Arutz-7 has this interesting report on a guide to the Temple Mount, published by the Supreme Moslim Council in 1925. On page 4, it states this about the historical importance of the Temple Mount: “Its identity with the site of Solomon’s Temple is beyond dispute. This, too, is the spot, according to universal belief, on which “David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings”. (2 Sam. 24.25).
A facsimile of the 16-page booklet can be downloaded from the Temple Institute website.
So, all the recent Palestinian hype about the Temple Denial (meaning that there never stood a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount) holds no water, but is political posturing only.
As long as Muslims and rabbis (see previous post) ignore archaeological evidence, there will be no end to political and religious arguments.
