Third Day of Riots: Clashes on Temple Mount
Arutz Sheva ^ | July 4, 2014 | Tovan Dvorin

Arab rioters attacked police on the Temple Mount Friday afternoon, unimpeded by restrictions imposed on Muslim worshipers to access Judaism's holiest site due to ongoing violent riots in Jerusalem.

Police have begun riot control measures on the site, according to Yediot Aharonoth, including using stun grenades to handle the unruly mob. Multiple stun grenade explosions were heard as of Friday afternoon on the Mount; tens of enraged Arabs are also rioting and attempting to break through police barriers at the Dung Gate (Sha'ar Ha'ashpot) near the Western Wall (Kotel).

Earlier Friday, police announced that access to the Mount would be limited for Muslims to males with Israeli citizenship over the age of 50 and all female worshipers. Friday also marks the first Friday, or Muslim day of rest, of the month-long fast of Ramadan.

Riots are frequent on the Mount, with Muslim visitors clashing with Israeli police, often with the result of blocking Jewish access to the site, which was the location of the First and Second Temples...

On Wednesday and Thursday, rioters threw pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails, and rocks at Israeli forces and the press and shouted anti-Semitic chants; three Jerusalem Light Rail stations were burnt down as well.

That mosque represents nothing but vileness and evil to me. Were it only in my power to make it into a kennel...it would then serve some worthwhile purpose.

I think it is time to level the Dome of the Crock and the Al Aqsa Mosque and build the Third Temple.

I was thinking pig farm where we farm the fat and use it to dip our bullets in.

I was in Jerusalem last year at this time.

I'd leave the light rail stations exactly as they are now for the same reason Detroit should be left as it is.

A failed people need reminders that they are indeed a failed people, unfit for civilization.
