| Israel: Police to Restrict Number of Ramadan Worshipers |
| 2004-10-13 |
| Israel Police will most likely restrict the number of Islamic worshipers permitted onto the Temple Mount this Friday, the first Friday of Ramadan. The reason is the documented structural compromise of the area known as Solomon's Stables. The situation is the result of illegal Wakf construction on the Temple Mount, which has weakened the are and left it in a precarious state. Police were warned by engineers that too many persons in the area may result in catastrophe, a total collapse of the area. (Over the years the Muslims would not stop the foolish construction, nor pay attention to many Israeli warnings about Muslim triggered weakening of one portion of the Temple Mount area which will effect the entire Mount. One medium size earthquake could bring about a pile of rubble on the Muslim side of the Temple Mount plus cause general damage. The Muslim leaders in turn will naturaly blame 'Israel' for the earthquake's resulting damage. With these people one can not win either way.) Wakf Authority officials reject the engineering assessment, and are accusing Israel of seeking to limit the number of worshipers attending Ramadan services. Wakf officials insist Jordanian engineers have inspected the area and have found it to be structurally sound. Police will probably restrict the number of visitors to the Mount on Friday to 50,000-60,000. (That remains very large mob of Jihad driven trouble makers) |

| #2 I would not restrict the number of mooselimbs allowed,they apparently know better, so let's test who's right. Maybe... I would restrict the number to a hefty margin above the number assumed to trigger structural damage. Plausible ya know what... |
