I heard a report on NPR this morning about the Muslim/Palestinian reactions to Jews, praying at the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Dome of the Rock): they're outraged. It's not allowed. They're ONLY supposed to pray at the Western Wall, and some Jews are challenging this.
The report said that they are talking about installing security cameras and increasing the security team. Any non-Muslim found praying there is taken to jail.
For praying.
They certainly didn't think this through. Surely if god is displeased, god could make that plain on his own. And this is the "holy place" for both sides . . . with both sides claiming the other is trying to usurp "god's place". As if the creator of a billion galaxies needs a single spot in the middle east! I'm not sure it's really about god anymore. It's a turf war, plain and simple.
I'm just wondering what you guys (Mystic Knight? -- wanna give an opinion?) think.
Locking people up, knifing them in the streets - - for PRAYING in the wrong place. Wow, that just sounds insane to me.
