While true, it makes no difference in the Muslim world. Under Islam, truth is blasphemy. Blasphemy is punishable by death. I suspect this man’s life is in danger from his coreligionists.
It is Islamic Jew-hatred that drives this hate and war, not reason and truth.
After Trump’s Recognition Of Jerusalem As Israel’s Capital, Pakistani Historian Mobarak Haidar Writes: ‘Muslims Of The World… Have No Religious Basis To Rule Jerusalem’
MEMRI, December 7, 2017:
Story continues below advertisementAfter U.S. President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, on December 6, 2017, Mobarak Haidar (above), renowned Pakistani historian and author of multiple books, wrote the following on his Facebook page:
“Jerusalem And Muslim Claims
“The Holy Koran spoke of Al-Aqsa Mosque when it was not a ‘mosque’ in the Islamic sense. It was a holy place because of the prophets of Israel, from Moses to Jesus. It was the holy spot of worship for Jews and Christians. Obviously, there were no Muslims in the city of Jerusalem till the era of Emir-ul-Momineen Umar ibn Khattab… The Prophet [Muhammad] and his followers prayed with their faces toward this Jewish-Christian holy temple because Kaaba (the present center of Islamic Hajj) was full of idols.
“After the ‘Conquest of Mecca,’ Muslims were told to turn their faces toward Kaaba and away from Jerusalem. They have never faced their loyalty toward Jerusalem after that, for the last 1,400 years. No Muslim ever went to pray in Jerusalem till it was conquered by the second caliph [Umar ibn Khattab], although there was no restriction on Muslims. They do not go there today because it was no longer their center.
“Christians were masters of Jerusalem before Muslims conquered it. It is still a holy place for Christians. But Christians have no dispute over ownership of the city. It is their religious right to visit the holy city; and the Jews do not stop them. Muslims, too, should have the same religious rights, and in fact they have those rights; Jews do not stop them. Muslims of the world, therefore, have no religious basis to rule Jerusalem. Most of the Muslims have never even wished to visit Jerusalem. As for the political claim, only Palestinians can make it and only they should negotiate.”

Brave man. I hope he has security. He’ll need it.

Maybe he is a true moderate.
Usually the true moderates are usually reformers (not apologists); and they don’t see Israel or the US as the enemy.
(also, they are honest about the radicalism and judeo-phobia in their household or community when growing up)

But I do disagree with him on this statement:
“As for the political claim, only Palestinians can make it and only they should negotiate.”
Israel is the landlord (the UN gave them the rights). Israel has the final say on everything!

Jerusalem was built by Jews and has been Jewish for thousands of years before the useless abominations existed.

Founded by Jews built by Jews inhabited continuously by Jews.
Jerusalem is Jewish to its core.
The Arabs are late arrivals that have contributed nothing but pain and death.

Since the 7th century, the irrationally macho, retrogressive muslams have contributed nothing but pain and suffering to contemporary humankind. They have relegated women to the status of livestock. Never forget FGM.
“Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an extinguisher. Conceived in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous people, it was – and it remains – incapable of adapting itself to civilization. Wherever it has dominated, it has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.” ~ André Servier
Islamized nations, who have not succeeded in freeing themselves from musulman tutelage, have been stricken with intellectual paralysis and decadence. They will only escape as they succeed in withdrawing themselves from the control of musulman law.” ~ André Servier
“The precept of the koran is perpetual war against all who deny that mohammed is the prophet of God.” “In the 7th century of the Christian era, a wandering arab spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. He declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as part of his religion.” ~ John Quincy Adams
“Show me just what muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” ~ Manuel II Palaiologos – 14th century Byzantine emperor

The only reason muslims want anything, is because they are greedy or spiteful.

Also, the Quran clearly states the land of the Jews is the land of the Jews.

Long overdue that dweebs started to get their history straight and acknowledged that, wherever you now find Islam dominant, is a place that was purged, usually forcibly.

Zechariah 12:3.
” It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.”
The first part of this prophecy was fulfilled yesterday.
The second part is unfolding slowly before our own eyes.

Yes, of course. We all know that and I don’t know why it was NOT done from the beginning. Too much hypocrisy, appeasers, traitors, anti-Semites, Demoncraps, lieberals all prevented that.
Now Jerusalem will become a heavy stone for all the world. A burden to all the world because the wild man Moslem will make it so. Both a gift and a CURSE came from Abraham.

As we see the last three articles are all about Muslims and Islam, and yet nothing is really being done about them. The world is letting them rule. We need to throw a few good bombs and put an end to them.

This is one of the many reasons I am so glad that Trump acknowledged Jerusalem as Israel’s capital: he courageously stood up to the Muslim bullies!

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel
The only reason the Palestinians want East Jerusalem as their capital is because it belongs to the Jews for the last three millennia. Recognizing the unification of Jerusalem under Israeli authority isn’t what causes violence between Israel and its neighboring Muslim enemies. It’s the anti-Semitic religious fervor, as called for in Islam. Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Qur’an while Medina and Mecca, their holy sites, are mentioned often.
