Kerry Says Only Muslims, Not Jews, May Pray at Jewish Holy Site
Front Page ^ | October 31, 2014 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 10/31/2014 7:29:07 AM PDT by xzins

Why exactly is the Secretary of State trying to dictate who can and can’t 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.

The Temple Mount is the very place where (MPBUH)Muhammed's Magical Horse, Barak, was assumed bodily into heaven for Muhammed's Ride. Don't believe me, O infidel? Why I can show you Barak's last earthly footprint, miraculously imprinted in solid rock!

We must take every step to prevent non-believers from befouling this sacred place where the Muslim Eternal Equine Took Wing for Firdous (our Paradise of Virgins and potable water), so to speak.

Why Red, what if infidels, such as yourself, were to search for the DEED and accidentally disturb the sacred road apples undoubtedly left by Barak, understandably nervous about the magic flight?

Kerry and his Boss, Barak, (not the horse) understand that it is precisely the cultural insensitivity infidels such as yourself display that causes al qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, etc. to become freedom fighters.

PS: A Minor Matter: Your dhimmi payment is now 30 days in arrears. Kindly remit, as the funds are needed to care for Muslim Holy Places, bullets, and other stuff.

I love how the “separation of church and state” party loves to dictate religious practice to others. Why the Catholic church hasn’t excommunicated him (along with Pelosi and a few others) is beyond my understanding.

Exactly right, O infidel pedant! However, I unfamiliar with Infidel tongues, must have confused Baraks. You must admit that our Muslim Bro, your POTUS, from many angles looks a great deal like a horse's behind.
