JERUSALEM - Israeli police stormed a disputed Jerusalem holy site after Muslim prayers on Friday and thousands of worshippers barricaded themselves in the mosque.
Police fired plastic bullets, stun grenades and tear gas in an attempt to disperse hundreds of Palestinian stone throwers. At least six people were wounded.
Officers entered the Al Aqsa Mosque compound after Muslim worshippers threw stones at police deployed nearby, police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.
Mohammed Hussein, a senior official in the Islamic Trust, which administers the mosque compound, tried to calm the situation, urging worshippers to go home, witnesses said. Most left, but several hundred stone throwers remained behind.
The mosque compound is known to Jews as the Temple Mount, site of biblical Jewish temples. The walled site is revered by Muslims and Jews and is one of the flashpoints in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The headline is slanted. The Temple Mount is anything but "disputed." Jewish claims to it pre-date Islam by thousands of years.

What do you expect from militants and insurgents at AP except that they help their terrorist friends.

The Temple Mount should be open to everyone.

The AlAqsa mosque is nothing but another example of the islammite penchant for building mosques overtop of everybody elses churches and synagogues. I'd pay a hundred dollars right now to watch the Israelis dismantle it to the last stone and dump the debris over the border of Saudi Arabia.

No rag-head should be allowed on the temple mount, except to denounce the evil of Islam.

They left their mosque peacefully. My guess is that they didn't want to have a standoff like they did at the Holy Church. It would force them to defile their mosque like they did the Church and this time there would be no priests to clean up after their excrement.

I firmly believe that if the Ark or something else that is important to Jews and Christians turned up in Omaha, Nebraska, the islamics would claim that Omaha is "The holiest site in all islam..."
