interesting but clearly twisted and biasedReader comment on item: If I Forget Thee: Does Jerusalem Really Matter to Islam? Submitted by ramzi (Qatar), Mar 1, 2007 at 02:33 many facts mentioned in your article are true and sound but I disagree with the way issues, facts and historical evidence are brought up ... one recent evidence is that when jerusalem was in muslim hands during the ottoman era - during the last ruling years of emperor abdulhamid- many zionist and jewish organizations were trying to offer financial aid to the ottoman empire in exchange to certain rights in jerusalem. why would abdul hamid refuse such generous offers at the time where the ottomans needed financial aid so much had jerusalem been a non holy city for muslims? ...
