Last week, Saudi Twitter pages began to promote the message that ‘the direction of Jewish prayers do not matter to me”.

The campaign, designed to emphasize the importance of Mecca and Medina as the holy places of Islam, and to eliminate the importance of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, has caused considerable controversy online.

Among the most prominent messages in the campaign were those who wrote that "the direction of the prayers of the Jews is not important to us, what is important to us is only our homeland," referring to Saudi Arabia. This tweet was written by a well-known Saudi cartoonist named Fahd al-Jabiri.

Another English-language tweet by Ibtassam from Morocco seeks to bolster the Saudi campaign as it emphasizes that the Temple Mount is of no particular importance to Muslims, and hopes for the building of the Third Temple and the arrival of peace with it for all peoples.

According to the Saudis, the campaign is in response to the Palestinians who insult and humiliate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its cooperation with Israel, both online and in many demonstrations on the Temple Mount on Fridays. The reaction of the Saudis is to emphasize that Al-Aqsa is a mosque like all mosques, but the direction of prayer of the Muslims is to the city of Mecca and to it only.

Tom Nissani, CEO of the Temple Mount and Temple Heritage Foundation, noted, “In the end, it is becoming increasingly clear that the main obstacle - the Temple Mount - is in our hands. Now the Saudis and Moroccans also emphasize the strong connection of the Jewish people to the Temple Mount and the diminution of its importance to Islam. This is a historic opportunity to expel the hostile Waqf from the Temple Mount and transfer it

I find it funny that their god cares what direction they pray.

Early Christians often prayed to the east because in the Scripture (Matthew 24:27)

"For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west: so shall the coming of the Son of man be." (Douay-Rheims)

Early churches will built facing east for that reason. Even in Catholic churches that are not situated in that direction, there is a "liturgical east" that feeds off that Tradition, that we are ever to be watchful, ready for God's return.

The Koran is a hot mess. They literally duplicate Gensis 22:18 (the binding of Issac by Abraham), and subsitute Ishmael for Issac...adding the typically savage Arab touch of having Abraham's blade draw blood from his neck before angels intervene.

Later the Koran depicts Abraham and Ishmael building the Kaaba site at Mecca, which was thousands of years after the binding and makes utterly no sense at all (Abraham never went anywhere near Arabia).

They should be praying towards the Green Dome, where Mohammad is buried, the Green Dome is a green-colored dome built above the tomb of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and early Muslim Caliphs, Abu Bakr and Umar. The dome is located in the southeast corner of Al-Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina. The structure dates back to AD1279 , when an unpainted wooden cupola was built over the tomb.

Going by the direction of early mosque prayer walls it’s been said that they prayed towards Petra, which better matches aspects of the description of Mohammad’s home town than Mecca does.

That land does not belong to Muslims.. none of it does... they won’t quit till Jesus returns and judgment happens.

The truth is that the Temple mount is really not important, since it was built long after Mohamed had been assassinated by the Caliph as a tourist attraction to keep his restless court in line with a new source of revenue, the whole Mohamed-ascended-there thing is a deliberate lie to keep the Jews from rebuilding the Temple and to keep any historical objects out of sight.

Daniel 6:10
Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.
