Palestinian Mufti: All of Jerusalem is Islamic!

Palestinian Mufti: All of Jerusalem is Islamic!
Monday, August 22, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff

The Palestinian Authority-appointed Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein declared on Sunday that the entire city of Jerusalem belongs to Islam and the Arabs, and must be defended against the Jews.

Speaking on the 47th anniversary of an arson attack against the Al-Aqsa Mosque by an Australian man, Hussein urged all Arabs living in the area to surround Jerusalem’s Temple Mount to prevent further visits to the holy site by Jews and other non-Muslims.

That despite the fact that the Temple Mount, as clearly documented by the Bible and numerous historical resources, and has been Judaism’s holiest site since long before the advent of Islam.

But the Muslims have so thoroughly rewritten history to fit their agenda that even a top religious leader like Hussein can assert that “each floor of the holy city, every remnant of the city, and every centimetre attest to the fact that it is an Arab and Islamic city, whose roots lie deep in history and culture.” This is quite bizarre as Jerusalem is not even mentioned once in the Quran!

Two days earlier, Friday prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque were led by Sheikh Ismail Nawahada, who likewise rejected any historical Jewish connection to Jerusalem, and insisted that it was forbidden for Muslims to cooperate with the Jews in their “conquest” of the city. Nevertheless, the authority of G-d’s Word stands forever:

Ps 132:13-14
13  For the LORD has chosen Jerusalem; he has desired it as his home.
14  "This is my home where I will live forever," he said

2 Chron 6:6-7
6  Yet I have chosen Jerusalem , that My name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.'
