Note before reading-despite my well known views on the issue of our conflict, my translation will be accurate 100%. If you do not believe me, ask Alson, or some other hebrew speaker.
Moderators, please notice: This is
not a religeon debate, merely a historical/political.
The contents are in hebrew, so i will translate the main idea:
A new research made by Dr. Izhak Reiter ( from the "jerusalem research institute"), shows that the muslim leaders both religeous (imams and mufties) and political ( for example-Arafat) rewrite the history of jerusalem.
The main claims and of the new history are:
1.Al -Aqsa was built 40 years after the creation of the world, and not in the 7 century. It was built by Adam (according to islam the first muslim. contradicts number 2).
2. King Solomon (yes, yes, yes. That king. the son of David), built Al-Aqsa. (that is another version. Contradicts number 1).
3. Addition of the word "Al- Maz'um" (the false) when talking about the jewish temple. Complete denial of the version that it was there.
4.The usage of the words "al aqsa" when talking about the entire temple mount.
5. Denial of the version that the "cotel" (temple wall) is the cotel. They claim that it is the place where muhammad tied his flying horse (Al-Buraq). It is not a part of the jewish temple. A number of fatwahs was issued regarding it.
6.Jews want to destroy the mosque "al aqsa", in order to built there their false temple.
7. The temple mount is purely islamic, the jews hold no religeous/political/moral claim there.
This new history is being published among the muslim people.
An important thing to notice-this new history is not new.The grand mufti Hadj Amin Al Huseini, one of the biggest judophobical religeous leaders, said the same thing in 20 century.
Comments? Mine are well known.
