“>>>Divine inspiration would come to the Prophet Muhammad,”<<<
How does this Mr Jihad (or anyone) know it was “Divine” inspiration? If you read the Quran vis a vis Mo’s actions, it would seem Mo tried to sanction his (horrible) deeds, including a lot of looting & killing, by saying he received a revelation from God!
>>>”and he would put it on record that same day.”<<<
Mo was illiterate. Even moslems acknowledge that Mo & his fellow bedouin Arabs couldn’t read or write.
>>>”Haram Al-Sharif, and uncovered the remains of an Umayyad palace. There are no [Jewish] archeological remains. There is no Solomon’s Temple or any other temple.”<<<
The Umayyad’s (a bedo Arab Caliph ruling Iran soon after moslem-Arab invasion of Iran) didn’t come to power until 7th century AD. The Solomon’s Temple was originally built around 10th century BC. Cyrus the Great decreed (circa 6th century BC) that Jews should return to their homeland and rebuild their temple in Jerusalem (presumably referring to the destroyed Solomon’s Temple). The reconstruction was completed after Cyrus’ death by his successor Darius the Great.
Points are:
1. long gap between Umayyad’s rule 7th c. AD & Solomon’s Temple 10th c. BC or even rebuilt temple in the 6th c. BC.
2. Arab-moslem invaders destroyed many pre-Islamic things, so that no trace of them should be found.
But, I’d say, Solomon’s temple did exist, as did the one which was rebuilt after Jews were freed from Babylonian captivity by Cyrus the Great.
BTW, it is typical of moslem mentality (or those who are influenced by them) to either deny the existence of pre-Islamic places/people, or somehow vilify them, or Islamicize them (mostly by renaming them. There are many examples of that in Iran).
The most outrageous and obtuse denial was when, several yrs ago, a few moslems told me that the Sassanid Empire didn’t exist, and that the Sassanid were invented by the Romans, Christians, and Zoroastrians. This is despite obvious archeological & historical evidence that they did!
No need to argue with the man, or cite archaeological evidence. Just look in the Koran he’s so fond of at Sura 17.

The man has something toxic going on in his brain:

Accusing Israel and Zionism of Nazism and racism is associated in the Arab discourse with Israeli policy toward the Palestinians. This was a recurring theme in many of Jihad al-Khazin’s columns in the London-based liberal paper al-Hayat. Attacking European and American decisions to suspend financial aid to the PA, following the Hamas victory in the PA parliamentary elections in January, al-Khazin labeled Israeli government members on 9 March “Nazi war criminals,” accusing them of being part of one of the most barbaric and terrorist movements in the modern age with its “Nazi army.” On 19 April, following Israeli retaliation for a Palestinian suicide attack in Jerusalem, he repeated his allegation, asserting that since many members of the government and the army were descendants of Holocaust victims or survivors, “they can exploit their knowledge of Nazi expertise in order to apply ‘the final solution’ to the Palestinian problem.”
Or the Tel Dan Stele from the 9th century talking of the House of David and how Hazael defeated them
Or even further back, the Mernptah Stele from the 11th century BC talking of Israel
Or, in closer times, what about Titus' arch commemorating his defeat of Israel in 69 AD?
