Talk:Temple Mount and Eretz Yisrael Faithful Movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do not like the Temple Mount Faithful, however, let's be clear about their motives. Their primary goal is the reestablishment of a Jewish Temple. According to them, the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque serve as an impediment to this, since according to Jewish law, there can only be one Temple and that in a very specific location on the Temple Mount. In order to build that Temple, the TMF supports the removal of the mosques, whether by the (rather impractical) plan of moving them or by the (rather violent) plan of blowing them up. Also, there are several different factions in this movement, which is not nearly as unified as this piece suggests. In fact, a more moderate faction simply advocates the creation of a Jewish prayer area in the southern extreme of the Temple Mount (today, no non-Muslim prayers are allowed on the Mount). Just striving for some accuracy. Danny
