#1 Meanwhile, in the West Bank city of Nablus, acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas addressed a similar rally. He said that Jerusalem Al-Quds "will remain ours" and will always be the capital of the Arab and the Islamic world.

Jerusalem has been the capital of the Hebrews for over 3,000 years. It has never been the "capital of the Arab and the Islamic world." Those capitals have been, alternatively, Mecca, el Medinah, Damascus, and Baghdad.

The myth that in the 7th century Mohammud flew to the "furthest Mosque" on a flying jackass, while in a dream in Mecca, and from thence to the seven levels of heaven (disputed by Aisha, bless her devilish little soul), began in the mid 1800's (C.E.).

In Mohammad's time the furthest Mosque was probably in Ethiopia. Nowadays it's in Stockholm, Sweden.
