| Jordan Prince Visits Jerusalem's Aqsa Mosque |
| 2012-04-05 |
| AFP - Prince Hashem, half brother of Jordan's King Abdullah II, paid a visit on Wednesday to Jerusalem, where he prayed at Al-Aqsa mosque, palace officials said. "Prince Hashem visited Jerusalem today and prayed at Al-Aqsa," the state-run Petra said in a brief statement, quoting the officials. It added without elaborating that he also met with officials of Jordan's ministry of Awqaf and Islamic affairs in the Holy City. Jordan, which has a 1994 peace treaty with Israel, is the custodian of Mohammedan holy sites in Jerusalem. One of the most sensitive places in the Middle East, the mosque is Islam's third-holiest site. It is referred to by Mohammedans as Al-Haram Al-Sharif, while it is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and is revered as Judaism's most sacred site. |

| #1 "the mosque is Islam's third-holiest site." In other words, an upside down toilet bowl right over the First Temple. |
