The Muslim Wakf is continuing to use heavy equipment to do "renovations" to the Temple Mount.
This time they replaced a carpet in the Al Aska Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. The carpet was worn out and they needed to put 80 bales of carpet to replace it. They did ask for visas of Jordanian carpet layers. Why not use Israelis? too political I guess. So, Uri Ariel of Israel Home party found out about the work, and sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but nothing on the Israeli side was done. They also brought in a bulldozer to do digging and using this really destoryed part of our history.
The most important site in Jerusalem, has never been properly excavated because of the indifference of the Muslims to the Jewish sensitivities. making it very difficult to even have Jews go visit the site.
The Muslim Wakf says that Jews never had a presence, and they are afraid that any exavations will prove them wrong.
If Islam is a religion of peace, then this is the place to prove it. Where is the protest of the Jewish World? Israelis are silent. Jews from the Diaspora are silent. The world is silent. Where is the outrage? We are silent.
The Muslims need to give Israel and the world wide community of Jews a confidence building measure and let the Israeli Archeologist up on the Temple Mount to work and document everything that is there. This would show the world that Islam is a peaceful religion. If not. . .
Can we sit back while valuable antiquites are being destroyed on Judaism's most holy site?
Why do the Jews have to pray at the second best? The Western Wall is just the retaining wall of the Temple mount. In ancient times, the people just looked at it, Oh, its a wall. But what is on top is the most important place in the world to the Jews.
