“We will make every effort to protect the mosque, and we hereby announce the operation of dozens of buses that will bring thousands of people to al-Aqsa every day so they may defend it,” Ynet quoted Salah as saying.
“We will redeem the mosque with blood and fire,” he declared, to roaring cheers from the mob.
Salah's tirade comes close on the heels of a pledge last week by Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar to continue the group's terrorist war against the Jews until “the flag of Islam is raised over Jerusalem.”
Islam views as an affront renewed Jewish control over the holy city, after the followers of Mohammed conquered and subjugated Jerusalem more than 1,500 years earlier.
Muslims fear the Jews will one day rebuild their temple to the God of Israel, in accordance with biblical prophecies. With that in mind, today's adherents to Islam have broken with their own tradition and with history in claiming the Jews have no connection to the Temple Mount.
The prophets foretell that once the temple is rebuilt, the Messiah will descend and establish his throne on that holy hill. The Muslims have sealed off the Mount's eastern gate (also known as the Golden Gate) in an apparent attempt to deny him entry. JNW Site Search

I have a better idea. Israel blows the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa to Hell, where they belong.
The Star of David will fly over all of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, forever.
Israel was laying siege to the Al Aqsa Mosque that occupies the holy site by installing a new security system to ensure Muslims could no longer hurl stones from the top onto Jewish worshipers at the Western Wall below.
How dare the Zionist Entity interfere with the sacred right
of Muslims to brain jews with large stones.

Guess they're still reading from the wrong book - the true Messiah is Jesus Christ (Jewish, not muslim) and he will descend and will reign forever...Problem is, they're hatred for the Jews keeps them blind to any hope of the truth.
I think Sheikh Raad Salah has a BIG surprise coming!
Apparently Gaza wasn't enough, so just give 'em the West Bank and maybe they'll go away for good this time.
This man's future will be his head on a pike.
We won't help you, stupid muzzies.
Islam is an aggressive, authoritarian religion.
I like that idea...
I believe the sealing off of the Golden Gate was done like 500 years ago. But that won't stop what is prophesied. I find it amazing Muslims deny that there ever was a Temple there, but just in case, I guess they feel a need to prevent something from happening.The only reason they are on the Temple Mount now is the government of Israel keeps its own people off the Mount to avoid violence.Once that ban is lifted. All bets are off.
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Shema Israel, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad!
Oh yes, that ought to do the trick. He descends from the clouds with a flaming sword, with angels, archangels, and all the Heavenly host, only to find the way blocked by those tricksy Muslims. Curses! Foiled again!
