The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) voted recently to officially declare Rachel's Tomb to be a mosque. UNESCO director Irena Bokova had previously stated “concern” at Israel's decision to treat the tomb as a heritage site.
The vote called for Rachel's Tomb and the Tomb of the Patriarchs – the burial site of the other Biblical Patriarchs and Matriarchs – to be removed from Israel's National Heritage list.
The Palestinian Authority has claimed that Rachel's Tomb is holy to Muslims as the site of a mosque called the Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque. The PA demands control over both the tomb and the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hevron, as well as the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

One of these days His descendants are going to receive the lands of that promise, and there will be many unhappy Muslims and their friends.
The UN is a mosque!

And Islam came 500+ years after Christ....so........I call BS.
The UN is one the biggest mistakes in the history of mankind.
You got that right!

He was the first multiculturalism icon. He was the first muezzin, and had a really beautiful voice, and he was black, thereby proving that Islam isn’t racist. What this has to do with Rachel’s tomb, I still don’t know.
