You muslims know the unique reason why Islam is connected to the site? This reason is found in the koran 17 Sura. It recounts the story of a dream Mohammed has where he takes a midnight ride grin ( al-Isra) on his flying horse al-Buraq, which had the face of a woman, the body of a horse and the tail of Peacock. The narrative of the Koran in Sura 17 describes it as follows:

Glory be to Him, who carried His servant by night from the Holy Mosque (in Mecca) to the further mosque (al-masjid al-Aqsa), the precincts of which we have blessed." The actual location of al-Aqsa (the further mosque) in Mohammed's dream ride is never mentioned. Early Muslims understood al-Aqsa metaphorically, or as a place in heaven. It was in late 7th century, the Umayyids claimed that the actual site of al-Aqsa was in fact the Temple Mount. Later the site of al-Aqsa was restricted to the mosque area at the southern end of the Temple Mount (the site of the current Al Aqsa Mosque). The original mosque, probably located on the site where Omar first prayed when he arrived in Jerusalem in 638, was built by the Umayyid Caliph al-Walid in the early 8th century. History even tells that it was destroyed by earthquakes several times and later rebuilt. If not for the false revelation of Muhammad, there wont be a mosque built There. Falsehood results to false claim.. undecided

So Op and others can not differentiate btw a Jew and Judaism?. Anyways, we live that for another day. As holy as Jerusalem can be, controlled by Zionist Jews, is the real reason this Holy City of Qudus (Jerusalem) is not peaceful. When it was Muslims in control it was peaceful. Now it's controlled by Jews and it's like hell on earth. Evidences are as clear as day light. Look at Mecca and Medina and see how peaceful they are under Muslim rule. Refer to my signature, please.

Qur'an speaks about "Jerusalem" a lot without mentioning its name. It's referred to in the Quran as "Holy Land". Holy Land in the Quran is not Mecca and Medina. However, one may find "Al-Qudus" in Hadith and Islamic literature used for Jerusalem. Muslim know too well holy land in the Quran is Jerusalem. You guys have a lot to learn from Muslims.

The oldest Holy city in the world and the holiest is Mecca followed by Medina follwed by Al-Qudus. Quran also refers to Al-Qudus(Jerusalem) as Al-ard Muqaddasah. You can search internet for "Al-ard Muqaddasah" and read for yourself. Al-ard Muqaddasah means a Blessed Land.


Finally, whats the noise about "honor killing" attributed to Islam?. Bigots can read this. [size=15pt]Religious Parents Beat Son To Death Inside Church Sanctuary For Refusing To Confess His Sins.[/size]

I dream of visiting his shrine as a symbol of of appreciation for what he did/contributed to the black race and hopefully sleep there if they let me. I was furious at you calling Jerusalem a holy land when it's had no positive contribution to Africa. Like I said you opened the thread to get multiple opinions.

The general problem now is Israeli occupation of Gaza and the numerous terrorist cells that are springing up in Palestine/Gaza. When Jerusalem was under Muslim control, no body was barred from the holy Land, but non Muslims got to pay fine.

And prior to the Gaza crisis, no religion was barred from accessing their holy land.

Israel is not occupying Gaza, in fact Israel completely withdrew from Gaza in 2005 except you are talking of the blockade they put in place after Hamas took over the leadership of Gaza.

You are so clueless. You have no idea of the history of the prophet(SAW) and in Medina where dealt with Jews whose qibla was towards Jerusalem and he joined them facing same direction (Jerusalem) before it was changed. Anyways, we live that story for another day. By the way, it is clear we are talking about Masjid and or 'Jewish temple' here. But you are a christian. Clearly, you have no business in Jerusalem and Middle east. You have no reference(Christianity) and claim to the Holy place whatsoever other than Jesus(AS) was born there. So now you defending the very same people who killed you man-god. You are puzzled indeed!

You level of reasoning is very shallow. You have just proved it. Do you have to single out the action of one parents to tag Christianity? Can you bring out a verses from the Christians bible teaching parents should beat thier kids to death if they refused to confess thier sin. Only then will you make sense. Did Jesus kill? Did he forgive sins? Did her authorised killing if a sinner refuses to denounce his sin? Answer there question with the bible then u make sense. I can show u verse from the koran where Muhammad authorised killing, hence the all terrorists attack we see today.

THATS WHY YOU HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO POST ALL UR LIES IN DEFENDING ISLAM. There is no peace in Mecca either, and by the way, if the Jews built a Synagogue about 50 meters away from the so called holy site of Mecca, blood will flow each passing day. Dont comehere and tell me you know my parentvand grand parents more than me. Islam is a fabrication. Thier site is Jerusalem is just for a purpose.
Whats this nonsense all about?. Who forces you to make Islamic declaration? yeye. You still defending your man-god killers. Dont you think you make absolutely no sense.

And where is bombs going off in Mecca and Medina?. You can hardly see that. The reason is in the Quran because it is a place of PEACE & SECURITY.

Qur'an speaks. (2:125)

"Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma'il, that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer)."

I have Interest my dear. That same site was where the lord Jesus worshiped. The bible teaches that Jesus worshiped at Herod’s Temple and it was there that He prophesied the destruction of the temple.(Matthew 24:1–2). Jesus’ prophecy was fulfilled when the temple was destroyed by the Roman army in AD 70.

[24 Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”



So now you defending the very same people who killed you man-god. You are puzzled indeed!

I am a Christian not muslim. Who am i to hate the Jews because they killed Jesus? It was a prophecy that was fulfilled. Jesus himself forgave the Jews for what they did.

See who is calling someone olodo is the biggest olodo in NL. Islam was not there. The platform /temple Mount area that sustained the Dome of the Rock and Mosque was built in the first century AD under the rule of Herod the Great as part of his "rebuilding" of the second Jewish Temple. How can Islam mosque be there at this time when the terror founder himself was not born? That site belongs to the JEWISH people.
