WHY IS THIS MOSQUE A HOLY PLACE? every mosque is sacred ¿there people fill the holy work....M Muhammad took the trip and ascend heaven...Al-Aqsa area is holy ...40 km. around Al-Aqsa.....All of the area is sacred -even Jordan and Palestine...... DO YOU FEEL SPECIAL TO LIVE HERE IN JERUSALEM BECAUSE IT IS SACRED not special. ... all men were created equal ...

There was no war -one army withdrew one came in ...there was no firing or destruction .....The first thing the Israelis did -was doing the census.

People suffer from this today ....people living close by can not ?? in.........to pray or to work.....the second was to change the character of the city-tunnels we ??? never were opened... Arab houses were in the Jewish quarter, the wailing wall was a small area with an alley leading to it......it all belonged to the Muslims .....bulldozers demolished the houses and established others........the people who were kicked out had to go......
