Al-Aqsa Mosque Is in No Danger
(Gatestone Institute) Bassam Tawil - The Palestinians have been sending their children to the streets of Israel and the West Bank to murder Israelis again. And for what? Is Al-Aqsa mosque in danger? It is not. But the cynical, calculating Fatah, PLO, Hamas and Islamic Movement in Israel are desperate to bring the Palestinian issue back to the headlines. The Palestinian "martyrs" for the sake of Allah are victims of the misconception that Allah wants us to die for Him. But Allah forbids us to murder. Muhammad forbids us to murder. The Qur'an forbids us to murder. Sadly, the Palestinians, instead of looking like people who want peace, look like Muslim extremists. The knife-wielding Palestinian children - and the other young people who commit murder - are not a spontaneous occurrence. They do not simply "spring" full-blown from an "endangered Al-Aqsa." They are the product of a careful, methodical, ongoing tactic of brainwashing about how glorious it is to become a martyr by murdering. Is al-Aqsa mosque now less in danger? Given that, throughout the Middle East, mosques are being blown up one after another, Al-Aqsa mosque is not only in no danger, it is eminently secure.
