Jerusalem - Islamists: Chabad Temple Seminar Danger To Muslims |

The three-part seminar, which is being held this week and next week at some 200 Chabad Houses throughout the country, comes less than two weeks before Tisha Be'av, which marks the destruction of the Temple.
"We view this as a serious and drastic move toward the fruition of extremist organizations to establish a temple in place of al-Aksa Mosque," Zahi Nujidat said. "This represents a real danger to al-Aksa."
A similar condemnation was issued in Arabic this week by the Aksa Foundation.
The Aksa Foundation was cynically pointing to the courses, which are held in three sessions, as proof that the Israeli establishment wants to damage the mosque, Chabad spokesman Rabbi Menachem Brod said.
"This is a pure provocation by an organization that is exploiting any opportunity to incite the Arab public to violence against Israel," he said. "Every time they are looking for some other excuse to incite, and now they found it in the course."
The courses, which are being attended by "tens of thousands" of young students, include a "virtual tour" of the Temple Mount and explanations of daily Temple life, as well as the job of the kohanim (priests), Brod said.
In contrast to members of the modern Orthodox Zionist rabbinical leadership, Chabad hassidim do not even ascend the Temple Mount, he said.

As scary as it may sound, I still think it's amazing . I once heard, that from your enemies you know how powerful you are; from the fact that they're afraid of this "...serious and drastic move..." shows how powerful learning about the beis hamikdash really is; that even the amalek of this generation is scared of it.
May we merit to see these days turned over to days of happiness and joy with moshiach now, so that we can not just learn about the beis hamikdash, but actually have hands-on experience. Amein!

Lets hope that their fears are correct and that the learning of the halochos and avodah in the beis hamikdosh will bring Moshiach and remove that filth from out mokom kodoish

Yes, we learn these Halachos every year because
of the BHM"K's destruction during this time,
we hope it will be rebuilt during this time as well.
As we learn -- Tisha B'Av will be a Yom Tov !
With the coming of Moshiach and the rebuilding of the Bais Hamikdosh, speedily in our days, BimHeirah Biyomeinu.....

"Damaging to the Muslims" Of course they want the world to forget there was ever a Temple. The word SAFEK is the same numerical value as AMALEK. Which is exactly what they want to instill in us. We should all be zocheh to see the rebuiding of the Bais Hamikdash this Tisha Bav.

And what happened last year when they taught the same course? and the year before? and the year before? and the 20 years before that? Just as scientists have found the "Kohain Gene" common to most kohanim, one day they will find the "stupid gene" common to most Moslems. It this gene that allows the Moslem to believe that:
1) The Holocaust never happened.
2) The Israelis are like Nazis. (Which is meaningless if the holocaust never happened)
3) The Israelis only say the Germans killed Jews Europe in order that they should be able to steal land from Arabs in Asia. (go explain the logic behind that statement)
4) The German records show that the Nazis killed at least six Million Jews, The Germans admit this and are paying reparations because of it.
5) The Jewish population has still not recovered to it's prewar level. The UNRWA website shows the Palestinian "refugee" population has grown from 700,000 in 1950 to over 4.2 Million in 2005.
But the holocaust never happened and the Israelis are like Nazis.

Will some useful idiot bleeding-heart liberal Israeli politician or "activist" group like Sholom Achshav or Women In Black or some so-called "intellectual" moron (cheered on editorially by the likes of Haaretz or some other Establishment Media organ) now pick up on this and go running to the left-wing so-called "Supreme Court" to demand that Chabad be stopped from giving these "provocative" and "dangerous" classes since it upsets our dear innocent, long-suffering Abrahamic "cousins," the Ishmaelites?

Chabad Temple Seminar is a danger To Jews, lest they be taught that the moshiach has already come and disappeared, and will return.
That's what the Christians believe.

TO annonymous:
I guess then that study of the Talmud Bavli is also dangerous to the jews lest they be taught that moshiach can be from the departed.
why cant you just let a good course on the yerushalayim, israel and the beis hamikdash be exactly that... without enciting all your hatred and mishihgas...
find something better to koch in. something positive. something productive. achieving. goal-oriented.

arabs have reacted to chabad due to their public pro war stance against them . lets not forget the rebbe on ny radio saying ,during the yom kippur war , that israel should take damascus ! remember the halberstam boy ? there is a price to pay for rebellion amongst the nations .hashem yerachaim

Its not about the Arabs being nervous - or at all stupid.
Do not underestimate them and their deign of evil.
Rather - their modus operandi is to turn the truth around to serve their cause of Islamic ownership of all, hegemonic globalization of Islam. Israel is the portal to the rest of the world. Their game is lies, substitution of Biblical names with Islamic ones, and destruction of Jewish identified places, buildings, houses of worship and archeological treasure.
The Moslems unfortunately know a lot more about the significance of Israel to HaShem then do many Jews of our relationship with God.
Precisely why we need all Jews to study Torah, learn from Jewish instruments to know who we are, what we as an eternal nation do (the mitzvoth), our significance in the world.
No amount of jealousy and envy and strategy by our enemies can succeed when we Jews as Jews are one.
