31. Here they go again!
Nannette ,   London, UK   (02.08.07)
Always well organised, and responding to calls from elsewhere in the world, Muslims rally against every other religion. As we saw with the Bamyan Buddhas, the Muslims won't stop until every trace of other civilisations has been all but obliterated. They're the ones who have destroyed the Temple Mount, not Israel. It should be payback time - and Muslims should be forced by this pathetically weak and impotent Israeli government, to stop ALL work on the Temple Mount themselves. Muslims all over the world are crybabies, and shift the blame on everyone else for their intolerance and bigotry. When Muslims allow a synagogue to be built in Mecca, then they should have equal rights to the Temple Mount, until then it should be primarily Jewish.
32. Muslims
Christian ,   Houston   (02.08.07)
What a sad people you are. Your ignorance and arrogance will be your own sentence to Hell. You honestly believe that a True and Just God would force a person with threats to worship and love him. You are the pawns of Satan and it would be wise for your people to open their denying eyes. Hell is forever.
33. You all are different sides of same coin
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (02.08.07)
All the readers’ feedback are threats and counter threats. If your response to the Muslims’ threats is as threatening then you ain't no better than them. I believe if there is any misunderstanding the two sided should sit together and solve it peacefully. Peace out.
34. Jerusalem should be under CHRISTIAN control
Rami ,   Nazareth, israel   (02.08.07)
This is the more reason why the Eternal City should be under Christian control. Both Jews and Muslims has failed in bringing peace to Aelia Capitolina
35. #33 I agree with you, but first tell irresponsible Mullahs
Talk Sense ,   USA   (02.08.07)
and other Arabs in positions of authority to stop inciting riots and stirring up Muslim sentiment before they have the actual facts. Then they can sit down together and resolve this issue peacefully.
36. #34 JERUSALEM, ALL Israel Given by G-D Only to Jews FOREVER
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.08.07)
Attempting to give away, take, or steal one inch of G-D given Jewish Holy Land is making War Against G-D ! Who will not fear this great, this mighty and this awesome G-D? Bible, Psalm 119:120 My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of Your judgments.
37. To Rami - why don't you move to Vatican?
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (02.08.07)
Last time Jerusalem was under Christian control, it was a capital crime for a Jew to pray at the Western wall. Punishment? IMMEDIATE BEHEADING! So much for your theories. For the first timein 2000 years, ALL peoples are provided FULL freedom of worship. given your desires, we might as well move out. Remember - this is a Jewish State. If youare unhappy, move from nazareth to either the Vatican or Riyadh!
38. Arabs
Steven Rosenfeld ,   L.A. USA   (02.08.07)
It's really just a few kilometers from Israel to Gaza or the West Bank. Should these Arabs feel more comfortable living there, I'm sure Israel would have no objections and they could live happily in a democratic, secure and prosperous Palestine. Inshallah.
39. "The path to Mugrabi Gate ... it's only Muslim"
Tobias ,   Germany   (02.08.07)
"The path to Mugrabi Gate is 800 years old and it's only Muslim, not Jewish." I understand that the Mosques are muslim. But since when, and why, the ramp to the Mughrabi Gate? Not understandable. This path is on the western wall plaza, and at least 70 meters away from any mosque.
40. #34 ramzi
stephane ,   france   (02.08.07)
don't be so naïve,ramzi...do you really think that if you were in charge of the security of this jewish city;you'll be in peace with muslims? the muslims hate you as much as they hate us.their problem is not the jews;their problem is EVERYTHING that is not muslim.in nazareth the muslims call you an "arab" when they're in front of you,but when they go to the mosque they call you an "infidel" or a "pig",or a "monkey";just like they call us ramzi.read about what the muslims of bethleem are doing to their christians neighboors:looting,beating,stole,raping,murders...ramzi,you're only luck is that you are in nazareth under jewish israeli protection.you have to be with us because we have the same ennemi:the nazislamists(not all the muslims)but unfortunately most of them...
41. # 24 u need 2 take lessons in being specific in ur comments.
tareq ,   jerusalem   (02.08.07)
I believe u just cant find the suitable words to express ur hate towards muslims.Remember u r living there in usa not in jerusalem.All u know is nothing about whats going on here.Ha ha, just keep away from interfering in this land. U should better protest against uncle sam's policy in iraq.11 us soldiers dead within 48 hours..wow!!!did they find the weapons of mass destruction ur president was dreaming of???now tell me who is the dreamer??? reality check, 1-0 for tareq ;-)
42. to #20: About stupid act towards the mosque
Tobias ,   Germany   (02.08.07)
tareq wrote: "even a 4 year old child will never forgive any stupid act towards the mosque" The muslim waqf has been digging huge holes into the southern temple mount in the last some years, directly next to the Al Aqsa Mosque. If anything is destibilizing the mosque, it isn't any archological excavation outside the temple mount, but this holes in the temple mount itself, caused by the irresponsible waqf. The now-disputed israeli works outside the Mughrabi gate are at least 70 meters away from Al-Aqsa mosque and won't affect the mosque.
43. Temple
Kris ,   Texas   (02.08.07)
Just wanted to say thank you Linda, your words were all truth. We shall not keep silent on these issues. G-d Bless!
44. Attention All Christians!
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (02.08.07)
