A question about access to holy sites

[Dâriûsh]

I think both Jews and Christians should have a place of worship on the Temple Mount, if they so desire. Assuming, of course, the Chief Rabbis could agree on whether or not Jews are allowed prayer, let alone access, on the Mount (some prominent members of the Chief Rabbinate banned Jewish access to the mount a long time ago).

However, the main problem is in the last few decades these Wafq guys have managed to claim the entire Mount as a sacred zone, not just the Dome and the Al-Aqsa, and the Israeli government has unfortunately agreed. And as usual neither group cares about the Arab Christians.


Edit:

I believe (although I am not sure) that since the site was captured during the Six-Day War that it was the Government of Israeli which decided that only Muslims should be allowed to pray on the site.

Indeed they did. I guess it was a necessary political decision at the time.

Edit2: Salam Al Khalifah, are you Muslim?
