Very cool article.
From the article: “Nonetheless, archaeologists have had little opportunity to search for physical evidence to sort legend from reality. For one thing, the site remains a place of active worship. The authority that controls the compound, an Islamic council called the Waqf, has long forbidden archaeological excavations, which it views as desecration.”
So much for truth and science, eh?

Has anyone ever found one single “Palestinian” artifact?
A scroll. A tablet, Marriage certificate, list of rulers..anything?

Don’t these bitch-ass infidels know that if these 2000-5000 year old artifacts fail to look like 500-year old Mohammedan pieces their whole project could be defunded? LOSE that monotheistic idiocy and GO FOR THE GOLD! Allahu Akbar, MoFo!

Among Muslims, the Temple Mount is called Haram al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary). They believe it was here that the Prophet Muhammad ascended to the Divine Presence on the back of a winged horse
...named Buraq. Coincidence?

Also the muslim claims aren’t true. Jerusalem isn’t even mentioned at all in the Koran, not one single time.

I think today would be a good time in history for Israel to remove Islam from her borders. Every damned polluted and abomnible stone.

I understand your sentiment, but think it would be a better idea if God removed Islam from Israel’s borders.
I pray He will, in His own time.

Have you seen those videos of the UFO hovering over the Dome? Kinda interesting with that whole “Muhammed rose to the heavens on a winged horse” claim.

Muslims are just copying the OT where it is written that the prophet Elijah ascended upward and disappeared.

Islamic council called the Waqf, has long forbidden archaeological excavations, which it views as desecration What a bunch of crap. The Muslims have been caught dumping tons of Jewish history into dumpsters and carting it away. And it is all the Israelis own fault for permitting this historical crime, which only harms their legitimate claims, and aides the imaginary one of the Islamists. Just disgusting to see those footbaths defiling where the altars of Solomon's Temple once stood.

Well, the good news about all the crazy increased seismic activity is that any day now, that Dome of Abomination could be reduced to ruble in about a minute and a half.
