If more of us corrected these 'mistakes' the West would have a clearer idea of how important the Temple Mount is to us, ..and the carriage of these 'mistakes' would be far more apparent. The Islamic lobby, press and their supporters are so quickly creating 'new facts' on the ground, the History and importance of Israel and the Temple Mount and old original Jewish areas and settlements in the Middle East are being buried.

Before 1967, Muslims didn't give a crap about the site.
