Muslims do belive this is a sacred rock but not because Abrahim(Peace be upon him) prepared to sacrifice his son Issac. It is sacred because our Prophet Mauhammad (peace be upon him) was taken to heavens from here. Also Muslims believe Prophet Abraham prepared to sacrifice his older son "Ismail" not "Issac" and that whole episode is remembered and celebrated every year during the festival of Eid-ul-Adha during the Hujj season. A little bit of authentic reasearch will bring more credibility to your site. Hi, You have got some facts wrong.

After many many hours of studying and learning concerning the site , it occurred to me that what is happening there and has been happening there is falling into G*d's plan. I speak of the "unauthorized" repairs and excavations that are taking place daily in the area. I am truly convinced that the Jewish community who are against such happenings are not thinking correctly in this regard. We know the history and to some degree the nature of how G*d deals with those who are against HIM. HE usually allows them to "dig thier own graves" and the enemies of G*d's choosen are always destroyed. Knowing this as it pertains to what is happening at the Mount, then we can assume there is a purpose that G*d has in "allowing " this to happen. I truly believe, after hours of prayer and studying that the reason is simply this. They are destoying the mount piece by piece. The temple will be destoyed either through natural disaster or through the extensive renovations that is taking place. When it falls HIS people will build G*d's temple on the rock.I am so surprised that our people even allowed it to have fallen in the enemies hand in the first place. Maybe that is the price we are paying for being too "frightened" to stand for what G*d gave us in the first place. HE will only give it back , when we grow some back bone again. Our stength comes from HIM not from how big our armies are or who are our allies.We either believe G*d is "all Powerfull or not.ONE man who prays to G*d from his heart, who finds favour in HIS eyes has more power then all the armies in the world, if G*d wishes to act upon HIS will. We well know that G*d listens to any man who strives to know HIM and follow HIS ways.We will get our temple back very soon, but we must be prepared to have conviction in sustaining the rightfull ownership of our temple.We must "first" learn to depend on G*d for everything "again", and follow HIS ways. Our precious people must be unified once again. Dear Sir or Ms: Being of Jewish descent I take great concern as to the situation surounding the “temple Mount”.

He was a venerable old man when he died in 1990, but not quite as old as your refernce would suggest!! Glad he took the photos for our benefit.
