I think it is pretty obvious that this could turn into the same type of situation that pertains in Ayodhya in India where a mob of Hindus destroyed an ancient mosque that they claimed was on the site of an even older Hindu temple. This is especially true since recent research indicates that the rock in the Dome of the Rock may have been the resting place of the Ark in the first temple. I'd like to see Jews be able to pray on the Temple Mount and I would like for it to be possible to do archaeological excavations there. But the Muslims have a case too. This is a very difficult problem to solve. Destroying the Dome of the Rock, which is of course the goal of many extremists, would not be an act intended to further world peace.

i will admit to being extreme - as well as intransigent - but as far as i'm concerned take out the dome - and anyone who has a problem with that

the maggots that have hijacked islam understand nothing but the iron fist of power - anything less only encourages them further

the israeli's have shown overwhelming patience and tolerance for the nest of vipers in their midst - let them handle the issue at hand without tying their hands and let the temple mount be open to prayers

and i too would enjoy seeing a proper archeologic inventory - but i'm pretty sure it's too late now because of the muslims well-known unregulated and undocumented digging and destruction of israeli antiquitities - when the dome does come down it will probably be because of those illegal excavations

Arabs have no connection to the Temple Mount today any more than they did in the eighth century. Mo said he flew there in a dream. All it had to do with the rock was that Mo said he landed there on his heavenly steed. Jerusalem was never sacred to Muslims. Assyria destroyed the Temple and Rome pillaged it. Muslims came much later to amplify the defilement and destroyed it and stole as much as they could after the Catholic church got what they stole out first.
When Jordan had possession of the Temple, no Jew was permitted to pass though the gates for years.
We won it back in a war they started, so you will pardon me if I say they can all dance in hell for all I care. But not on top of OUR Temple. They defile it with their very presence and will until they are gone from there.
Seen Jacob's tomb lately? Rachel's tomb?
