[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffon: [QB] Found it Glass and it is a nice story, it makes a convenient justification for something else too, and I see your point, but Jerusalem was in Muslim possession for roughly 1100 years give or take as we account for the Crusades. The mytho-poetry as you said, grew up after to make it a holy shrine, but to use that as the justification for Israel's sole possession of Temple Mount is like saying the Hagia Sofia should be restored to Christian condition after not as many years as a Muslim mosque. It has passed into usage and undoing it furthers resentment already festering. That is not to say we should do nothing. This is the reason I strive to demystify history. Mytho-poetic historiography, the hyperbolic manipulation of history to reflect current situations of possession, power and justice issues, is deadly to peace-building if it is not named, claimed and dealt with. Is it fair? No. Temple Mount was lost to Jewish people be invaders many times in history and the great power of God brought them to this point. I do not have the belief system of Christianity that says Israel must rebuild the Temple and all that dispensationalist theology. But even then, I think Israel is far better served to let Muhammed's ascension be celebrated. The minute Islamo-facists start to believe it's false, they will blow Jerusalem up with a nuke. Listen to the news out of Iran and Syria today, and that is a real desire of those regimes. They want the land back and they hate the Jewish ethnicity. [/QB][/QUOTE]
