Y Muslims have a claim over Jerusalem, were by it was NOT mentioned even once in the holly Korean?

The Holly Koran? was that the Christmas edition?

Are you thumbs dowm prats serious? Get a damn life will ya!

Muslims regard Jerusalem as a holy place, because it is associated with the Old Testament prophets, who were also prophets in Islam. The sacred nature of Jerusalem is because the angel Gabriel brought Muhammed to the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. it was from here that Muhammed was taken up to Heaven in a vision. In the past Jerusalem was a place of pilgrimage instead of Mecca.

Muslims believe that Temple Mount was the sight that Mohamed Ascended into Heaven.

There is a lot of debate as to who owns the area for centuries. I do not know the true history.

But the problem goes back so long, that it will be a hard thing to sort out.

Jerusalem was not mentioned in the Qur'an. It is said Mohammad ascended to heaven from Mt. Moriah. But, this does not give a claim to Jerusalem.

Someone says Muslims only want Palestine back for Palestinians. There was never a country of Palestine till Israel recently gave land to become Palestine. There was never really a word of Palestinians till this time, too. Palestine was always a territory or province of some other powers--Romans, Saladin, Ottomans, British. So, how can you give back a country that never was?

I have met many really nice Koreans but I do not know anyone of any nationality that are holy. And I am not sure what one must do to become holly...sounds like a neat trick though.

A wise socioligst once said,

(Foll)ow the money!

I've briefly studied quite a few world religions in a class where this was a dominant theme. Or, it became one for me!

Can't remember a time when resources weren't at the heart of religious claims.

The holly Korean - is that some kind of southeast asian xmas decoration?

Poor Holly. And, she's a Korean?

The Holy Koran you mean?

Why do American Indians have claims to land here?

Because they lived here.

No one believes in Korean holly.

Seriously, the Palestinians have lived there for years.

Masjid ul Aqsa is mentioned in the Qur'an

Please correct your information. We are not claiming Jerusalem for muslims. We are claiming Palestine for Palestinians. Jersalem has muslims, religious and jewish sacred places. It is a universal place but who owns the land?

Peace
