When an mega-earthquake reduces the 'Doom of the Rock' these guys will still blame Israel, and maybe even Bush as well ..lol JEDDAH, July 28th, 2004 — Two Saudi-based international Islamic organizations warned yesterday of Muslim anger in the event of an attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and said any attack on Islam's third holiest shrine could trigger trouble on a large scale. The Jeddah-based 55-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference and the Makkah-based Muslims World League said Israel would be held responsible for any aggression against the mosque. "Any strike on Al-Aqsa Mosque will stir feelings of anger among Muslims around the world and lead to trouble on a large scale and unforeseeable serious consequences for peace and security in the world," OIC Secretary-General Abdelouahed Belkeziz said in a statement. He said the Muslim world would hold the Israeli government responsible for any aggression against the mosque, holiest to Muslims after the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. Israel's interior minister, Tzahi Hanegbi, warned earlier in the week of a terrorist attack by Jewish extremists on Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli police yesterday barred Jews from entering the mosque for fear of unrest. The OIC was founded in 1969 following an attempt by Jews to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque by setting fire to the shrine that caused extensive damage to the building. It aims to promote international solidarity among Muslims and political, economic, and social cooperation among its member states. In Makkah, MWL Secretary-General Abdullah1 Al-Turki warned of a new aggression by Israel to destroy the mosque saying this could result in a "bloody massacre of Muslims" attending the mosque. He said the statements by the Israeli minister and other officials are an indication that extremist Jewish organizations are planning a large-scale attack on the mosque.
