61. #55: My facts are truth.
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (07.15.11)
Before al-Aqsa was rebuilt, it was a small prayer site in Jerusalem. And before the prophet Mohammed was taken to heaven, he prayed at this mosque. By the way, it is not absurb to think "the farthest mosque" is al-Aqsa, because that al-Aqsa is Arabic for "the farthest mosque". You are the one mislead. The facts are right there.
62. #41 - other than a fairy tale, do you have proof?
William ,   Israel   (07.15.11)
Hmmm, so your "facts" are based on rumors and conjecture. In the traditional definition, a rumored story does not equate to a "fact". Provide proof of some measure - a witness to this historical feat, archaeological ruins tying Muhammed to Jerusalem, a latrine where he carved "Muhammed was here". - Anything. As the story goes, Muhammed was transported from Mecca to Jerusalem through a night journey, so he never actually traveled there himself. But here's the thing - while you would claim the Koran is ordained by Allah, it never actually mentions Jerulalem. It calls it The Farthest Mosque, leaving room for dispute over these man-made claims. Some Islamic scholars in Egypt argue that Jerusalem is NOT the farthest mosque but rather Medina was. But I wouldn't be surprised if early Muslims (whom Jews supported until Muhammed slaughtered them in cold-blood) prayed towards Jerusalem. 1) it is a very holy place for the world, and 2) Muslims have a habit of usurping holy places of others, destroying them, then building a mosque on top. Arabs just tried this again with the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron which has been holy to Jews 1500 years before Muhammed was wetting his pants. Hindus, Zoroastrians, Berbers, Christians all know this story well. But since your ilk decided to turn AWAY from Jerusalem to face Mecca, you figuratively and literally turned your back on this holy city and disregard it. Otherwise, why would you keep it in such disarray and throw your trash in it if you held the city such a high esteem? You just didn't care until Jews poured money into it (which brought throngs of illegal Arab migrants) and larger numbers of Jews prayed at their holy site again.
63. #41; LebP, WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.15.11)
Really, how is that possible? Since it Al- Aqsa wasn't built until after his death. So he could never have prayed there. CASE CLOSED BTW, Jerusalem is NOT mentioned anywhere in the Koran, Nor is the the lie that the Prophet Mo, was ever in Jerusalem. Unless you count the "stupid dream at a distant Mosque" (sura 17.1). Which some Islamic scholars argued for years was Medina. Since no city was named, shame on you. Stop the Taqiyya. You see Mohammed died in 632 C.E and From 685-705 CE the Umayyad Caliph Abd-el Malik built the Dome of the Rock. WHOOPS!!!!!!!!!!! Your Prophet Mo, MISSED IT BY OVER 50 YEARS. Don't you feel foolish? Three lies in one sentence, might be record?

Sarah , how many WERE in that march. So much disagreement.One of your children was there-how old is she/he? Would her or his assessment be fairly accurate?
68. William and Mark
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (07.16.11)
Good job, ignoring my response to the other person who questioned that. Read that reply. All I need to say.
69. #32 Eynav - well done!

They are marching to reach a Mirage, which will always be out of their reach REMEMBER THE STORY OF "THE FLYING DUTCHMAN", sailing to and fro, never landing at any port The reason being that "Palestine" is a fiction; there has never been any such country, not once in the annals of History Although I have asked many times for the so-called Palestinian's to prove there ever was a Palestine, they never been able to prove it with facts of any sort
71. #36 neutronomny
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (07.16.11)
No need to conquer what is ours in the fiirst place #35 Israel offered to make peace many a time, what you want is for Israel to capitulate to Arab demands, and that just isn't going to happen GFY
72. I agree with you
Viva PPP ,   U.K   (07.16.11)
You are right, its a waste of time arguing with unknowable morons.
73. #55- you're expecting Islam to follow logic?
William ,   Israel   (07.16.11)
Muslims have this innate ability to cross the boundaries of time and space (apparently). So, Muhammed, though dying in 632 AD from a syphilis induced high fever somehow traveled from Mecca or "the farthest mosque" in a date no one really knows. Muslims swears the destination was Jerusalem (coveniently the holiest site of a competiting major religion) but a mosque was never built there before 705 AD. But it was built there because of Muhammed's alleged journey, but the story reads he visited a mosque there. A typical duplicity in logic. Islamic Scholars can't even agree on where the "farthest mosque" was. Some believe it was Medina which coincidentally, contains the oldest mosque in Islam, built in 622 - 10 years BEFORE Muhammed's death. Just saying.
74. even if Mohammud did really step upon the Temple Mount Area?
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (07.16.11)
so what? do you mean to say that every past step of Mohammed are considered holy ground to moslem, and you guys are round the world claim holy ground every where. "Jerusalem" was NOT even mentioned in your Qur'an, "farthest mountain" is "farthest mountain", why not go and claim Mount Everest?! Then long long long before Mohammed so call "set foot" upon Jerusalem, King David WAS THERE! u guys already has 2 Holy Sites in the world, be contented, the Jews only have ONE HOLY SITE.

they never been able to prove it with facts of any sort Unfortunately is isn't facts that they are full of.
76. Idiots on parade
Bad assed Jew. ,   United States   (07.16.11)
seems not one Israeli flag is shown by these loons lost in Israel. Perhaps they should mass immigrate to Jordan? Or Saudi Arabia? I hear they welcome every live muslim just no others of other religions... I wonder do they have any idea of how much the majority of the world hates them??
77. #42 LEBANON'S SHAME
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (07.16.11)
Your problem is that you can't differentiate between facts & fantasy The expert in False Facts, since he spouts so many of them Muslims, may have at one time faced Jerusalem, once they stopped praying in that direction, it only proved that Jerusalem wasn't as holy to them as Mecca It's like having a wife you toss aside because you found a new one that was more appealing to you "It’s good to see", you saw nothing, you're still hiding in Lebanon, playing pretend participant "Peace & Humanity" as, viewed at the following website, which will give you a clear view of Muslim Humanity www.thereligionofpeace.com Don't forget to comment AFTER you have viewed the website

Tell me , if Jerusalem is so holy for the muslims , why NO SAUDI ruler visited this "el aqsa" mosque during the Jordanian occupation from 1947 to 1967 ? That Saladin allowed Jews to return to Jerusal;em [ i have to check it ] does not make Yertoushalaim the capital of an arab state .
