Bibliography – My Writings on Jerusalem

Having published an article today on the new Muslim love of Zion, it seems like a good time to pull together my Jerusalem-related writings, with updates as needed..

• "The Muslim Claim to Jerusalem." Middle East Quarterly, Fall 2001. The last of several iterations of my argument that the Muslim interest in Jerusalem has always been instrumental, from Muhammad to the present.

• "Constructing a Counterfeit History of Jerusalem." DanielPipes.org, May 15, 2002. Notes the post-2001 attempts by the Palestinians to deny a Jewish connection to Jerusalem.
• "The Prophet's Night Journey to Jerusalem." DanielPipes.org, September 3, 2002. Considers a brave effort by an Egyptian writer to strip away a long-standing misreading of the Koran.
