The problem is that the proposed site for the rebuilt temple is on the same site as the <a href="http://www.noblesanctuary.com/">al-Aqsa mosque</a>, the holiest site in Islam after Mecca and Medina. Some Zionist extremists in Israel have attempted to <a href="http://www.arabia.com/news/article/english/0,11827,37063,00.html">"solve" this problem by plotting to blow up the mosque</a>, which doesn't exactly promote peace in the Middle East. And to think all of this could have been started by a cow that looks like it should have belonged in "the Horse of a Different Color" sequence in the Wizard of Oz! tag:metafilter.com,2002:site.21232 Wed, 30 Oct 2002 14:35:47 -0800 alaqsamosque christianity israel judaism mosque religion solomonstemple zionist jonp72
