Why is it that the Muslims always build their holy places on top of other people's holy places - ones that have by and large been destroyed by Muslims?
Blow up that stupid Mosque and be done with it.
In case none of you have ever been in a Mosque... the nicest one in the world to see is the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul. The one thing I remember of it the most is the overpowering stench of stinky feet. Muslims must go in without their shoes and walk across all these polyester prayer mats (rugs) that cover the floor. This seems to absorb all the sweat from the smelly feet of the faithful.
The place really reeks inside. Nasty.

Thanks.Temple Mount Wall CollapsesOne side of a wall in the Temple Mount compound - completely visible to worshippers at the Western Wall - collapsed on Tuesday, uncovering an area of some 40 square meters of dirt and fill... Archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar, a member of the Committee to Prevent the Destruction of Temple Mount Antiquities, said that the collapse is connected with the illegal construction works being carried out on the Temple Mount by the Moslem Waqf... "No one is concerned about preserving the ancient compound," she said, "nor has anyone mapped, surveyed or buttressed the hollow areas under the Temple Mount and under the mosques... If a catastrophe occurs, the whole world will blame Israel."

Arafat -- Holy Sites Are First Targets
September 11, 2000 - YOWUSA.COM, Marshall Masters - In a heated interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour last Thursday, Yasser Arafat may have very well revealed where the next conflict will begin if a peace agreement is not reached soon.
The full interview was aired Sunday morning on CNN's World News program, during which Arafat realized that he had slipped up and then abruptly ended the interview by pulling off his clip-on microphone. He then brusquely departed the interview cubicle surrounded by Palestinian staffers with very concerned looks on their faces. Something was said that should have not been said…
…Arafat responded: "First of all, I respect I had mentioned and promised my people, my nation, my religions, the Christianity and Islam and I'm not going to betray them.
I will continue to liberate all Islamic and Muslim holy places. If not (pointing to himself) another one will come along to liberate it."
At this point, Arafat's body language took a pronounced shift. It was obvious that Amanpour's determined efforts were annoying him. He shifted from his usual relaxed demeanor, and began leaning forward in his chair and began insistently pointing a finger at Amanpour.
Another reporter would have read the obvious shift in body language and moved on to a less intrusive question in order to relax the interviewee. However, by this time in the interview Amanpour was likewise becoming more intense if not personal. That was when she framed her next question with a simple statement that obviously inflamed Arafat. "Your people want an economic future."
The impact of this simple statement was obvious, Amanpour was essentially implying is that economics is the main objective for the majority of Palestinians. With that statement the tension between them rose another notch and Arafat said: "We Palestinians our first targets is our land (the land of the holy places)."
At this point, Arafat leaned towards her and asked her if she knew what the holy places were, and after expressing several choppy thoughts suddenly leaned back in his chair and immediately changed his body language. The change was unmistakable. He obviously realized that he had said something that he would not have said, were he in control of the interview.
He feigned a quick smile and announced that the interview was over. He then began pulling the clip-on microphone from his lapel and a very concerned Palestinian aide walked onto the set to help him undo the wireless microphone device.
Without so much as a goodbye, he left leaving his back to a shocked Amampur who could only mumble her thanks for the interview.
An Unfortunate Choice of Language?

They’re blaming the Israelis already.
Shame it isn't true. It would be poetic.

“This digging is a very dangerous phase in the mosque’s history,” Sheikh Raed Salah said in a statement.
Too bad, get ready for the third temple.
In reality, they are setting up the excuse for when the eyesore currently on the mount collapses due to their own "excavations."
BFLR = Bump for later reading
I have a better idea: blast and bulldoze that travesty on the Mount, and kill anybody who decides to riot over it. Kills two birds with one stone...
Recent erosions and cosntruction by Muslims in the area have placed the Western Wall in danger of collapse. This is probably why Israel is doing the excavation.
It is my understanding that it is, in fact, the Arabs' digging under the Temple Mount that is undermining the entire site. The fact that the Muslims are making these accusations is telling.
This is just preliminary dissembling to establish culpability for that time when the entire edifice collapses.
