Israel recaptured it in 1967 and then in a show of lack of faith and lack of Biblical understanding, handed it back to the Muslims.

Or was it because a truly devout Jew will not set foot on the Temple Mount for fear of committing sacrilege by accidentally stepping where the Holy of Holies was located, the place where the Ark of the Covenant was kept and where only select Priests were allowed to go?

Well, no, is the short answer, for that would have been no reason to give it to the Muslims, and the secular army would have administered it, and the area near the Temple site could have been roped off with a rabbinical warning...

Furthermore, what you say obtained about 1967-82, but with every passing year since that, more and more feel they know precisely enough just where that Temple stood, as to be able to avoid treading on it, and guide leaflets were available for that purpose.

It was given back to the Muslimsd in 67 on condition they allow all persons to visit and quietly meditate or pray, but this has been violated and Muslims will certainly kill any non-Muslim who goes up there, at present.

May it be speedily reopened in our days.
