I imagine the more important muslim states will take some symbolic measures in retaliation but the crazies will come out of the woodwork. And you're right. The WLB has just told the jihadis that they were right all along.

I still hold my belief that Jerusalem is a city important to so many religions. Nobody has the right to force a certain religion on it; neither Judaism nor Islam nor Christianity. Everybody has a right in it.
Invading the place, and take it by force, is a mere thug mentality. And thugs always meet the worst kinds of ends. I don't expect a lot from Muslim governments -actually I expect nothing-; but I'm expecting a lot from those who want to change the region (super powers), and the locals.
