What sparked violence on Jerusalem's Temple Mount today? - explainer
2021-07-19
Moslems who won't let anybody else pray on their holy spot would be my guess.
[Jpost] Over 1,600 Jews mark Tisha Be’av on the Temple Mount on Sunday following clashes between Muslim worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque and Israel Police.

On Saturday night, July 17, Jews around the world began commemorating Tisha Be’av. The solemn fast day observed on the ninth day of the month of Av in the Hebrew calendar marks the destruction of two Jewish temples in Jerusalem: The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, and the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 CE.

It gets better. And then they added a part about how all this stuff is G*d's own idea and if you change a word, it's curtains for you pal!

As a memetic virus, Islam is very well engineered.

#1  Well there was this group of nomads who's been a problem in ME for thousands of years - their propensity for taking staff that doesn't belong to them. And then they invented a religion that says G*d wants them to take staff that doesn't belong to them.
