I read the article - and the old photos of the Holy Land are certainly beautiful.

However, the article is amazingly racist and ignorant.

The French photographer has, in fact, photographed mosques. The biggest of them is the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. The article claims it is a ‘confiscated synagogue’ but that’s nonsense. The Temple was destroyed by the Romans and not rebuilt.

Yup. Al aqsa has been on the temple mount for a long time. It is The abomination that brings desolation.

You are confusing a comment about a temple with The Temple. There are lots of temples that have nothing to do with the Roman destruction, and lots of mosques outside Mecca that have nothing to do with Mohammed’s horse.

The Dome of the Rock is not now, and never has been, a mosque.

Notice, too, the grass growing out of all the cracks in the pavement surrounding the Dome and the total absence of people in the pictures of it.
