Mugrabi bridge built for attack on mosque, Salah says

[oberliner]

The Israeli works near the al-Aqsa Mosque are meant as a direct attack on the holy Muslim site, Sheikh Ra'ed Salah of the Islamic Movement stated Tuesday.

"The purpose of the excavations is to build a synagogue in the very location of the Al-Buraq Mosque, and the bridge is meant to enable military vehicles and trucks access to the mosque, for an attack on the Temple Mount," he said.

"Israel is conquering the al-Aqsa mosque by force," Salah charged, "and that is why it is our duty to emphasize that no Israeli institute has sovereignty over the al-Aqsa Mosque, or over holy Jerusalem. We stress that if the Israeli establishment moves one particle of the sacred mosque, this will be a crime."

1. Yeah, as if Israel would have otherwise been unable to sieze the mosque

without this supposed causeway :sarcasm:

Another tempest in a teapot.

2. Perhaps there are historical reasons why the Muslims are concerned that are being ignored here

There are movements by extremist Jewish and Christian groups to rebuild the third Temple Mount.

4. The Temple Mount is NOT going to be rebuilt

Period. The Israeli government has no intention of even allowing that to happen.

Get a grip.

5. I never said it would. I'm merely pointing out there are fanatics who want it to be rebuilt.

What's your problem with what I posted?

edit: grammar

9. Perhaps, indeed

Maybe it has to do with the manner in which Muslims have treated other religions' holy sites in the past. They assume that because they choose to desecrate sites important to others that it will be done to their holy sites.
