PA chief Mahmoud Abbas's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) has issued special instructions to members of the international media, urging them to stop using the term "Temple Mount," and to instead refer to the holy site as "the Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound" or "Haram al-Sharif/Noble Sanctuary."
In a blatant attempt to impose a discourse erasing any reference to the Jewish character of the site, the PLO "media advisory" claims that the "Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound, sometimes referred to as the Noble Sanctuary (“Haram al-Sharif” in Arabic), is the compound that contains Al Aqsa building itself, ablution fountains, open spaces for prayer, monuments and the Dome of the Rock building. This entire area enclosed by the walls which spans 144 dunums [sic] (almost 36 acres), forms the Mosque."
It adds (inaccurately) that the area "has been under exclusive Muslim control since the construction of the Dome of the Rock in 692 CE," stating further that it is "sacred to approximately 1.6 billion Muslims around the world, and a symbol for all Palestinians" - but notably ignores the fact that it is also the holiest site in Judaism.
Claiming that since Israel's presence in "East-Jerusalem" is "illegal," it concludes that "All international media representatives are advised to adhere to international law and correct any other existing terminology used. The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is not a disputed territory and all other terms, therefore, are null and void."

I prefer “soon-to-be Third Temple” myself.
Both those answer work for me!
Dear PLO,
Go f—k yourselves.

18 On that day Gad went to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” 19 So David went up, as the Lord had commanded through Gad. 20 When Araunah looked and saw the king and his officials coming toward him, he went out and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
21 Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?”
“To buy your threshing floor,” David answered, “so I can build an altar to the Lord, that the plague on the people may be stopped.”
22 Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take whatever he wishes and offer it up. Here are oxen for the burnt offering, and here are threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood. 23 Your Majesty, Araunah[d] gives all this to the king.” Araunah also said to him, “May the Lord your God accept you.”
24 But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”
So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels[e] of silver for them. 25 David built an altar to the Lord there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the Lord answered his prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.

As in any legal real Estate transaction, the requirements include:
1. Name of the Buyer
2. Name of the seller
3. Description of the Property
4. Price paid in consideration
In addition, the transaction needs to be recorded for public viewing so as to be a permanent witness to the sale.
This is the “Purchase and Sale Agreement” for the TEMPLE MOUNT.
There is a similar transaction recorded in Genesis for the “Cave of Machpela” in Hevron.
So what would the PLOs like us to call the Temple Mount? Woody’s Wings and Beer?
Ok, but is camel mount still good? How about goat mounters?
I am still going to use the term “Temple Mount”, maybe even more now that I know it bothers these bugs.

You forgot the “nanner-nanner boo boo!”

That phrase has a rhythm that goes VERY well with a theme by Rossini:
Temple Mount, Temple Mount, Temple Mount Mount Mount,
Temple Mount, Temple Mount, Temple Mount Mount Mount,
Temple Mount, Temple Mount, Temple Mount Mount Mount,
And the Mosque? It just does not count.
(”Lone Ranger” theme for the operatically challenged)
I think those muslims have their followers convinced that no building existed atop the TEMPLE MOUNT prior to the construction of that mosque. They are THAT crazy....
That is one squat, ugly, evil looking building. It is Islam’s upraised middle finger in Jerusalem.
It should be destroyed.
Lies. The crusaders held Jerusalem until 1187.
Disassemble All Aqsa brick by brick, tile by tile.
It’s the Temple Mount, and one day Muslims will no choice but to call it that.
18 Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the Lord.
20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the Lord: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.
24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the Lord; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
