Access to Temple Mount for Muslims restricted
Jerusalem Post ^ | 7/7/6 | ETGAR LEFKOVITS

Posted on 07/06/2006 3:10:13 PM PDT by SmithL

For the second week in a row, Jerusalem police announced late Thursday that they will be imposing restrictions on Muslim entrance to the holy site on Friday due to the ongoing security tensions in the country.

All Arab men under the age of 45 will be barred from Friday midday prayers due to security concerns, police said, with only those above 45 with Israeli ID cards - as well as women of any age - allowed into the ancient compound.

The police restrictions come after escalating violence following the abduction of IDF soldier Cpl. Gilad Shalit nearly two weeks ago.

Police sporadically close off the bitterly contested Jerusalem holy site to younger male Arabs on Fridays during times of high tension, and following multiple alerts over possible violence at the compound.

They realize and understand that it's YOUNG moozlims that cause the havoc..of course, if this were done here, the PC police would be screaming "profiling"..

--women of any age --

&&
I am not so sure it is a good idea to allow women of any age. There have been female suicide bombers. Also, what's to stop one of these oh so brave mohammedan men from dressing up like a woman with a bomb under his garments?

Since they like the place so much, let's dismantle it and move it to Amman.

The koranus that's what! Why dress up and kill yourself? Just beat one or more of your wives into a submission of death!

The burqua is used for running like the coward muuuhhamhead (Pigs be inseminating him.
