[edit] Article
This article is ridicously incorrect, in appraising the religiuos importaznce of the mosque for muslims. It is a matter of fact and widely known that the Haram al sharif(temple mount) is the third most important holy place in islam, evidenced by the amount of prayers one prayer at this site is equal to. However this article repaetedly asserts that the third holiest is this site in cyprus. the fact that the header -holy status in islam- in which this ludicrous claim is made ; has been added by a person with posts relating exclusively to jewish or israeli-arab conflict issues says enough. It's a pathetic attempt to deny the Temple Mount's importance to Islam. This, coupled with the fact that the rest of the article violates copyright, it should be deleted or seriously rewritten. a mere wiki disclaimer stating that the informationis contrary to worldwide view is not sufficient

Ok u seem to be under the assumption im faisal, im not. My name is kfeto im 25, i live in brussels. I connect from the Free university of brussels (u can check this from my ip which always starts with 134.184...) to get back to topic, if u have even a shred of intellectual honesty you'd admit that maintaining this claim that this mosque is considered third holiest is ludicrous. the fact you've been able to scrape tpgether a few sites on the internet saying it is, means nothing if you consider that all these sites all non-islamic(not to say that a non-muslim wouldnt be able to make a statement about what islam considers to be holy or not), not even sites specifically about islam or claiming to be knowledgable in islamic topics, but either cypriot, tourism or real-estate! sites having an interest in 'upgrading' the sites status. There is an authentic hadith explaining the amount of prayers a prayer at one of the three holy sites is worth, these include as third holiest the mosque of umar(the temple mount). But this is not even about the status of that site(which i understand is very sensitive to you as an observing jew) but about this site, the sultan hala mosque, which quite frankly, -god forbid- if the mosque of umar would not have existed, still would not have been considered holy (enough) to occupy the then vacant 'third holiest site in islam' kfeto
- I'm sorry, but none of what you have said makes this information invalid for inclusion on Wikipedia. Chesdovi 16:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
cut the crap, you're not talking to a 2year old. its not the inclusion i'm contesting its the evidently manipulative and flawed manner(weasel-like is the word you use on wiki i believe ) in which the information is being represented that im objecting against. kfeto i forgot to sign earlier
- Please see Talk:Third holiest site in Islam (expression)/Archive 1#George E. Bowen when this issue was discused at great length. Those opposed to this site featuring on the Holiest sites in Islam page agreed that it could be included on this page. By the way, it was myself who removed it from Holiest sites in Islam. There is nothing manipulative and flawed. According to you it may be, but this isn't Kfetopedia. Chesdovi 10:52, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
