...worship. It is time the "liberal", "progressive" and "enlightened" forces abroad demanded of the Islamists to cease their activities if there is ever going to be an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between Israel and its Muslim-Arab neighbors. The silence of the "progressives" out there is indicative of where their heart s really are...!!!

JayZ ,   jerusalem   (10.25.09)
Prophet Ibrahim was a muslim as muslims do believe, they won't burn his burial place either. Both Ismael and Jaccop are prophets who muslims believe in, just like Moses and Isa

observer   (10.25.09)
after a couple of violent hours; not a single comment boosting Jews' historic right has been posted among 37 TBs on this forum
40. #21 Muslims took over the complex from the Christians.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (10.25.09)
Who in turn, forcibly took it away from the Jews - the four-sided walled structure that stands to this day is a testament to the architect of Herod's era - the same architect who renovated the Second Temple and constructed the support walls of the Temple Mount. Now, here's the thing, when you take over someone else's holy site just because you have the biggest sword, expect to be expelled when someone else with a bigger sword or gun comes along. Instead, you still have more than half of the Cave of the Patriarchs complex under your control, and all of the Temple Mount - or Al-Aqsa plaza, call it as you wish. The thing is, we gave you Muslims far more consideration and concern to your beliefs than you, or Christians, ever gave ours. And yet you're still bitter, still sulking, all because you believe you had the divine right to forcibly take over another faith's holiest sites and turn them into your own. Well, we're here now. Deal with it, and show some respect. Had we treated you in the same way you treated us, there would be no mosque standing in the Cave of the Patriarchs complex, and no mosques standing at the temple mount. They would all be smoking ruins hastily built over by the new rulers, who would then claim it was like this forever and that no one was ever here before.
41. The Ibrahim tomb contains ancestors of the Palestinians, as
Jack ,   richmond, va   (10.26.09)
well as, the Jewish people. According to genetic archeology studies at Jerusalem University, 50% of Palestinian muslim males are descendants of the same male population (with a population separation of 2000 years) as 70% of Jewish Diaspora males. If you go back another 2500 years, 80% of Palestinian muslim males and 70% of the Jewish Diaspora males are descendants of the same males. Palestinian male muslims are gentically identical to Palestinian Jewish and Christian males. This is a single semitic population that was forcibly fractured by the Romans; nevertheless, the ancestrial tombs contain the ancestors of both populations. The ancestors to these people were historically called Israelites.
42. roits at temple mount
sandy ,   australia   (10.26.09)
I think the police done a good job there that day as things have to be sorted out early before trouble gets away and becomes to big....we all know how the palisteians can get out of hand....the police do a hard job in Israel and should be shown support rather then abuse...the law should be tougher on ppl who disrepect the police
