In prayer, Jews face Jerusalem but Muslims face Mecca

The late Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren Sounds the Shofar (Ram’s Horn) upon the Recapture in June, 1967 of Jerusalem’s holy Jewish site, the Western Wall, from Jordanian Muslim occupation

Jerusalem Unification Day has again been celebrated in Israel and throughout the world with the exception of that 7th century alternate universe: the Muslim world.

It marks 44 years since the amazing and miraculous event took place when the Jewish people’s 3,000 year old capital city was restored to the Jewish state in the 1967 Six-Day War.

For 19 long years from 1948 to 1967, Jordan had occupied Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and the eastern half of Jerusalem. Only Pakistan and Britain had ever recognized Jordan’s illegal occupation.

 

The British officered Jordanian Arab Legion had forced out at gunpoint the Jewish residents of the Old City and the neighboring Jewish villages: It was Apartheid and ethnic cleansing, Arab style.

The Legion went on to desecrate the Jewish graves on the ancient Mount of Olives and use the headstones as latrines. They desecrated over 50 synagogues and forbade Jewish pilgrims to worship at their holy places. They had turned the Via Delarosa, the Way of the Cross, into a filthy, sewerage strewn alley through which Christian pilgrims were forced to walk.

Jordan cut the Holy City in half ...

There is a Pastor here in Maine, that is known for his outspoken fundamental preaching, one of the things he is constantly telling folk is that “words have meanings”.

I just asked him about what you said: “I heard from religious authorities that the ‘cult’ of radical Islam [that believes in suicide/homicide/killing missions ‘for allah’] is considered idol worshiping.”

His answer: “Worship of anything but the Trinity, is idol worship”.

So, I would say that you are right.

You got it, Islamofacism is at war with the Christian faith.
