The Temple Mount - The UNESCO Vote

To me, this isn't a religious issue, this is a historical one. I'm no fan of religion, but pretty basic archaeological evidence shows that the Temple Mount holds relevance to Jews and Christians, as well as Muslims. It should be protected as history, for everyone to see and learn from, completely regardless to any individual's personal beliefs and such.

What are you trying to rationalize, God's will? So, because you're an atheist or something like that, you look at mankind's failure, faults and weakness,  and you blame God? Is that it?

if a car breaks down we don't blame the car, we blame the manufacturer.

Sorry, man, poor analogy.  The car wasn't created to be self-aware and to make its own decisions.  If a Creator designed a product that would be aware in such a way, why would he then make it follow a pre-approved path?  I don't claim to understand the Creator's motives but that much at least makes sense to me.

No, we blame RUSSIA.

As God is both omnipotent and omnipresent, and all thingacto all men, Gods will is exactly what you want it to be.

I think the issue here is political rather than theological ? 

UNESCO chose to name the building in question using its Muslim name only. Their standard procedure is to name artifacts by the names given by ALL groups that have a clear cultural connection to it. 

This was not a typographical error. The document was carefully reviewed prior to publication, and the decision - as mentioned - contradicts standard UNESCO procedure. 

It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that UNESCO was taking a deliberate and measured political stance; favouring the Muslim claim and denigrating/marginalising the Jewish claim. 

UNESCO should recall the fate of the  UN Commission on Human Rights

Its sad the whole world could go into chaos, and hell  over two brothers quarrel of Jerusalem. The temple mount was built on the spot and a rock that  Abraham sacrificed his son and promised the land.  both Isaac (Jewish)  and Ishmael ( Islamic) was thought to be that son

The behavior of those two men, brothers, no less, is a perfect example of the nature of mankind in general.  It just happens to be the most extreme example in our world today and it's fitting that the final war of humanity will spring from that same old blood feud.  Those who refuse to understand or admit the truth of it, still will not escape its consequences.
