The peninsula is considered Arab home, even in the Koran it's stated that the spiritual home of all Islam is found in the Peninsula, yes Arabs have been nomadic. However Israel is was not part of Arabia and is not part of Arabia. Another poster pretty much gave much of the uncontestable history behind Muslim conquests to show that Saudi Arabia as well as a few surrounding areas are what is considerd by even Muslims as Arabia.

One of the most confusing aspects of Jerusilem is that it holds no spiritual value to Muslims yet they fight for it so much.

TheTemple Mount is one of the holiest sites in Sunni Islam and also considered holy in Shia Islam.



Thank's but I mean't in the Qu' ran. From what I gather the only mention of anything to do with Jerusilem in the Qu' ran is that it is speculated that Muhhamad would turn to Jerusilem and cast his prayer to Allah.

However the gesture was disingenuous as he refused to do it again when the Hebrews refused to accept Islam, mind you this was before a Muslim fighting Army would be strong enough to cease Jerusilem and build the Dome of Rock.

However the term Dome of Rock as the foundation rock is misleading as the original foundation rock is found in Mecca, the confusion here has me wondering if the whole story was just made up or not.

Fact is they seem to have 3 old places of worship in Israel but it seems moot as Qu' ranic verses make very clear that the only Holy Place is in Arabia as in the whole of Arabia, that none of it should ever fall claim to any one that is not a follower of Islam. That was the context I remember from those verses. In that drawing of a line, no line was drawn around Jerusilem placing it in Arabia, instead it only says that Muhmmad looked towards Jerusilem when praying.

My point is if I didn't make it clear is that the prophet prayed toward Mecca and the black stone not Jerusilem and the prophets and that it is custom to erect mosque's in conquered lands.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.
