i think i have a good grasp of whats happening
jeruesalem is holy to both muslims and jews
jews want it for themselves
muslims want it for themselves
Dome of the Rock - is holy to muslims because it is the place believed by muslim that Muhammad (last prophet of message of God) to have gone to heaven from.. a rock thats in that mosque is where he was taken from..
AND that very same rock is the place believed by muslims that God tested Abraham to sacrifice his son on (this was just a test, even thou Abraham was going to do it, God commanded him not to after abraham was willing.. thats another issue)
now to jews.. jews believe the same place is where the temple of soloman should be built..
now the fighting..
now there is more to it then just the religous aspect..
palestinians believe its their land.
jews believe its theirs
big war going on over the land too
there is HUGE issues with this
as a muslim
i believe that there should NOT be fighting but also as a muslim i believe that defending yourself is a RIGHT that you have..
so palestinians are defending themselves with stones
and israel is attacking with tanks and other heavy weapons..
also another note:
i think this will lead to a big ass war (very sad)
becuase this time it seems like the world of muslims is involved since the dome of the rock and other holy sites in palestine are at risk
