Daniel Greenfield is the best around, I do believe.
It amazes me that the entire world seems to go along so mindlessy with the outright lie that any part of the Palestine region is “holy” to Islam. The story of Muhammad and the revelations and the battles all happened over in the Mecca/Medina area of what is now Saudi Arabia, not in Jerusalem. The Quran actually describes the Jerusalem area as “the homeland of the Jews” – a nice central location for killing them all at the same time come judgement day. No kidding, it’s in the Quran.
Sure, the Arabs conquered the Holy Land and built a big mosque right on top of the holiest site in all of Judea – as an insult to the Jewish People, whom their god personally hates – but that doesn’t make the “holiest site” argument any less specious. Is Paris forever-German because Hitler occupied it in the ’40s? The only hold the Muslims have on Jerusalem is the mindset that, ‘once the flag of Muhammad has flown in a place, that place is holy Muslim land for all eternity’ – just like Spain.
And yet the media carries on as if the Arab argument makes perfect sense, then they sigh, roll their eyes, and say, “These people have been fighting over the same scrap of land for thousands of years in a continuing cycle of senseless violence…tut, tut, tut…” Joseph Goebbels would have been so very pleased and proud of the way his darling media has turned out in the 21st century…
…the same happened in India – Muslim conquerors build a mosque on top of a Hindu religious site in Ayodhya
If Obama weren’t so hell-bent on losing, there would be a deadly US Army-led coalition force wiping the floor with the last ISIS zombie as we speak. Why he has chosen to alienate all the good guys and cuddle up to all the bad guys is beyond understanding. The good guys, Barry, are: Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia (for now), Syria, Israel, Iraq (before you surrendered it) and Libya (before you murdered its president), not Turkey and Qatar and Hamas and Iran. If you hadn’t declared war on Syria, you might even have the Russians on side. Imagine that…
Then comes Boko Haram. This is what all those expertly-trained fighting machines and the big shiny expensive weapons were made for, pal. Now, if you could just figure out which side to be on…
Obama has reduced the size of the US army, Navy and Air Force to the point they are no longer deadly, and he is working to destroy all of our nuclear weapons so China and Russia can dictate to us.
I’m sorry, but where is your story exactly? Assuming you do have a story, how could you turn around and blame the Egyptian government for charging and detaining anyone who could be conspiring for similar events?
If anyone is to blame for the scene depicted above, it is the ousted president Morsi. See “What construes betrayal” http://azzasedky.typepad.com/egypt/2013/10/what-construes-betrayal.html

I don’t think anyone here would disagree with that. Morsi was a monster and the US supported him and continues to support him. We live in interesting times.

Dan Greenfield nails it here, as usual:
What is a “Contested Religious Site” Anyway?

Most of the news media are leftist who refuse to report anything that might help the west and Israel is part of the west.
