JERUSALEM, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Israeli police in riot gear stormed the square outside Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque, one of Islam's holiest sites, to disperse stone throwers.

The operation followed Palestinians stoning Jewish worshippers at Judaism's Western Wall, which is below the mosque, Ha'aretz reported.

Wondering if Abe Foxman is too busy to notice...

[Migraine]

The suicide bomber died from the explosion, but no one else was hurt...

Hot dog! A blew-eyed ragtime cowboy. One blew this way and one blew that way.

Bullclinton! Some "holy site" -- it's not even mentioned in the koran!

[small voice in the wilderness]

Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque, one of Islam's holiest sites

Future wording of this sentence: Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque, one of Islam's holiest holes. I believe that time is coming. And soon.

[NYC GOP Chick]

From your lips to G-d's ears...

[kcvl]

Yes, he is too busy to care...

Meanwhile, a suicide bomber riding a bicycle blew himself up near the greenhouse area of Kfar Daron in the center of the Gaza Strip. The suicide bomber died from the explosion, but no one else was hurt, the Jerusalem Post reported.

I guess it would be insensitive to laugh?

So, how bout I just mutter "idiot runined a good bike" under my breath and laugh later.

[Guillermo]

Every Mohammedan should be expelled, permanently, from the Temple Mount.

[roadcat]

Why don't they finally do the right thing and shoot them?

That's insensitive of you. We should recognize their traditions. Strap a grenade on each of them, pull the pin, and send them to allah and their happiness.

[concentric circles]

It would seem that most journalists are unbelievers as they consistently fail to mention the significance of the Temple Mount to Christians.

Many of the exact locations central to the life and teachings of Jesus are disputable but of the Temple Mount one can be most certain that this is the place where Jesus was brought by his loving parents as a babe in arms for the ceremonial sacrifice of redemption of the first-born son.

Here he was welcomed in ceremony for the first time as a man of the Hebrew nation and used his newly acquired status to sit at the feet of the Rabbis as they taught and to astound all present with the unusual sagacity and probing nature of his questions.

Here the people heard him gladly as he taught in the public areas of the Temple and they witnessed his indignation at the noisy commerce in the house of the God of all peoples.

Here he dared to return with his message of spiritual hope in spite of the knowledge that those in power, regarding Jesus as a threat, plotted his destruction.

And it was here where the tiny infant was welcomed by Simeon, who sang in praise:

"... you, child of promise, shall be called the prophet of the Most High;
For you shall go before the face of the Lord to establish his kingdom;
To give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins.
Rejoice in the tender mercy of our God because the dayspring from on high has now visited us
To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death;
To guide our feet into the ways of peace.
And now let your servant depart in peace, Oh Lord, according to your word,
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
Which you have prepared before the face of all peoples..."

Someday, all will be welcome here, to pray and worship and rejoice.

We should recognize their traditions. Strap a grenade on each of them, pull the pin, and send them to allah and their happiness.

I think the Israelis should buy that 1 ton pig carcass from the Chinese, fill it with another ton or two of explosives, and then drop it right on top of the place.

* Gibson's 'Passion of Christ' A Potential Setback for Christian-Jewish Relations

Sorry, but in the real world, this should read:

Abe Foxman's and the ADL's reaction to Gibson's 'Passion of Christ' A Potential Setback for Christian-Jewish Relations

There's that's better!

This is one Jew who supports Mel all the way! (even though I haven't seen the movie, and probably won't).

And my reaction to the story of Geffen and Katzenberg swearing that they'll never work with Mel Gibson again? Well, I'll be sure to see any new movies that Mel does, and avoid anything that they do.

I thought that Hollywood was against "blacklists!"

I'm sorry, but unless you "riot after prayers," you probably shouldn't be on the Temple Mount.

I have been appalled by the things the Muslims have been doing there, attacking Jews and obviously trying to eliminate Christians from the equation altogether.

[Imal]

May I live to see it.

[Monty22]

Shall it not be a hole, but a new recreation of the Holiest of Holies!

[Hank Rearden]

Bullclinton! Some "holy site" -- it's not even mentioned in the koran!

Anywhere their Founding Child-Molester reputedly took a dump is an automatic "holy site" to the Moos. So, pretty much anywhere is fair game for these cockroaches.

Now if they would all do that
