Thanks for the scholarship and thanks for caring. Muslims ravishing the Jewish Temple hurts the Christian heritage too.

It hurts everybody's heritage, even if you are Chinese. The Phoenicians were global traders and the people of Israel were their allies in that trade. For those interested in the propagation of ideas as a way to understand history, such artifacts are key. There is little doubt that together with the Phoenicians, Jerusalem was a crossroads of the world. There may be records there of the mines of Ophir, contacts in Indonesia, and goodness knows what else.

Destroying that site is a crime against humanity.

Muslims ravishing the Jewish Temple hurts the Christian heritage too.

Part of the Christian heritage is having turned the Temple Mount into a garbage dump.
