Why should Christians and Jews be forced to pay an occupying Muslim force to see the Rock where Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac? There shouldn't be any entrance fee to the world's most holy spot! Why does Jerusalem permit militant Muslims to defy (on a daily basis) Israel's 1967 Law for the Protection of the Holy Places that supposedly guarantees "freedom of access" for all to their respective religious sites? Just let any Christian or Jewish journalist attempt to exercise this "religious liberty" and then report on how they've been taken into "protective custody" to protect them from angry Muslims who dominate the scene! Why not remove the threat?
Why should Muslim money changers demand that Christians pay for the upkeep of their mosques? Especially when such offensive foreign shrines include inscriptions on their walls from the Koran that mock Christ and Christians? "This is the whole truth about Jesus, the son of Mary, which they are unwilling to accept: Allah forbid that He Himself should beget a son!" (Sura 19:35-36); "Say: 'Praise be to Allah who has never begotten a son, who has no partner in His kingdom" (Sura 17:111).
Adding further insult to potential injury is the fact that Christians and Jews can only visit the site of where the Temple stood twice as paying tourists! Israel has now law against Christians or Jews praying or reading scriptures on the Temple Mount. However, it does have an unwritten agreement with the Wakf (Muslim religious authorities) that shamefully prohibits this. No sign is posted, stating: "WARNING! Christian and Jewish prayers are forbidden! Bibles not allowed inside by Muslim religious authorities. Proceed with caution!" Why should Muslims be granted jurisdiction over non-Muslims? This is upside down! Biblically, non-Israelites were forbidden upon penalty of death to trespass on certain areas of the Temple Mount. Now gentile foxes roam freely while the Children of Israel are closely supervised and treated like dogs! This deplorable situation must change!
The true battle for Jerusalem lies at the heart of Jerusalem: the Temple Mount. Whoever controls the holy hill will exercise ultimate authority over all Israel. Until the Temple Mount is restored to its rightful Jewish owners it will increasingly become a mountain of troubles. Israel must reclaim Judaism's most holy site, ending its abomination of desolation, and prepare the place for its sole purpose: to house the Temple of Jacob's God!

And then you are going to sacrifice goats, right?

I visited the dome of the rock when visiting Israel as a child with my family. I really don't think Christians are offended by the requests to respect the Muslim's taboos when on their turf. We had to remove our shoes, but to the best of my recollection that was the only inconvenience we had to endure.
I don't put much stock in sacred places, anyway. If you are spiritual, you can be as close to God in the woods as in the Church of the Nativity. We certainly don't need another war over allegedly sacred patches of earth. You can have your Ka'aba, your crumbling walls of Jerusalem, your Church of Nativity with its billowing clouds of incense. Build a Temple and start a war, just leave me out of it. Israel is a country of dust and rock and ruined cities- those who want it may have it. I want no part in that battle.
Please, just leave the rest of us alone.

Christian-Zionists, who take their religion seriously, are offended that an illegitimate Nazi-Muslim occupation of the TEMPLE Mount with their foreign mosques violently refuse to let Christians and Jews exercise their freedom of religion in ISRAEL - it's not Ishmael. It's NOT their turf: the Temple Mount is Judaism's holiest site that has been desecrated by pagan Muslims and woefully neglected by Jews who have shirked their responsibilies! Yes, we can worship God anywhere since He is a SPIRIT, but when that God has chosen the TEMPLE Mount as a special place of worship and the future site of His royal House of Prayer for ALL Peoples, who are the militant Muslims to say otherwise and attempt to fight His Will? IF another war starts over Israel finally exericising their biblical and sovereign rights over the TEMPLE Mount, then the Muslim enemy will lose and be driven far away, somewhere to the West or into the sea, as should have occurred before! You are surrendering to terrorist threats if you fear for the Israelis to obey their God and build the Temple. Such faithless inaction will only breed more insolence and terrorism from the Muslim invaders. Their days of occupation are numbered! Soon everyone who wants to worship the Biblical God of ISRAEL, the Great Creator God, will be FREE to pray and read and study upon the TEMPLE Mount in a House of Prayer for ALL Peoples - not just Muslims!

We heard him (Christ) say, 'I will destroy this man-made temple and in three days will build another, not made by man.' " Mark 14:58
The temple's already been built, David. For good...for all time.
Christ alone is sufficient.

Being an idiot is a prerequisite for becoming a "Christian" Zionist.
