| Muslim cleric objects to repairing Western Wall stones |
| 2008-04-16 |
| The top Muslim cleric in Jerusalem, Mohammed Hussein, on Tuesday said he would object to Israel carrying out repair work on the Western Wall. Hussein said that the wall is a part of the attached Al Aksa mosque, warning that any Israeli action there would be seen as aggression. The rabbi who oversees the wall has said that some of its stones need to be restored. Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz said small stone blocks on top of the wall were sliding apart. He said he hoped to have them fixed in the summer. |

| #8 A little napalm on a Friday afternoon would put an end to the problem in perpetuity. Of course, you've got to have steel cojones to do something like that. Unfortunately, that's EXACTLY what is needed to deal with ay-rabs. |

| #6 The Knights Templar laid claim to it centuries ago, using al Aqsa as their HQ. Sovereignty in perpetuity? Some believe Freemasons are modern descendents of the Templars, so maybe the Shriners could lend a hand in rebuilding! |

| #5 the wall isnt part of the mosque, its a support wall for the mount on which the mosque (or whatever you learned gentlemen call it) sits. To claim its part of the mosque is just pushing, rug dealer style. Its very simple to push back and move ahead with repairs. |

| #4 Exactly. It is a joke that the British did not set things straight when they had the chance. Worse that the Israelis do not do so now. It is our misplaced courtesy that will get us all killed. |

| #3 It's not a mosque. It's the stolen Church of St. Mary of Justinian. Evict the arab thieves and wall repair will be no problem. |

| #2 The Israelis should just relocate the wall to a more suitable and safer location. It would still be the same wall and just as revered. It was holding up the mosque? Oops. |
