Citing intelligence alerts over possible violence, Jerusalem police on Thursday barred 70 Muslim couples from getting married on the Temple Mount, police said.

The unusual weekday measure prevented all Muslim men under the age of 40 - including the grooms - from entering the Jerusalem holy site after police received information over disturbances at the compound after prayers due to the war in the North.

Muslims hold Wedding Masses?

Who knew?

It's just as well that it was canceled. Those events always seem to attract falling bombs in that part of the world.

And they banned the goats too.

Must be they don't want to have to put up with all that goat poop on the Temple Mount.

The Temple Mount is thoroughly Jewish, and has nothing to
do with Islam. In fact the entire Holy Land is Jewish and the occupiers are the so-called Palestinians, not the Jews.

40 Muslim couples getting married at once?

Wow, imagine how many anti-aircraft weapons and bomb stashes you'd have to put together to pull that off?...all the while denying they were there of course.

The Temple Mount is thoroughly Jewish, and has nothing to do with Islam.

That hasn't been true for over 1,000 years. Both mosques date back to soon after the Muslim armies took Jerusalem from the Byzantines.

History shows that the Jews of Jerusalem supported the Muslim invaders, and there was little if any objection to the building of the mosque on a hill that had contained nothing but debris for centuries.

Why do Muslims marry at all , if all they are going to do is kill people, each other, and sacrifice their children for their religion? Seems rather odd./?
