> could lead to violence and bloodshed

Would anyone notice, though?

"We remind, for the 1,000th time, that the entire Al-Aqsa mosque, including all of its area and alleys above the ground and under it, is exclusive and absolute Moslem property, and no one else has any rights to even one grain of earth in it."

I've always wondered why the Jews let the Shrine to Satan continue to stand...

[wastoute]

Bulldoze the abomination.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque needs to be leveled and Jerusalem brought fully back into Israel, once and for all. God gave that land to the Jews over 2500 years ago...the Muslims have no claim except that which they have given themselves, by force. And if force is needed to remove them, then force is what should be used.

I am sick of the Muslim LIES!!!!!

Jerusalem belonged to the Israelites before Mo ever hit the planet.

The Koran NEVER mentions Jerusalem- not ONCE! NOT ONCE!

They have NO claim....

I hear the Mosque's foundations were crumbling - there's a lot of soil in the runoff every time it rains on the Temple Mount. Has anyone else heard this?

What a great way to acquire real estate. Choose the site, and then declare it an essential holy place of your religion. Ignore the fact that others were there first.

"The Temple Mount in Jerusalem was the site of the two Jewish Holy Temples, the first of which was built by King Solomon in the year 832 BCE, close to 1,500 years before Islam was founded."

Why are the Muslims allowed within 50 miles of the Temple Mount?

Sheikh Raad Salah - head of the Islamic Movement in Israel, a Hamas supporter, and an outspoken enemy of Israel - warns that Israeli plans to build a synagogue on the Temple Mount could lead to violence and bloodshed.

And not doing anything will lead to violence and bloodshed. What is the point?

If Jews would have been smart, they would have blown that mosque off that site during their first war with the Muslims.

That question should be posed every time some towelhead holds a news conference or public gathering. How these barbarians can claim that ground as their own is beyond my comprehension.

Memo to Sheik Raad Salah from Virginia: Sheik, you can kindly go and kiss the blade end of a power mower!

The temple of solomon stood long before mad mo was a sperm cell in his pappa's nutsac. Its holy ground to jews and christians not muslims,period. Bulldoze the mount and rebuild the temple of solomon Israel.

The less-violent solution is the sensible one in this case.

Israel should take control over ALL holy sites in their nation. Making it very clear that the religions of the world who honor these sites will have liberal access to them.

They may use the sites freely, but they are the property of the nation of Israel. NO other nation or religion can claim ownership of ANY of them.

And that they are allowed use of these sites ONLY so long as they behave themselves. This means:

NO violence

NO advocacy of violence

NO fights between religions

NO changes to holy sites without Israeli permission

This also gives the Israelis tremendous leverage. Say for example, if the Wahabbis who run al-Asqa misbehave, then Israel can turn over management of al-Asqa to the Sufis.

Even the threat of doing this would scare the Wahabbis silly.

But the bottom line must be to let everyone know that ALL HOLY SITES IN ISRAEL ARE OWNED BY ISRAEL. NO ONE ELSE MAY CLAIM OWNERSHIP OVER ANY HOLY SITE.

In the Six Day War of 1967, the modern state of Israel liberated the Temple Mount area, placing all of Jerusalem under Jewish control once again after a hiatus of 1,900 years.
Israel, however, never actualized its sovereignty over the holy Temple Mount site, but rather granted the Moslem Waqf nearly total control. Jews, in fact, have not been allowed to pray there ever since then-Chief IDF Rabbi Shlomo Goren led a prayer service there on the first Tisha B'Av after the liberation.

I have read many many versions of the Six Day War, but I do not recall any explanation for this fatal lapse in judgement on the part of the Israelis. There must have been much pressure on the Jews from the United States, among others, to make this happen. In retrospect, a huge mistake.
