61. Don Quiote
albert snow ,   Sweden   (03.13.13)
Dear ms Tezyapar. What did Don Quiote achieve? Nothing, because he was alone. So, what do you think you can achieve when have the whole umma against you. Sorry, but if you want us to take you serious you should first get the salafists, the muslim brotherhood, Erdogan and his AKP party, the talibans etc to share your views. And when they do we can take each other serious.
62. Islam
nera sim ,   france   (03.13.13)
ms Tezyapar, This is a test. Do you think it was right of Muhammed to expell and behed jews living in Medina? Do you agree with the statements in the Quran that jews killed their prophets and distorted the Torah? If you answere NO I belive you´re a friend of jews. If you answere YES you´re an enemy.,

65. No Turkish Imperialism
Jewish Dancer ,   Tel Aviv   (03.13.13)
Who the hell is Turkey to tell Israel what to do on the Temple Mount? The Turkish press is government controlled, so, we should consider this article to be Turkish propaganda. Newsflash: The Ottoman Empire fell when Turkey lost WWI, and we here in Israel have no interest in seeing it revived. Stay out of our affairs.

"The Temple Mount was built about the time of Solomon, which held the first Jewish Temple. The walls of the Mount were reinforced by Herod" Where the hell did you get this revelation? Except in your fairy tales there not one brick to prove not only that Salomon ever build a temple or a barn but that he ever existed.

Actually, it is thought to have first been used by the ancient Greeks, but it was refined by the Romans. Long before Islam even existed! Do you have any more little gems we can trash for you today?

I'm talking about Moorish arch (Keyhole) known in pre-Muslim Syria, adopted by Muslims you on the other hand are babbling about classic architectural arch that was developed in ancient Mesopotamia forgotten for two millenniums and rediscovered by Romans - Greeks didn't use an architectural arch in their structures ,... Talking about trashing you have no idea how many times the editor have blocked my posts and saved your a$$ ,...
72. New Muslim Vision: An Error
ltrail ,   United States   (03.14.13)
Sinem Tezyapar . You have no idea what you are dealing with herein. The Temple is for G-d's Jewish people.. Don't you understand? Those Jews who came out of Egypt, across the Red Sea, and wondered for many years in the wilderness? The Temple is not in any way for Muslims. Period.

And whom were the one to suffer? Mostly jews..if not jews only.
74. Korban Pesach
Fred ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (03.14.13)
Jews are commanded by G-d to bring the Korban Pesach every year at Passover time on Har Habayit. I urge the police to see to it that their religious rites are protected.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.14.13)
Can you offer proof that Jesus ever existed? Unlike Biblical writings which were really contemporary historical accounts, including in Solomon's time, the gospels were written over one hundred years after Jesus' death.
78. Muhammad in the bible
observer ,   Egypt   (03.14.13)
Muhammad is mentioned in the bible basically in attributes, and in more than 22 prophecies, but not in transliteration. The large controversy on actual name, however, is mostly related to the Latin word ‘Paraclytos’ found in John Bible and which is related to Christ prophecy of a messenger who would follow him. Christian scholars see that the word in question is "Paracalon" and not "Paraclytos", which means "the comforter". Muslim scholars insist that "Paraclytos" is the word found in the Bible which means in "He who is praised". I am not sure about how the word reads in Hebrew versions, but the linguistic argument could go on forever. In my view point, it is the content of the message that Muhamad taught that matters.
79. #76, thanks for a good laugh
Jake ,   USA   (03.15.13)
Al Aqsa is not even located where the Temple stood.
80. Quoting a false prophecy to substantiate a false prophet?
Jake ,   USA   (03.15.13)
Using a quote from the New Testament won't convince too many people around here. In my view, it was God's will that Muhammed bring Islam into the world so that the Catholic Church would be deterred from taking over the globe. For that I will be forever grateful to Muhammed and the religion of Islam.
81. The issue is Supremacy
Ezra ,   San Diego   (03.15.13)
The issue is, and always will be, that the Jews will not be subservient to any other religion's belief system. For this reason we are hated by some. The article is nice, but get used to it; we are destined for only HaShem.
82. The New Jerusalem
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (03.15.13)
It's too late for Purim and too early for April 1st, so I assume she is a unique Muslim who recognises the Temple Mount as Judaism's holiest site. 'It is very pleasant to see Jewish people praying on the Temple Mount.' And they weren't arrested? It may not happen tomorrow, but we will see the fulfillment of Isaiah's vision of the New Jerusalem, 'And My House [Jerusalem] will be called a House of Prayer for all peoples.' We will all be there together.
83. #80 well I am sure you and all your friends will be happy

84. A general understanding for all...
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.15.13)
Muhammed lived 570-632 BC. He is not mentioned in the bible, cause there is a time division of more than 1500 years.. The devil is mentioned 57 times, Satan 49 times and Lucifer 1 time. Anyone still believe muhammed is mentioned?? So, if the devil is mentioned many times, is there a need for muhammed.?? All the fuzz abouth this, being mentioned, is just to try to make islam more eatable as a religion, but it is not, its a mixture of politics and suppression of people.
85. #66
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.15.13)
Let me help you out here: This is a as strong as the existing of King David....: "In 90A.D. the Jewish historian Flavium Josephus, in his work entitled Antiquities (Book 18, Chapter 3 Para. 3), reported on the historical existence of Jesus as follows: "Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as received the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was the Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men among us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him: for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him." Other sources besides the Bible testify to the life of Jesus. For example Tacitus, the Roman historian, Suetonius, the Roman court official under the Emperor Hadrian, and Pliny the Younger, the Roman governor of Bithnia in Asia Minor. Moreover, if you have bigger confidence in jewish historians, read here: But Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, does record it. He writes: "Festus [the Roman procurator] was now dead, and Albinus [his successor] was but upon the road; so he [Ananas II, the high priest] assembled the Sanhedrin of the judges, and brought before them the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James, and some others, and when he had formed an accusation against them as breakers of the law, he delivered them to be stoned" ( Antiquities of the Jews , Book 20, chap. 9, sec. 1).
86. Beautiful dreamer
Larry ,   Northridge,usa   (03.16.13)
This writer sounds so nice and so enlightened. I'm guessing the fatwa against her will issue by tommorrow. I hope Israel will give her sanctuary from erdogen and his crew.
87. prophecy could be told more than1500 years back
observer ,   Egypt   (03.16.13)
Hadith mentioned Beit al-Maqdis and Al-Aqsa so many. Mohammad went to Levant in commercial caravans and had been in Al-Aqsa Mosque at least once.
88. 85 ,...
split ,   US   (03.17.13)
Assuming that 85 is addressed to me (it fits more Sarah's post) I want to remind you that there's plenty of arguments by renowned historians that Josephus was no more than an inspirational storyteller not a historian, he was embellishing and rehashing Hebrew myths to keep them going. The narrative in Old Testament contradict itself by timeline and an archaeological evidence or a lack of it - Read Thomas' Thomson's "The Mythical Past" on this subject and take a look from another angle. On the other hand the New Testament narrative is much more reliable because there is more than sufficient evidence that the gospels appeared very early after Christ, well within the lives of the original eyewitnesses who watched and learned from Him,... Agree with you at 84 except that not only Islam but all religions as well as political systems are created to subjugate, suppress and control masses by few for multiple reasons mostly suit their interests.
89. Mohammed in the Bible
