Why exactly is the Secretary of State trying to dictate who can and cant pray at a particular place? Does Kerry think that the Temple Mount is a public school?
Washington called for Israeli authorities to reopen the Temple Mount to Muslim worshipers Thursday, while also condemning the shooting of a US-born activist who lobbied for Jewish rights on the holy site
It is absolutely critical that all sides exercise restraint, refrain from provocative actions and rhetoric, and preserve the historic status quo on the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount in word and in practice, Kerry said in a statement.
The Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount must be re-opened to Muslim worshipers and I support the long-standing practices regarding non-Muslim visitors to the site, he said.
What are those practices?
Jews cannot worship atop the mount, only at the Western Wall.
The Secretary of State of the United States just ordered Israel to limit prayers in a particular place to Muslims, not Jews. And apparently to ban other non-Muslims too.
Remember when the United States used to uphold religious freedom? These days it sends people to jail for offending Muslims and orders other countries to engage in religious discrimination on behalf of Muslims.
He’s a walkin’, talkin’, giant suppurating pilonidal cyst!
I’ve been there and touched the remaining wall of the Second Temple. Very cool!
I would like to see President Cruz fully back Israel in blowing up and/or tearing down the mosque that sits on the temple mount.
Great point!
After watching this administration destroying its relationships with allies in the Middle East, I can only wonder how long it will be before Israel will turn to Russia for some sort of cooperative defense agreement and for Russia to take the lead in forcing the Arab states into a “cooperative” peace lest Russia cut off military aid to them if they do not.
What about praying to Gaia to save the earth from Globul Warming? Huh, Kerry?
Kerry should mount the Mount and tell his fellow islamists that her is there to commune with them. At least and at last we’d then be rid of him.
Kerry’s an idiot.
There's so many bad actors in that Administration... it's almost like it's intentional...
Kerry needs to taken out back and...never mind; it’ll get me suspended or banned.
The Double Standard of Double Standards continues.......
This is about the 5th time in the last two weeks that I have heard about this deed. Twice on the radio, once in my scripture reading, twice in random other readings, once in a dream.
The dream also added something about Obadiah, Hosea, Malachi, and 2 Golf Magazines from July (including Golf Digest...I couldn’t retain the memory on these though)
Now on FR - Just making me wonder...mysterious ways and all.

It’s one of those ‘little known’ side stories of the Bible.
It is often overlooked and discounted as ‘filler’ for the overall text.
Why would God tell Jeremiah to buy the field, when he was under arrest, in the palace courtyard, and had no real reason to buy the field, much less use it?
He was offered first refusal by his cousin, since he was the nearest next-of-kin to buy it, as was the custom of the time. A similar scenario occurred in the Book of Ruth, a few hundred years earlier.
The DEED has legal connotations, in that it would cement Israel’s claim of possession of the land, way before any Islamic entity was ever created.
The deed was to be sealed in a clay jar and was given to Baruch, Jeremiah’s secretary, and effectively hidden until the right time for it to reappear, which may be very soon..........................
Reminds me of when I was teaching in Turkey. One day I took a guided tour of major sites in Istanbul. Also on the tour was a couple from Saudi Arabia. One of the sites was the Aya Sofia, formerly a Catholic church, then a mosque, and now a museum. One of the Saudis asked the tour guide if he could pray there. The guide told him he couldn't. I wondered how anyone would even know if someone prayed. Unless they laid out a prayer rug, put their head on the floor and raised their butt, they could pray and no one would ever realize it.
..still betraying America....the clown hasn’t changed in 50 years. The Swift Boat Vets had this boob cold.

Who is he to support or not support where and when Jews worship?
Don’t you understand that liberals know what’s best for you?
