[Telepathic Intruder]

The general populace was probably replete with ignorance, but those who built the temple must have known what they were doing. What holier site is there for Jews? None. Am I making assumptions? Probably, but I would need to be convinced otherwise if they’re wrong. It still doesn’t change my opinion that this is a Jewish holy site, not a Muslim one. Jerusalam isn’t even mentioned in the Quran.

[muawiyah]

i think they call it Al Quds in Arabic but that's neither here nor there. It is sufficiently remarkable to me that in an age of almost totally abject poverty some fellow thought to build a sturdy cover for the Altar.

Maybe it meant the same to him as it does to you!
