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.
"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.
"Nightmare on Temple Mount." New York Post, 4 September 2002. Raises the prospect of a Temple Mount wall collapsing due Palestinian Authority misbehavior and Israeli government lack of concern.
"Muslim Zionism." The New York Sun, June 6, 2006. Argues that "the Muslim use of Zion represents a more powerful force today than the Jewish love of Zion." (June 6, 2006)
"What Jewish Ties to Jerusalem?" The New York Sun, June 20, 2006. Reviews how Palestinians and Muslims erased all Jewish connections to the land of Israel, replacing them with a specious Palestinian-Arab connection.
