It’s proven historically that the Jewish temple existed from the time of Solomon and then afterward (after 70 AD)the Romans built a pagan temple on the spot,...

Actually there were two Tem,ples. The one originally build by Solomon around c. 500 B.C., destroyed, it is said, by the Assyrians. No traces of the original Temple have ever been uncovered/found.

The Second Temple was constructed by Harold Agrippa, a hellinized Jews appointed by Rome to act as the Jewish leader and Rome's representative in that part of the world. This is the Temple mentioned in the story of Christ. It is completed less than 10 years before it was destroyed by Romen troops. c. 70 AD. The famous "Wailing Wall" in Jerusalem is said by believers to be the remains the Second Temple; if so, the wall is the only remains of the Second Temple ever found.

Which brings to the point one little question: If, according to Sheikh Raad Salah, Bibi is going to rebuild the temple...where on earth is going to get the money?
