WorldNetDaily has an interview with the vice-chairman of the Islamic Movement about the Temple Mount. If you haven’t read much about the Muslim view of the Temple Mount, then it’s a worthwhile read. In short, any Jewish claim to the Temple Mount is denied because it is alleged that Al-Aqsa existed there since the time of Adam and therefore Solomon’s Temple never did. It’s a classic case of historical revisionism, with major implications. At the end of the interview, the Muslim calls for evangelical Christians to support his side. Here is where he misses the obvious: to whatever degree Christians might empathize with Muslims and their situations, they will be turned off by such a blatant denial of incontrovertible historical facts.
THIS would have widespread implications for archaeological methods and conclusions if everyone believed it: “This does not mean in any way that there is a link between the people who left these things and the place where these things were left.”
It’s good to read his perspective on America’s war against “the Muslim world” and how it relates to Israel and the Messiah.
