Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says the Palestinians, who were holed up in the Al Aqsa Mosque, attacked officers with fireworks and rocks they had stockpiled inside the mosque.
He says police then locked the protesters in the mosque and opened the site to tourists and Jewish visitors. Later, protesters attacked police again. Police dispersed them using “riot-dispersal means.”
Minor skirmishes erupted at the site on Sunday also.
Muslims refer to the site as the Noble Sanctuary, where the Prophet Muhammad embarked on his night journey. Jews refer to it as the Temple Mount, where Jewish temples stood in biblical times.
Ok how many arrests. Have “youths” been banned for the rest of Ramadan? The answers to these questions do not need an answer since it is clear what the answer is
The Zionists under Dayan had a chance to destroy this foreign building in 67, instead they respected the religion of their so called “defeated” enemies over their own Jewis citizens and now this remains, a legacy of Zionist cowardice.
Any Muslim displaying a propensity toward violence should be met with lethal force. All these riot dispersing things are only “politically correct”, but practically stupid. These savages are rabid animals, and eliminating them is the only answer. Two state solution – for these savages?
Why is that fable of muhammad’s imaginary journey from mecca to jerusalem still being spoken of .In the arabic language the word for the trip used is ‘ mirage’ which is simple enough for any speaker of english to understand as being unreal.
while i find almost all of “Kenyan’s” comments to be both uninformed and idiotic ot say the least, this one actually makes sense. This mosque should never have been allowed to remain.
