Religious claims to Jerusalem
Jennifer Rubin sure got this one right. From the Jerusalem Day festivities: “Heckled by a lawmaker from Israel’s Arab minority, Netanyahu offered a lesson in comparative religion from the lectern. ‘Because you asked: Jerusalem is mentioned 142 times in the New Testament, and none of the 16 various Arabic names for Jerusalem is mentioned in the Koran. But in an expanded interpretation of the Koran from the 12th century, one passage is said to refer to Jerusalem,’ he said. Responding to Netanyahu’s citations, Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat said: ‘I find it very distasteful, this use of religion to incite hatred and fear. East Jerusalem is an occupied Palestinian town, and East Jerusalem cannot continue to be occupied if there is to be peace.’” Really, only Muslims are allowed to assert a religious claim to Jerusalem, you see.Indeed.

No wonder the PA's chief bottle washer is upset.
He needn't be. The Stupid Jews are afraid to tell Obama to shove it on Jerusalem.
What could wrong indeed
If their Mosques are so precious, we should relocate them brick by brick to Jordan. It was a foolish idea to build on top of someone else's property, the Jew's Temple Mount. But being the reasonable people we are, we should relocate the Mosques to Jordan [along with the entire population of Israel's Arabs, this way they can all enjoy their Aqsa]. - This is exactly what should be done with the Mosques which squat on the Tomb of Rachel, and the Cave of the Patriarchs. All Mosques in Israel should be re-located.
Alexander Maccabee: ABSOLUTELY!
I have already removed the dome of the rock in the Jerusalem of my blog!
