I agree with the contention that Muslims appropriate the holy sites of others. The Haggia Sophia in Constantinople, or Istanbul if you prefer, was once a church.
I've always been amazed that people accept at face value Mohammed's claim to have traveled to from Arabia to Jerusalem by night, ascended into heaven, saw God, and then returned to earth. None of this was witnessed by a single soul.
Yet the same people question every miracle in the Old and New Testaments, including those miracles witnessed by thousands.

It appears that the Christians did as well. "So, when the Muslims conquered the Land of Israel in the 7th century, they looked for the holiest place around, and found a Byzantine church that was built on the Jewish Temple Mount."
