In prayer, Jews face Jerusalem but Muslims face Mecca
 
Victor Sharpe  Sunday, May 29, 2011


The late Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren Sounds the Shofar (Ram’s Horn) upon the Recapture in June, 1967 of Jerusalem’s holy Jewish site, the Western Wall, from Jordanian Muslim occupation

Jerusalem Unification Day has again been celebrated in Israel and throughout the world with the exception of that 7th century alternate universe: the Muslim world.

It marks 44 years since the amazing and miraculous event took place when the Jewish people’s 3,000 year old capital city was restored to the Jewish state in the 1967 Six-Day War.

For 19 long years from 1948 to 1967, Jordan had occupied Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and the eastern half of Jerusalem. Only Pakistan and Britain had ever recognized Jordan’s illegal occupation.

 

The British officered Jordanian Arab Legion had forced out at gunpoint the Jewish residents of the Old City and the neighboring Jewish villages: It was Apartheid and ethnic cleansing, Arab style.

The Legion went on to desecrate the Jewish graves on the ancient Mount of Olives and use the headstones as latrines. They desecrated over 50 synagogues and forbade Jewish pilgrims to worship at their holy places. They had turned the Via Delarosa, the Way of the Cross, into a filthy, sewerage strewn alley through which Christian pilgrims were forced to walk.

Jordan cut the Holy City in half ...

Man that is interesting. I like the part about how Islam retroactively made Jerusalem their 3 most holy site.

Also show where 0bummer got the phrase: “All 57 states.”

thank God, for Canada Free Press.
they tell truth, that even many conservative sites won’t.

...and this article give excellent history.

(but one point of trivia. It’s true “Jews face Jerusalem but Muslims face Mecca” now. but originally, Muhammad (phub), had Muslims prayer towards Jerusalem. Until God changed his mind, and told him to prayer towards Mecca instead...)

Thanks.
BTW, When you write: "phub" on Muhammad, what goes through your mind and what do these initials mean to you?

Lets also remember...for over 400 years...the Ottoman turks had control over Israel...they never bothered to rename it as “Palestine”. The Jordanians controlled the west bank (Judea and Samaria) from 1948 to 67...never bothered to rename it “Palestine”. The arabs cared so little for the place they dont even have a name for it...other than west bank of the Jordan river. Only when the Joooos return after 2000 years do they suddenly “need” a homeland.

There were German military efforts aimed at fomenting arab nationalism in the First World War; see Wilhelm Wassmuss.

Excellent article. Give our neighbors to the north “credit” for standing up and telling the truth!

The truth is that the REAL Palestine is there, called JORDAN.

During WW 2, there was a mufti who was a friend of Hitler, but his name does not come to mind.

Haj Amin al-Husseini, personally met with hitler after he fled to Europe.

A link:

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/muftihit.html

Google his name for some rather shocking info, shocking because you won’t hear it very much other than if you go digging for it.

BTW, keep up with the muslim brotherhood at:

http://globalmbreport.org/

Again, shocking. They’ve actually appointed a token Coptic Christian inside the muslim brotherhood for show. Extremely long-planning and devious organization - they are bent on becoming acceptable to America and Europe and becoming a growing part of those societies, until they have enough of a majority to start exerting control. This is a very serious, extremely dangerous international group which is covertely and overtly invading around the world.

If the Muslims ever get control of Jerusalem, it will be a shell of its current self in a few years. Any historical remnant of other religions will be buldozed, with Mosques built over them. Muslims make a lot of noise about Jerusalem, but really its all about Mecca. They just want to have control of the holiest places for the Jews and Christians—period. Unfortunately, we are probably stupid enough to let it happen in the name of “Peace”.

allah akbar does not mean God is geat, what alalah akbar means is the god of islam is great. In other words what allah akbar means is satan is good.

Understnd it folks, muslims do not worship the God of the Bible they worship the devil.

Canada Free Press is wonderful. the information there is great, and i’m glad you posted this.
...i don’t want to distract from this good thread.
but about your question:
briefly, it (PBUH - sorry i mistyped it earlier),
reminds me of the very stressful months, where i was INSIDE a masjid, trying to save the life and soul of a young blind woman, who said she loved me and wanted to marry me.
...but she was from a Muslim family... and while she herself told me, she believed Islam was evil (HER words!), she was terrified of her family.
(for every honor killing, there is 1000 women like her, terrified into submission.)
...i witnessed her LITERALLY shaking in terror, from fear she would be seen with my and my child in a Chuckie Cheese.
She secretly went to church with me, and she was shocked at the difference, and impressed with our God of Love, and a Priest who prayed for mercy for ALL people.
...but finally, she was too afraid. her final goodbye to me, included:
“... Now they are watching me more closely than ever.”

... my time in the masjid was very educational. I learned just how much the CAIR spokesmen on MSM lie. it is breathtaking... if you are curious, i’d answer any questions in PM. i very much wish more people knew the truth about Islam. and since they lie to kuffirs, the ONLY way to learn the truth, is to be inside...

absolutely true about Jerusalem.
...and Samantha Powers and Obama are setting Israel up, to be destroyed. Egypt alone has about 400 M-1 Abrams. and now the Muslim Brotherhood controls them. In October, when the UN creates “Palestine”, if Israel resists, they will be given the “Libya” treatment, as Powers outlined in her paper YEARS ago... all planned.

...as for Mecca, you don’t need a air blast. Mecca isn’t the point. (in fact, the Saudi’s have already destroyed many historical sites there.)
it’s the Kaaba that matters.
simply destroy that meteorite, and you fundamentally weaken Islam, without killing a single Muslim. a ground blast centered on that, would help free the world, of a great evil that has killed about 100 million people since 700 AD.

I heard from religious authrities that the ‘cult’ of radical Islam [that believes in suicide/homicide/killing missions 'for allah'] is considered idol worshiping.

True, now they want a 'Palestine-Arab-Apetheid' number 2. {In both authorities, anyone who sells land to a non-Muslim is punishable by death - by official [Fatwa, Islamic] law.
