#1 Again...as if there were any doubt. large doses of islam leads to insanity, delusions, and homicidal tendencies.

#3 And for any of you Rantburgers who might have remembered...anymouse's son is alive and well in Fallujah. Thanks for thoughts and prayers for him and all the other brave US warriors in harm's way so that we all may sleep soundly at night.

#4 One day I'll walk with my grandson, and he'll ask me "Grandpa, what is Islam?".

#7 You know, given the muslim tendency to blow up anything they disagree with (particularly things important to others religions) it would be fitting and proper for the Al Aqsa mosque AND the Dome of the Rock to be obliterated and the pieces dumped at sea.

#9 In that future scenerio without Islam I assume copies of TRUE LIES will still be available even if Hollywood has glorified Islam and tried to make the west feel guilty and all.

#10 What a wonderful religion. You can ignore any data that doesn't support your view, call down blame and guilt on those that oppose you, destroy property of those that oppose you and have your mouthpieces whitewash the act.

Sounds like the Green ~~religion~~ movement.

#11 Best yet, mhw:

#12 What's really on the Temple Mount:

Church of St. Mary of Justinian (Temple Mount, Jerusalem)

The Church of St. Mary was a Byzantine church that was built in Jerusalem during the reign of Justinian and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The church was located on the Temple Mount.

Byzantine historian Procopius wrote that the church was built in 560 AD and burned down by the Persians in 614. Later after the Muslim conquest of the Holy Land, this church eventually was converted into what is the present day Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque was built 20 years after the Dome of the Rock, which was built in 691-692 by Khalif Abd El Malik (the name "Omar Mosque" is therefore false). Therefore, in or around 711, or about 80 years after Mohammed died, Malik's son, Abd El-Wahd (who ruled from 705-715) reconstructed the Christian- Byzantine Church of St. Mary and converted it into a mosque. He left the structure as it was, a typical Byzantine "basilica" structure with a row of pillars on either side of the rectangular "ship" in the center. All he added was an onion-like dome on top of the building to make it look like a mosque. He then named it El-Aqsa, so it would sound like the one mentioned in the Koran.[1]

There are no buildings stemming from the religion of Islam that are anything like the DOR--it is quintessentially Orthodox Byzantine--just like Hagia Sophia in Turkey. End of story.

#13 Oh, and if there was no Jewish Temple there in the first place (BTW, NOT directly under the church/"mosque" anyway), why have the Arabs been trucking out loads of dirt and artifacts from underneath the Temple Mount in the dead of night--for how many years now?

#17 Ex-lib, last time I was there, our hosts said that the Temple had been located in the open area behind the Dome of the Rock. Nothing there now (well, at least in 95).

#18 Interestingly, some Muslims in India make the same claim about the Babri Masjid site - that there was never a Hindu temple there.

#19 The Knights Templar also had their HQ's on the Temple Mount, post-dating the Muslims.
