Dear Dr Pipes: Thanks for showing a link to the Leah Bat-Chaim's article entitled "Why Jerusalem is not holy to Muslims". Bat-Chaims very correctly describes that it is Islamists' tendency to conquer foreign lands and usurp the holy sites of the defeated people. Every non-muslim culture in the world will have some such story to tell.
