Its a holy site to Christians, too.

Al Aqsa mosque is built square atop Mt Moriah and the huge rock said to be the site where Abraham was asked by God to offer his son Issac in sacrifice.

Christians ought to be vocal in their offense at being forbidden open access to this site.

Solomons temple was completed in 825 BCE. Al Aqsa mosque was built about 1400 years later.

Let's get it right.
The secular materialists have tried to change everything from BC and AD (Anno Domini) to BCE and CE, so as not to offend the Muzzies and atheists.
Be aware. Don't succumb.

No building is covered by solid blocks of gold

Duh. I was pointing out that is was not gold PLATED but rather "gilt". My post #30 made the point.
