Jewish fanatics allowed into Aqsa plaza (way)
Hey Abu Alfalfa, I'm not excessively impressed by the shallow
propagandistic way in which you consider Jews stepping foot onto the
Temple Mount platform to be "fanatics", but you consider gangs of
young Arab toughs dropping stones from the top of the wall onto
praying Orthodox Jews in the Western Wall plaza below to be
"courageous and noble patriots"! Meanwhile, Jerusalem has no
connection with Muhammad (other than as the "rejected Qibla", of
course), and has no relationship whatsoever with Qur'an verse 17:1 --
so you can drop all that "al-Aqsa" nonsense now. The oldest Muslim
inscriptions in Jeruslam (the Umayyad inscriptions on the Dome of the
Rock) were carefully chosen to be deliberately and intentionally
offensive towards Christians, but they make no reference at all to the
story of Muhammad's "night flight" or "ascent" (most of which is not
contained in the Qur'an anyway) -- which proves decisively that the
idea that Muhammad's "night flight" had Jerusalem as its destination
either simply didn't exist in early Islam, or was unknown to or not
accepted by the Umayyad Caliphs when they built the Dome of the Rock
ca. 700 A.D.

Some Qur'an quotes: 5:20 qaala muusaa 5:21 "yaa qawmi ´dkhuluu ´l-'arDa
´l-muqaddasata ´llatii kataba ´llaahu lakum" 17:104 waqulnaa ... libanii
'israa'iila "´skunuu ´l-'arDa" || In English: Moses said, "My people,
go into the Holy Land which God has assigned to you!" And we said to the
Children of Israel, "Inhabit the land!" http://symbolictruth.fateback.com/
