Once again, extremist Muslims tried but failed to prevent Jews from accessing the holiest site in the Jewish faith, with the threat of attacks.

The Temple Mount

Dozens of Arab teens hurled rocks Sunday morning at groups of Jews who were touring the Temple Mount.

The site was open on the eve of the final day of the Passover holiday in the morning from 7:30 a.m to 11:00 a.m and scheduled to reopen from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the afternoon.

But a crowd of “at least 30″ Arab rioters gathered at about 10:30 a.m. and began hurling rocks at the Jewish visitors when they reached the site, the most sacred place in the world in Judaism.

All the groups were accompanied by a police escort, according to Israel Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld, who told Arutz Sheva that six rioters were arrested in connection with the incident.

No one was injured in the attack, he said. According to Rosenfeld, the site remained open to Jews and other non-Muslim visitors until the end of “regularly-scheduled visiting hours, and then closed on time at 11:00 a.m.”

  1. “But a crowd of “at least 30? Arab rioters gathered at about 10:30 a.m. and began hurling rocks at the Jewish visitors when they reached the site, the most sacred place in the world in Judaism”See the above news item relative to heading given to the news. It speaks of hidden motive of news paper to defame Islam what so ever case may be.

    According to actual teachings of real Islam this act of the 30 Arab rioter is totally un-Islamic and not covered under any Islamic teachings. Every one must enjoy peaceful performing of the religious ritual. Observance and implementation of real teachings of all the religions have been conditioned to the appearance of Messiah and Imam Mahdi. Unfortunate thing is that Islamic Ummah and others, as usual, have rejected this claimant as such aught to suffer such ugly incidents. Better all should divert their attention to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and read in depth its philosophy as presented by its founder who is the sole claimant of Messiah and Imam Mahdi in current era. The community presents solutions to all the problems being faced by the followers of different religions.
