"Hamas warns of 'diplomatic catastrophe'"
TEL AVIV – Neither Israel nor the Palestinian Authority say they have any information President Obama plans to visit the Temple Mount amid Palestinian rumors that such a trip is in the works.
The rumors received a boost earlier this week when Hamas issued a statement warning the Obama against the idea, calling such a visit “a diplomatic catastrophe.”
The statement further called Obama’s rumored visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Mount “an imminent danger which the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem have never faced.”
Officials in the PA and Israel told WND yesterday they don’t have any information about a planned trip to the Temple Mount.
The office of Adnan Ghaleb al-Husayni, the governor of the Waqf, or Islamic custodians of the mount, further told WND that no such visit to the sensitive site was requested. An official in Husayni’s office said the idea of Obama’s ascent to the Mount is “insane.”
Holiest Jewish site, Islamic claims
The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism. Muslims now claim it is their third holiest site, although their stake changed several times throughout history.

Ahhh ! You beat me too it. Was comin` in hot with that one.
Is it time for the man of sin to sit in the Temple of God yet, and proclaim himself to be god, or shall we wait for another? (tongue-in-cheek, but only a little).
I wonder if he is going there to declare his faith.
He’ll be the one shouting it.
Maybe Barry the Messiah will be transported to Heaven, or someplace, by the Mohammad tractor beam. Hey, we can always hope.

Naaah! But as soon as the Third Temple is rebuilt... that will be another story! That’s why I don’t think Obama will visit the Temple Mount...yet.
I hope, after he visits, someone sprays the place with a heavy duty disinfectant.
Apparently, the Secret Service has developed some footgear that can't be burned up by brimstone.
obama has been wanting to go to that mosque since he was a kid but nobody will see what he does once inside. He’ll go to the temple with the cameras rolling.
Somebody told him that if he went he would likely get stoned. He just smiled and whispered ‘chooommm’.
Is there anything written about the antiCHRIST going to the Temple Mount?
Diplomatic disaster? That’s the metier of Zero and his administration.
Thanks wesagain.
Dome of the Rock. One of the three most holiest sites in Islam. Just saying...
Why....it wouldn’t smell any different.
