Arab League Furious over Jewish Prayer on Temple Mount

(IsraelNN.com) The Arab League reacted with fury on this week to reports that a small group of Jews had prayed on the Temple Mount on Sunday. Secretary-General Amr Moussa termed the spontaneous prayer gathering “a violation of international law.”

Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, head of the Temple Institute in Jerusalem, led the guided tour on the Temple Mount. While guards on the mount have a policy of preventing Jewish prayer or religious gestures such as kneeling or bowing, Rabbi Ariel's group managed to briefly pray at the site.

"This is the first time since 1967 that Jews have conducted prayers on Al-Aksa during the month of Ramadan,” Moussa declared. “We condemn this act,”

Ramadan is supposed to be a time for prayer — where’s the problem?

The Arabs need to get some IPhones or something. My word, everytime you turn around, they’re wee-weed-up about something.

You might as well program that phrase into one of your function keys.

The place was established as the singularly holiest of all places to pray for the Jews thousands of years before Islam was founded.

Denying Jews a chance to pray there seems pretty damn sick.

The muslim authorities have deliberately destroyed many archaeological finds which relate to the Jewish temples (small portions of a frieze, etc.).

That kind of destruction should be condemned internationally—but, of course, it isn’t.

(And by the way, by international law Jews and Christians and everyone else should have the right to freedom of religion in Saudi Arabia, too—and the right to pray there.
Still waiting for that one...and for international condemnation of the refusal to permit this...)

According to the arabs, history doesn’t start until after they took over there. The fact that the jews were there for thousands of years beforehand is irrelevant to them.

Maybe the Moooslims are afraid that Israeli’s might just be praying to the true God and they might be praying to free Jerusalem from Muoooslim hands....????

Followers of Satan NEVER want anyone to pray to ELOHIM

I look forward to the day that my soon to be born grandson asks me, “Grandpa, what is a muslim?”

And I can answer,”They are like the dinosaurs; they are all dead.”

“Grandpa, what is a koran”?
“Child, that is what we call toilet paper.”

"This is the first time since 1967 that Jews have conducted prayers on Al-Aksa during the month of Ramadan,” Moussa declared. “We condemn this act,”

I'm sure the Jews they refer to said to themselves, "Hey, It's Ramadan, let's go pray."

When was there ever a time when they weren’t “furious” about some damn thing or another? Living their lives in perpetual “outrage.”

I've seen that bumper sticker numerous times, and ALL THE TIME the driver looks like they left half their brain under their bed, still wrapped in the plastic from the factory. If these boobs had two brain cells to rub together, they'd realize the folly of their position.

"We will have peace, when you and all your works have perished- and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us." Theoden to Saruman, but very applicable to followers of Islam and Mohammed (Pork be upon him).
