, can't mumble... or we're arrested on the spot.
21. Entrance was forbidden in the 20th Century
Adam ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.04.11)
for political reasons. There was a Synagogue there in the days of Maimonides.
22. BALANCE=BIG (secular) ISRAEL,
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (10.03.11)
23. For some reason
Ahmad ,   Tanta Egypt   (10.04.11)
For some reason the Temple Mt. is in Muslim charge...... End of Story
24. I see your kind of Mad
Derick ,   U.S.   (10.04.11)
#19 BS rightly so abreiviated but can you go there with some form of worship, it has to be frustrating
