Divide the mount into thirds and give each of the bitchy groups a chunk.  One guess as to which group would be the first to blow sh**t up over that decision.

Wow. Congratulations on posting something almost as dumb as jmfcst's crap.

First of all, the main reason the Muslims would be most upset is they already have a mosque on that site that would have to be demolished. So you're proposing demolishing not only a Muslim holy site (which of course I don't care about), but also an important historical site. Not much different than the collapse in Cologne.

Second, I'll assume you're counting Christians as one of the "bitchy groups". This is very stupid as the vast majority of Christians could not care less about the Temple Mount. Like around 95%. Only a handful of nutjobs like jmfcst do. Please note he is the only person on this forum raving about it. Even most conservative Christians would not agree with him.

Thirdly, What Christian group would you give this slice of the Mount too? The largest church, the Roman Catholic Church? Well they don't care about it and have no desire to build a church on the mount. Neither do the Armenians, Greek Orthodox, or any other Christian group in Israel. In fact, no truly international church does, just a handful of nuts, almost exclusively in the western hemisphere with no organized group. It's essentially impossible.

Fourthly, even THEY don't care about building a church on the Mount. They just want the Jewish Temple built like jmfcst, which is also an issue because...

Fifthly, the vast majority of Jews don't care about the Temple Mount either, at least not in this sense. Jews believe the Temple will be rebuilt by the Messiah, meaning anyone proposing to rebuild it is essentially claiming to be the Messiah, hence heresy. Many Jews also interpret the Messiah as being the Temple, meaning they have no desire to ever rebuild the physical Temple. The people jmfcst keeps referring to are a fringe handful of kooks with about as much influence in Israel as the Green Party has in the US.

Sixthly, there are many logistical issues to rebuilding the Temple from the Jewish perspective. Such as the Temple was built to house the Ark of the Covenant, not example an option now, and that it also contained a spot known as the Holiest of Holies considered too holy to even set foot on. Now where that spot was is quite unclear. Most religious Jews would never set foot on the Mount out of fear they'd be stepping on the Holiest of Holies.

Really, this is one of the most irrational and clearly unthought out proposals I have EVER seen on this forum. You can do better than this crap, seriously.

I was supposed to take you as seriously as you took me?  Nah, I'm good man.

Hey, do you know anything about the iTouch and home wireless networks where the security is done at the MAC address level?  I can't get my son's iTouch to connect to my wireless network.  It sees it, but it can't connect.

Does it work on others? Then it's with your network. Don't know about changing the network security itself though, that's not my area.
