Do you live in Israel? Do you walk by the Dome everyday?

You are speaking outside of your head. You are a non-believer. Go with the other non-believers here on FR, for they are myriad.

Honestly, I had to ask the question. But I now digress. If you don't believe, then, your opinion doesn't count one whit to those of us who do.

BTTT. The agnostic, atheist and irreligious, think they're smart in their presumptive "detached" perception. In point of fact their detachment is as ideologically based as religious perception. But the real point here is that such a perception is a cynical view of history and archeaology. It matters not to these that the Islamics are destroying and desecrating important artifacts. The act of archeaological cleansing (just like the iconoclasm of the Taliban) is a denial of the historical reality and continuity of a people (in the context of the Temple Mount the Jews and by inference Christians as well). It is an attempt to do what Islam has done wherever it has ruled - reduce the conquered dhimmi to a subservient people whose history is lost in the Islamic conquest.

This type of historical cleansing, a process which effected to a devastating degree Eastern Christianity, was seen recently in Kosovo with the destruction by the Islamic Albanians (with the help of mujahadeen from around the Islamic world) of at least one hundred Orthodox Churches and important Orthodox sites, and the funding by Saudi Arabia for the building of mosques in their place, is the kind of Islamic process which, if not addressed and dealt with, will leave masses of people without a history and place. Anyone who considers this of no moment is callous, cynical and as bad as the perpetrators themselves.