Dear Christian Friends Everywhere! Please take note of whom we are dealing with - terrorists and bullies. If they don't like what we are doing - they threaten violence. Real mature of them, no? This is the time for Christians everywhere to unite behind the Jews and show your support. If you don't they will devour you.
45. This is what they are afraid of:
R. Alkalai ,   USA   (02.08.07)
Apart from just wanting to destroy Israel & kill the Jews, they fear what we will find. This is what was uncovered just yesterday:Archeologist: Ancient cistern proves location of Second TempleAn Israeli archeologist said Wednesday that he has pinpointed the exact location of the Second Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. The site identified by Hebrew University archeologist Prof. Joseph Patrich, based on the study of a large underground cistern on the Temple Mount and passages from the Mishna, places the Temple and its corresponding courtyards, chambers and gates in a more southeasterly and diagonal frame of reference compared to previous studies. Patrich based his research, which is about to be published, on a study of a large underground cistern on the Temple Mount that was mapped by British engineer Sir Charles Wilson in 1866 on behalf of the Palestine Exploration Fund, along with passages from the Mishna. The giant cistern, 4.5 meters wide and 54 meters long, lay near the southeastern corner of the upper platform of the Temple Mount. Examining the location and configuration of the cistern together with descriptions of the daily rite in the Temple and its surroundings found in the Mishna, Patrich said that this cistern is the only one found on the Temple Mount that can tie in with the ancient rabbinic text describing elements involved in the daily purification and sacrificial duties carried out by the priests on the altar in the Temple courtyard. On this basis, he says, one can reconstruct the placement of a large basin that was used by the priests for their ritual washing, with the water being drawn by a waterwheel mechanism from the cistern. After this purification, the priests ascended the nearby ramp to the sacrificial altar. By thus locating the laver, the water wheel, the ramp and the altar, one can then finally map, again in coordination with the Mishna, the alignment of the Temple itself and its gates and chambers, he said.
46. #41 Tareq don't point
back in ur face ,   USA   (02.08.07)
the finger of hate if you are doing the hating, like lying about where the Temple Mount is. It is NOT "in Gaza or under the sea." The Bible says where it is. YOU know where it is. So stop lying and pointing the finger. It is YOU who has trouble expressing himself in a corherant fashion. What does the USA's policies in Iraq have to do with lying about where the Temple Mount is? What was the comment about a billion Muslims pouring water on the Holy Land to drown it in the Med. Sea? And you have the nerve to claim other people are full of hate? Arrogant people like you obviously need to be reminded that the world is full of other people besides Moslems, and they get their news from sources other than the crap propagated by the truth-twisting Al-Manar and propaganda-spouting Al-Jazeera. You are the one who needs a reality check!
47. #20 should read #42's post
(02.08.07)
How can you not even know what is going on in your own neighborhood? Turn off Al-Jazeera and go see for yourself before you make ridiculous statements.
48. Muslim Tunnels in the Temple????
Ima Bleever ,   Anytown USA   (02.08.07)
I vascilate between rage and sadness when I think of how the Muslims deliberately buried their dead at the entrance to one of the gates of old Jerusalem in order to bar the way for Jews. Is this the Mughrabi gate? If so, it sure figures, doesn't it? The Bible says that when Jesus returns, His foot will touch the Mount of Olives and it will split all the way to that gate, opening a path for the Jews. You Muslims should know that Jesus, whom your prophet called a prophet of God, forsaw your treachery against the Jews 2000 years ago. That's 600 years before Muhammed was born. On behalf of REAL Christians who do not bow to idols, brick nuns up in walls, slaughter people in the name of the Vatican, hide pedophile priests, or hunt and murder Jews as if they are to blame for Jesus's death, I apologize for what the Catholics did to you all: both Jew and Muslim. Jesus came here knowing He was a sacrifice. His body was made special. He suffered just as the Jewish prophesies fortold He must. Israel will rebuild her temple. The true followers of Jesus Christ will assist, send money and labor and materials and defense. We will never let Israel fall. The Bible prophesies that the Temple must be rebuilt before the Messiah can return. I believe the real reason the Muslims dig beneath the Temple is to hide weapons or make secret tunnels. Think "bulging walls". I believe THAT is the more immediate fear of discovery. But I also agree with number 45 and would like to reassure number 44 that we already are behind you, right behind you, in it with you, if only in spirit.

50. #37 Jews prefer the west over Israel
Rami ,   Nazareth   (02.08.07)
We live at a time where many Jews prefer to live in the Christian west over living in Israel. American Jews in this christian state live a more successful and prosperous lives that in Israel. (including brain washed L. Rivera)

52. TRemple MOunt dig
Hilda ,   USA   (02.09.07)
Such hypocisy. The world was silent and Israel did next to nothing to stop the destruction that Arabs did when they destroyed and discarded Israeli presence on the Mount. Now we are to blieve that Israel is destroying thier Al Aksa Mosque. It should have been destroyed in "67 when Israel recaptured Jerusalem. Instaed Israel wanted to promote religious freedom and made one of the biggest mistakes they could in trusting Arabs to take care of the site.

Are you talking about mehid or mahid? If so get ready both Jews and Christians for the anti-Christ to arrive and soon we all get to go home to where we rightfully belong "heaven" leaving the Muslims behind, either that or you’re talking about the return of JESUS?
