Muslim Anger over Virtual ‘Third Temple’

A Jewish website that aims to teach Israelis about the Temple has been met with an angry backlash from the Arab Muslim community.

The Har Hakodesh (lit. “The Holy Mountain”) website includes educational material about the history of the Temple Mount, which was the site of the First Temple and Second Temple. The Temples were the focus of divine service for the Jewish nation.

The site also includes stunning photographs of the Temple Mount, including pictures taken by a non-Jewish photographer from parts of the Mount which Jews may not enter.

What has caused upset in the Muslim world is a representation of the Temple Mount as it would appear with a rebuilt Jewish Temple atop it rather than Al-Aqsa Mosque that currently stands there.

The site has been repeatedly targeted by hackers, and has been the focus of criticism in the Arab media. Sheikh Raed Salah, who heads the hardline northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, has called for an “Islamic awakening” in response to the website.

The desire to see a rebuilt Temple is central to traditional Judaism, and the Amidah prayer, which religious Jews recite three times daily, calls for the Temple to be rebuilt.

Muslims are always blowing up about something.

The website looks like it would be interesting but my anti virus program is giving me a strong warning to avoid it.

[Da Coyote]

War with Islam.

Not if.

But when.

Islam will lose, its already a done deal.
Temple sacrifice will be restored before the tribulation period.
The descendants of Ishmael won’t be any less donkey’s asses after the mad pedophile religion disintigrates though.

I went into it and did not get any viral hits.

So, I guess my idea for site renderings of a pork processing plant in Mecca won’t go over very well.

So what is a Christian, with the epistle to the Hebrews in his bible, to think?

"Obsolete and ready to pass away"

If it makes Muslims mad, it must be good.

That conservative Jews aren't reading Hebrews. :>)

I saw some Angus bacon at the grocery last week. First time I’d ever noticed it. That would probably be ok.

But it would also render the sentiment that gave rise to the idea moot. :>)

Since they're always mad, does that mean good is happening all over the place.

[pallis]

If only that were so.

[xzins]

The people of the perpetual mad.

They can join the civil rights hustlers who are also perpetually offended

(oh...wait...they already have!)

[skinkinthegrass]

to the Pali-Arabs:You and your Arab brothers *snickering* have lost everything thru these "pointless wars" since 1948.
You could have help make "the region bloom"; but no, your 7th century Evil Moongod (Allah! = moon deity)
cult keeping pulling you back every time to that hell-hole you call home.

If the virtual temple is freaking them out, wait until the real one is built!

[xzins]

Since it’s by way of some agreement, then perhaps they’ll be just fine with it. Who knows?

[Tax-chick]

Parking garage on the left?

[xzins]

That caught my eye, too. Sleeping arrangements for servers from all over the country (world)?
