2. to #1
George ,   Jerusalem   (01.24.07)
Shame on you rasist.
3. #2 - the racist
Morris ,   USA, Israel in Feb.   (01.25.07)
Shame on you and your leaders for being the true racists and not allowing any other religions to practice their beliefs on the Temple Mount.
4. The Mosque in the picture
Palestinian ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.25.07)
The Mosque in the picture is not Al Aqsa Mosque, it is the Dome of the Rock. Al Aqsa Mosque is adjacent to it. There's a major difference between the two, look it up. This is really great news that they've finally replaced the minbar of Salah al Din although nothing can compare to the original.
5. The mosque belongs in Mecca not Jewish Jerusalem.
Daisy ,   USA   (01.25.07)
6. Israel should...
Vitaliy, Esq. ,   NJ   (01.25.07)
Assert its jurisdiction over the Temple Mount. The Palestinian imam should be ousted and the Jordanian one installed. However, all the repairs to the complex should be done by Jews (except where they can't go because of religious reasons). And no fifth minaret. Or alternatively, if the fifth minaret is going up, something Jewish (and possibly Christian) should be built there as well. No to exclusive Palestinian control of Jewish holy places!
7. it is about the art
mariam ,   jerusalem   (01.25.07)

8. Rohan
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (01.25.07)
Someone told me he converted to Judaism. Is this true? We need him like a lockh in kop. Oy!
9. Abdullah should contribute to Islamic art in his country...
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (01.25.07)
and stay out of Israel! Israel does not need more Islamic art.
10. jew and arabs on temple mount
yoni ,   jerusalem   (01.25.07)
nobody is permitted ont he temple mount. jews cannot be there because of our impure state and arabs cannot be there because they are nonjews. in the times of the temple there was a gate with signs on it reading "any gentile who pases this point is liable to be put to death" we are still responsible for the sanctity of the temple and it must be off limits to everyone until we have an opportunity to allow the jews back on. may our temple be rebuilt soon in our days.
11. Great, another podium to spew Jew hate from...
(01.25.07)
12. accuracy and fairytales
tom ,   toronto, canada   (01.25.07)
whether saladin himself did or did not build the pulpit in the al aqsa mosque, he died 814 years ago, not "about 1,000 years ago". and obviously even he couldn't have built it before he was born... where there are historical records and dates available, it is not acceptable to report fairytales as if they were news. this is in keeping with the fairytale about jerusalem (better known in arabic as "al quds al yahud") being the "other holy place" where mohammed is supposed to have ascended to heaven - if it was jerusalem, then why didn't the moslems "discover" its identity until the crusades?
13. Idiots...
Miriam ,   Galut, California   (01.25.07)
I am a Jew, I went to the temple mount. Anyone can go there. So all you people who say palestinians ,Jews or anyone are not allowed please get your facts right. Don't listen to what you hear on the news, half of it is a lie.
14. How many Jewish holy sites
Avram ,   tikkun olam   (01.26.07)
do we have exclusive control of in Arab countries?
15. I hope muslims would use this podium to..
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (01.26.07)
.... preach peace and coexistence, not incite against other religions.
16. Preach that GOD IS LOVE
Ima Bleever ,   Anytown USA   (01.26.07)
I will contribute to your new podium if from it you preach the words of Jesus Christ whom you CLAIM to believe is a prophet. Here are some words of His that you may find enlightening: I am THE way, the truth and the life and no man comes unto the Father [God] but by ME. If you love me, feed my sheep. Love your enemies. Pray for those who despitefully use you. Bless those who curse you. Love the Lord your God with all your mind, body and soul. Love your neighbor as yourself. The greatest of these [commandments] is LOVE. God is Love. May the love of Jesus Christ, whom Muhammed called a prophet, fill your hearts and cause you to repent of anger, violence and strife, even if you thought you were doing it for God's sake. Amen.
17. Let hope
Oded Ambar   (01.27.07)
We hope better words will be told by preachers from new podium.
18. #16: Please preach this to Bush
Soothesayer   (01.28.07)
Most of the hate and anger will go away as soon as your crazy president stops sponsoring his inhumane crusade around the muslim world. You obviously are a dedicated Christian and we respect you and thank you for your words, You shall find more about Jesus and Mary in the Quran. Amen.
