A strictly observant Jew would never set foot on Temple Mount for fear that they would inadvertently trespass on the site of the original Holy of Holies, the site in the first temple where the Ark of the Covenant was kept and where only specially chosen Priests were allowed to attend. As for Muslims, they believe that the same spot where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac is where Mohammed ascended into heaven.

"As for Muslims, they believe that the same spot where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac is where Mohammed ascended into heaven"This, despite the very un-mentioned fact that the Koran never mentions the city of Jerusalem once; nada. The fairy tale about the temple mount and Mohammed is latter-Islam myth. The city has never been a "holy" site to Muslims until the Zionist movement baegan. Then, the Muslims twisted some of their verses in the Koran to mean something entrirely different than what had always been held and "claimed" the temple mount to be thire holy site. Convenient revisionist Muslim history for manipulation purposes against the Jews. Of course the media will never tell you this...and don't bother with the UNhistory channel either.
