#1 Like I said, there's no satisfying these asswipes.

#3 Why can't Isreal bomb these meetings when they are taking place? Even just take a sniper shot from a mile away, there's guns that can make the distance.

#4 Israel essentially holds that mosque hostage. But it does them no good unless they make it clear under what exact circumstances they will demolish it.

In addition to razing it, it is the cultural and religious prerogative of Israel to re-build the Jewish temple on that site. Doing so is the ultimate legitimacy of the Jewish state to the Jewish people around the world. For once the temple is up and running, and yes, performing sacrifices, arguments about the messiah coming or whether or not the temple can be rebuilt are moot.

#7 Anonymoose, the Jews are not going to rebuild the Temple. We've evolved past that form of worship -- that's why we invented prayer services around 400 B.C. Perhaps the Ultra-orthodox would like to, but they are such a tiny minority that their voice is generally ignored, even if that perfect Red Heifer should suddenly appear. Only if a provable Messiah should come, who can demonstrate direct and legitimate descent down the male line from King David (no bastards or adoptions allowed), will the notion even be contemplated.

#8 Ratz, my descentd is kinda vague before 1800, I assume they were human. Us black angus out of the question?

#9 Me, too, Shipman. But I'll bet with that Black Angus in your ancestry, you are one good looking gentleman! Although I imagine you might be grateful that hairy masculine backs are coming back into fashion. (No, I do not understand the trend, but I didn't understand the trend toward dolphin-like hairlessness either.)

#11 But it is our beloved Shipman, Frank. What else could I have said? ;-)
