Aqsa Puns

This is a repost because the original did not conform to the sub’s 3 paragraph requirement.

I am thinking about this from a few different perspectives, based on:

1. short term violence—-

What might happen in the short run by way of immediate violence or even war? Would the Abraham Accords end? Would the Hashemites finally fall in Jordan?

2. the religion of the terrorist—-

would a Muslim do this because there’s no security cameras or metal detectors for their entrance to the Mount and it may accomplish their goal of global war and instability against Israel? If it was a Jewish terrorist, would America stand with Israel in defending its people against the attacks from without?

3. long-term construction —-

What would happen on the Temple Mount? Would it: —Sit empty pending the outcome of violence or religious prophecy? —See the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple according to the specifications in the Bible? — See the reconstruction of the mosque and a return to today’s status quo, or — See the building of an ecumenical Temple where all faiths are welcome to pray according to their will?

I hope that’s at least 3 paragraphs and welcome your original or resubmitted ideas to get this discussion going!

I’m seeing that Jews claim that the remains of Solomon’s temple is underneath the mosque or something and Muslims are apparently denying it? Anyone got a good source to explain what and why the issue is a thing?

Does Aqsa have a new snap

Has anyone visited Masjid Al Aqsa? I want to visit and would like to know the procedures

There was some buzz a year ago when a Saudi journalist made a startling claim: al-Aqsa Mosque is not in Jerusalem. Rather, the hadiths refer to a mosque named al-Aqsa in the village of Al Ju'ranah, near Mecca.

How strong is this claim? He also claimed that early Muslims didn't face Mecca when praying, and that disputes between the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan and Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr led to the accentuation of Jerusalem in Islamic tradition.
