The city of Jerusalem

I already know the reasons on why Jerusalem is important for the Jews and Christians. Other than the giant gold-mosque, what historic reference do Islam have to the holy city?

 

Just curious.

I think both christianity and islam have their roots in judaism so from that it becomes their holy city as well.

Islam recognizes all the prophets and their birthplaces and as the above have said, has its roots in Judaism and Christianity. However, Islam also teaches the notion that all the prophets were inheritently Muslim, not Jewish.

All I know that the reconquest of Jerusalem was somekind of a new beginning for Islam, some cleric wrote it when he described Saladin's victories...anyways in Quran if I remember correctly Jerusalem is being refered as the 'Furthest Mosque' and that Jerusalem was the starting point of Mohammed's visit to Heaven. And don't forget one of the most famous mosque - the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, or is it the outskirts of Jerusalem? :(

The historical reason is that Palestine was, with a few exceptions like the crusades, under Arab/Muslim rule from about 635 AD up until when the Ottoman empire gave it up to the Brittish in 1922.

 

 

 

Thats it right there.

For the jews it's the place where Isac was spared sacrifice and the muslims recon it's where mohamed accended.

 

But they basically nicked it off the Holy Roman Empire (or what was left of it).

I have to agree with Volourn.  Bioware is pretty much dead now.  Deals like this kills development studios.

The UN needs to take the city over, and make it neutral ground for all 3 religions.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Yep, why just annoy one group when you can annoy all three.

 

Historically though it looks like the Jews were there first.

I'm with Darque. No offense to the religions...but **** them. There's been enough death and bloodshed over one damned city for far too long.

Just seems they ended up back where they started before the romans evicted them.

it's just a trend .. someone label a city as holy and in a matter of decades suddenly everyone think it's holy and wanna have it .. damn pop-icons and their effect on the masses!

 

I give it another century and they'll pick a new city .. my money is on Helsinki!

I'll take that bet.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Nuke Jerusalem. Than the big three religions won't have to worry about fighting over "their" city.

Agreed. If they can't play nice then lets take the ball away and have them sit in a corner for a time out.
