Isn't it pathetic that they need to fabricate a web of lies to justify the tenets of their faith.

I read somewhere that muslims believe that wherever a mosque stands or stood, that land is then forever muslim. Therefore, according to their beliefs, just about every country is muslim. Today they are claiming Israel, tomorrow it will be Spain, England, US... Israel made a terrible, terrible mistake by allowing them control of the Temple Mount.
