A group led by Rav Yisrael Ariel this week, who heads the Temple Institute in Jerusalem’s Old City, led to a statement from Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa, who decried the Jewish tefilla on the “Muslim holy site”.
Moussa released a statement opposing Jewish prayer on the Mount, which he insists is holy to Islam, adding foreign prayers on the Mount is a “blow to Islam”, especially during Ramadan, and it should not be permitted.

what is this man, Moussa, afraid of? that the ‘G-d of Islam’ might listen to the prayers of these Jews.
As deplorable and disgusting as it is to see a foreign structure on Har HaBayit,- if it WASN’T there, considering the type of “governments” we have had in Israel, it could have been much worse – they might have built a mall or a soccer stadium on the site!
