It is the most controversial piece of real estate in the world -- Jerusalem's Temple Mount. It is the holiest site in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam.
Muslim tradition says that the prophet Muhammad travelled to the Al-Aqsa Mosque on his famous night journey and that tradition is the basis for the Palestinians' claim to Jerusalem.
Arabs claim Jerusalem as the Islamic city of Al-Quds, but there's no record to prove that the prophet Muhammad had ever been there. His armies didn't arrive in the city until five years after his death.
The city of Jerusalem isn't even mentioned in the Qu'ran. However, the Bible mentions the city of David more than 600 times.
In Muhammad's lifetime, it was a fairly unimportant city in the Byzantine Empire. It was a Christian city without a single mosque.
On the spot where the Al-Aqsa mosque stands today stood the ruins of the Church of St. Mary of Justinian.
How Muslim Scholars and Conquerors Sought to Claim Jerusalem for Islam
So how could Muhammad's famous night journey have taken him to a mosque in Jerusalem that was not built until after his death?
The Qu'ran says that Muhammad's dream flight took him to Al-Aqsa, which means "the farthest place." Early Islamic scholars interpreted this to mean a heavenly place or the courtyard of Allah.
This interpretation changed as Islam evolved into a political force. About 80 years, after Muhammad's death, Muslim ruler Abd El-Wahd restored the church on the same site. He even kept the building's basic structure, added a dome, then converted it into a mosque. He then named it Al-Aqsa, copying the name in the Qu'ran.
During the Crusades, the Muslim General Saladin changed Islamic tradition to strengthen the Muslim Claim to Jerusalem. He stated that Muhammad's flight took him not to heaven, but to the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
Today, the Jewish Temple Mount is known as the third holiest site in Islam behind the Arabian cities of Mecca and Medina. Muslims believe that once they claim a piece of land, it belongs to Islam forever.
Muslims Have Acknowledged that Jerusalem is Full of Jewish History
Still, at the beginning of the 20th century, Islamic leaders acknowledged the Temple Mount's Jewish history. In 1924, Jerusalem's Supreme Islamic Council published a tourist pamphlet on the Temple Mount. It says the site's "identity with the site of Solomon's temple is beyond dispute. This, too. is the spot, according to the universal belief, on which David there built an altar unto the Lord."
The pamphlet also describes the underground chamber known as Solomon's stables saying, "it dates probably as far back as the construction of Solomon's Temple. According to Josephus, it was in existence and was used as a place of refuge by Jews at the time of the conquest of Jerusalem. "
In 1927, a powerful earthquake damaged the mosque and during renovations, archaeologists analyzed the structure. They found beams make from cedar from Lebanon and cypress wood dating as far back as the 9th century, B.C., around the time of King Solomon, who had used those very materials to build the first Jewish temple.
The excavations also uncovered a Jewish ritual bath from the second temple and a mosaic believed to be a part of a Byzantine church.

I'm asking you again, why are we talking about Israel and not about Islam whom you claim are not all Ismael's descendants?
Maybe you only read the Bible to see what you can use against the Jews, but here is what Prophecy says will happen to the Nation of Israel and it is happening before our very eyes.
Zechariah:8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
Why do you think all of a sudden, all these people wants to become Jews?
Does it not surprise you?
The Jewish tribe is the most hated and despised tribe on earth. Even the blacks who are believed to be the Cursed Bloodline of Shem mock the Jews.
What is in Israel for all these people who are claiming to be Jews at the long run?
The Jews themselves are not even accommodating of these Gentiles who are claiming their ancestry, yet these gentiles are still pushing.
Muslim, you are fighting God in this matter. When he choose them as His people, He exactly what they'd do. They have never truly Obeyed YHWH from Egypt to the Wilderness till Jesus's, till date, but he chose them anyways.
Do you think when he told Abraham that he had chosen him to start a people who be His, and He decided to keep them separate as His own, he didn't see today?
Bros, the promises YHWH made to fight those who hates the Jews will come on you. I don't know how you read your Bible.
