Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday urged all Muslims to visit and protect Jerusalem after violence broke out over metal detectors that Israel installed and later removed from a sensitive holy site in the city.

"From here I make a call to all Muslims. Anyone who has the opportunity should visit Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa mosque," Erdogan said in Ankara. "Come, let's all protect Jerusalem."

He was referring to the site, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, which is central to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Thanks for ping.

First the “so called” Palestinians attacked Israeli guards to entrance of Temple Mount so Israeli’s put in metal detector to prevent further terrorist attacks.

The Truth is not a part of an Islamist like Erdogan the dictator of Turkey.

Israeli in response did not stutter>

Before “Sulieman the Great was Saladin the Magnificent (he was a Kurd).

Kurds have long history of being great soldiers. The Syrian Kurds accept any faith among them. Many Christians are in their communities.

Turkey has the most tanks and airplanes of any ME nation. They may not anylonger have the best soldiers.

IIRC, Suleyman the Magnificent didn’t care what his officials’ religions were as long as they were competent in their jobs.

His Grand Vizier, who answered only to him, is said have been a Jew.

If Erdogan is as what U desribed above, the ME would have a different flavor....

All Christians should visit and protect Hagia Sophia in occupied Constantinople.
