Jerusalem The Holiest City In The World by plappville(f): 3:02pm On Oct 15, 2015
I have tired of seeing violence video on the media about this Beauty city called Jerusalem. So i have come up with some worried questions.

Jerusalem is one of the oldest city and the holiest city in the world. This city is supposed to be a HOLY CITY for the people of the Book (the bible) as muhammed call them. tongue my question is this. What is. What is Islam holy site doing there? Why didnt islam mentain thier holy sites in Meccan and Medina instead fighting to over take the Jews? How many Holy sites should a true religion have? Do the Christian OR Judaism have a holy site in Saudi? If no why?

Re: Jerusalem The Holiest City In The World by Rich4god(m): 3:09pm On Oct 15, 2015
I am not siding any party on this issue. But there is nothing wrong in having multiple holy site by a religion. But the problem now is mostly not about religion, but about power. On the part of Israel, they are trying to protect their citizens from the threat of terrorist cells in Gaza/pakistan... While on the other hand, the Muslims are seeing it as Israeli occupation of Al Aqsa mosque. What ever be the case, their shld be a diplomatic way out of this. But its like na only gun some people like. Them no dey write terrorist for face, so Israelis might be right in putting up a blockage.

My own is... Why havent the UN waded into this matter.
Re: Jerusalem The Holiest City In The World by Rich4god(m): 3:16pm On Oct 15, 2015
Just like the Israeli PM said.... "They are the reason why Al Aqsa mosque is still standing in a safe zone".... I was wondering what that meant, until I remeber what ISIS to some Mosque of ancient heritage in SYria/Iraq... and with terrorist cell springing up in Pakistan, anything is possible. But then, the should be a peaceful way out.

Its about land and power... Gaza/Pakistan is a mixture of muslims and christians. Even, in hte last xmas, christians from gaza where denied entrance into the Church of Nativity in holy land. So you see. Except if you will tell me its a fight betwwen the jews and other religions.

What are the historical reasons that make each of these religions to have a holy site on the Temple mount?

Is there the word Jerusalem in each of thier book.Torah, bible and koran? Please share what you know. Thank you.
Re: Jerusalem The Holiest City In The World by Rich4god(m): 4:00pm On Oct 15, 2015
The holy site originally belong to the Jews.... After the ressurection of Christ, Christians now call some prominent sites that are associated with Christ "holy" later on made them a place of pilgrimage... Eg is the site of nativity, the tomb, the site of ascension, transfiguration etc.... Along the line, the Islamic jihadist conquered jerusalem, destroyed some of those site and converted others to mosque. Then came crusaders and the knight templars that sacked the jihadist. But there was some little trouble among the Christians, due to denomination, so the muslims didnt really leave. And thats why all 3 have a place in the city of jerusalem. Am not a historian, but something close to this is what happened.

Thank you very much. Looking at the bible, we will all agree that Jerusalem is originally a Jewish territory. Just like the Muslim's have Mecca as thier holiest site.
The holiest book of Islam is the Koran, which according to muslim tradition contains the teachings of MUhamed from all.ah. Unlike the Jewish Bible which contains hundreds of references to Jerusalem, the word "Jerusalem" appears nowhere in the Koran. So what is the Islamic spiritual connection to the site? They face mecca when they pray from Jerusalem, this shows this sight is not truelly mean to them, but as usual, they have mant thier mosque there to distract and make war with the true ower. History has proved that Muhammed himself has never made it to Jerusalem with his conquering armies, it was his successor, the "Caliph Omar", who captured Jerusalem from the Byzantines in 638. When Omar first visited the ruined {Temple mount,} he deliberately prayed south of the ruins of the Temple, toward Mecca, so that no one should think he was praying in the same direction as the Jews. The Muslim cannot pray facing Jerusalem. So whats the sense callin it thier holy site? undecided
Imagin the Jews go to Mecca and claim a site to be thier holy site, Blood will flow endlessly. . undecided All i see is still the AIM to dominate. But what will allah gain by forcing people to him?

Well, that will be a story for another day. But just understand, assuming the crusaders didn't reclaim Jerusalem, that place would have been under their full custody, and of course, a holy site to them since some of the people they consider prophets did live in Jerusalem.

You last paragraph sha... Things have changed na. Before, if the crusader wanted to and have the strength, they can invade mecca/Medina... Then the people wey strong pass go win. Cos no UN to regulate anything.

But now such fight isn't possible except the type that ISIS are doing now, which doesn't have the support of the entire Muslim.

Apart from the temple of Jerusalem, I don't think there is any other "holy site" described or mentioned in the bible. Others where built by the "not-so-early Christians and then it turned into a pilgrim site.

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. Muslims 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 followed 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]

You are right. After the Babylonian destruction took place, most of the Jewish population of Israel was forcibly exiled from thier land. This forced exile on the road to Babylon is mentioned in the famous verse from Psalm 137: "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion."

Roughly fifty years later, after Babylon was captured by Persia, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem. Under the leadership of Zerubavel and Nechemiah, the Jews rebuilt both the Temple and walls around the city (Nechemia 4-6). They are the right owner of this site. Islam position there is based on a false revelation given by all.ah as usual. No wonder the mosque in Jerusalem is Islam 3rd holy site.’THINK OF IT: why not thier first site if its that important for them? undecided

WhY WILL THERE BE PEACE IN JERUSALEM WHEN ISLAM IS PRESENT? YOU THINK U CAN COME HERE AND FAKE PEOPLE AS U DO IN THE ISLAMIC SECTION. OF COUSE WE CANT ACCEPT TO CONFESS to accept MUHAMED in other to enter the islam forum. 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.

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.
