Arab League Furious over Jewish Prayer on Temple Mount

(IsraelNN.com) The Arab League reacted with fury on this week to reports that a small group of Jews had prayed on the Temple Mount on Sunday. Secretary-General Amr Moussa termed the spontaneous prayer gathering “a violation of international law.”

Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, head of the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, led the guided tour on the Temple Mount. While guards on the mount have a policy of preventing Jewish prayer or religious gestures such as kneeling or bowing, Rabbi Ariel's group managed to briefly pray at the site.

"This is the first time since 1967 that Jews have conducted prayers on Al-Aksa during the month of Ramadan,” Moussa declared. “We condemn this act,”

When they captured that section of the city in the 1967 war, the Israelis should have just razed the Islamic sites.

Uh, oh - guess I am going to be on Interpol’s most wanted - prayed there to the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob in the name of our Lord Jesus of Nazareth over 3 years ago and He is still answering those prayers.

Can you imagine if the Palestinians have any control over Jerusalem? No one but Muslims would be allowed to pray as it is all over the Muslim world.

Amen. The biggest mistake Israel ever made was leaving the Temple Mount in the hands of the waqf.

It’s the same G-d, too. Isn’t it? Moslems and Jews do worship the same G-d, don’t they? Don’t they? If Jews praying to G-d on their holiest site is a violation of international law, then international law is an ass (the animal, not the body part). Since asses are made to bear, international law should learn to bear it. The Masjid alAqsaa is standing on occupied ground, and the Waqf is deliberately destroying archaeological evidence. The sooner they are both gone from there, the better. Put that in your hooka and smoke it.

There was that time when they didn’t have anything to be furious and outraged about something, back in 1300. They were outraged and furious that they had nothing to be outraged and furious about, and blamed the joos for it.

When visiting the Temple Mount for the first time, I recommend singing a psam of Steven Spielberg, preferably loud enough to be heard. It starts like this:

Many nights we prayed,
With no proof anyone could hear,
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood.
Now we are not afraid,
Although we still have much to fear.
We’ve been moving mountains long
Before we knew we could.

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail,
It’s hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve.
When you believe,
Somehow you will.
You will when you believe.

Google the rest. The librarian is kicking me off.
