#2 Aren't these clowns supposed to like "Yusuf" too as the father of a prophet? I think al-Majaharoon in the UK issued a fatwa against some playwright who wrote a nasty play about Jesus, Mary and Joseph. No consistency with these dopes.

#3 I just wonder. What are the odds 'Allah' wanted the Al-Aqsa mosque was built on top of the old Jewish temple? I mean, didn't muslims have another place to build? Surely, the religion of peace wouldn't have desecrated the holiest shrine of another religion, right?

#4 different joseph. Joseph the son of jacob, wearer of coat of many colors, dreamer of dreams,grain administrator for pharoah in Egypt. NOT Joseph of Bethlehem, husband of Mary (who was presumably named for the above Joseph)

#5 Sorge - there was no Jewish temple standing on the mount when the muslims got there - the romans had burnt it in 69 AD, and then built a temple to Jupiter on the site. IIRC, the Christians (after Constantine) built a church there.

#6 "Deceased" is a state, is it not?

#7 So the Muslims tore down one of the holiest churchest in the world to build the Temple Mount mosque?

So far Islam has pissed off every major religion in the world ( Buhdism, Christianity, Judiasm, ect. ) and they're still wondering why they're at the bottom of the food chain?

#8 Charles,
Don't forget the Hindus for sheer number.

#9 liberalhawk-
Thanks, should have thought that through and read more closely.

In reality it would be impossible, but if Jewish Settlers would start venerating Arafat's compound, maybe the Paleos would burn it down? At least start venerating Saeb Erekat's car, but only while he's in it.

#10 Actually, there are a few Hindus who believe the Taj Mahal was a Hindu temple, stolen and "repurposed" into a Muslim tomb. The evidence I've seen is pretty convincing, but I'm no expert.
