As violence rages on Temple Mount and throughout Jerusalem, international leaders demand Israel maintain restrictions.
International leaders have called on Israel to continue a ban on Jewish worship on the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site, in order to maintain calm and placate Muslim extremists who have been rioting for three days straight in Jerusalem.
UN coordinator Nickolay Mladenov warned during a Security Council meeting Tuesday that clashes between Palestinian rioters and Israeli security forces could provoke violence by Muslims elsewhere in the Middle East.
"As the Middle East faces a vicious tide of terror and extremism, such serious provocations have the potential to ignite violence well beyond the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem," Mladenov said.
The envoy called for "restraint" and said it was "imperative that the historic status quo is preserved" - namely allowing limited access to Jews to visit, but not pray, at the site.
On Tuesday, clashes at the site spread to Jerusalem's Old City, including an attack by Palestinian terrorists which killed an Israel motorist.
The site of two Jewish temples, the Temple Mount today houses a sprawling Islamic complex built on their ruins, known to Muslims as "Al-Aqsa." Under Israel's peace treaty with Jordan, the Jordanian-run Waqf Islamic trust administers the site, and only Muslims are allowed to conduct any forms of worship.
Jewish groups have been challenging the restrictions to Jewish access in particular in recent years - which also include limits on the numbers of Jews who can visit each day, at certain hours only.

Tell them to piss off and if they are so concerned, maybe they will offer to take in the Muslims who are creating these problems.. Since they obviously are the victims here. /sarc

US mentioned later in article
Meanwhile, United States on Monday condemned "all acts of violence" at on the Temple Mount - and urged the Israeli government not to lift restrictions on Jewish visits.
Besides, nor reason anyone buy Muslims whould be allowed to pray there. Mohammed parked his flying horse there, the State Dept. understands that. Jews, Christians, sorry, no prayers.

This ban is on praying atop the Temple Mount, not at the Western Wall.
And it really doesn't matter where they want to pray, they should be able to pray.
They have some nice firearms built in country, and God was pretty specific about who I should support.

(Do I need a < /sarc> tag on that?)
Everyone else always has to suspend prayer except Muslims.
Who the hell do these people think they are anyway?
US calls on Israel to: list is endless... US calls on the PLO, HAMAS, PFLP, Islamic Jihad, Hizbollah, Iran, Syria, Mujaheddin, ISIS, Boko Harem, Libya, Muslim Brotherhood, Louis Farakhan, North Korea, China, Russia, Cuba to: zero, the US has nothing to say...
Screw the “international leaders”. The Temple Mount belongs to Israel.
Talk about being on the wrong side of history...
Judaism’s holiest site
Maybe they should call on muslims to skip the annual haj to Mecca this year. I can imagine how well that would go over.
Is “rioting” in the genes of moozlums? Is there anything that they don’t find offensive? What a loser culture of uncivilized, violent degenerates.
The Muslim response reminds me of the Star Trek nemisis series
called : "The BORG".
Daniel 12:11? Is it coming or already accomplished?
I'd like to point out to the muzzie bastard in the white hut and his entire arse sucking regime:
In America, we are GUARANTEED Freedom of Speech and Religion and we purport to export our beliefs worldwide. Just because 0bama prays to a muzzie god does not give him or his minions the right to try to restrict Jews or Christians from praying whenever and wherever they choose!
Is that not interfereing in Israel’s affairs?
Maybe the recent crane fall is God’s message to the Muslims.
The big question is if even Jerusalem is even mentioned or not in Koran, that is the name of the holy city. The Bible mentions Jerusalem over 600 times.
Amen to that
