“‘Jihad Tourism’ on the Rise at Temple Mount,” by Baruch Yadid, TPS, November 8, 2022:
(TPS) Sources in the Islamic Waqf, which administers the Temple Mount, told TPS on Monday that marriage contracts will now be processed at the Al Aqsa Mosque rather than in a Sharia Court office in eastern Jerusalem.
The aim is to strengthen the Muslim presence on the Temple Mount by bringing Palestinian residents to the mosque.
It was also learned that there has been a significant increase in the number of Muslim delegations visiting the Jerusalem holy site after visits dropped during the coronavirus pandemic.
Waqf officials estimate that 700 Muslims from Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and South Africa visit the Temple Mount plaza every day.
In eastern Jerusalem, these visits are known as “Jihad Tourism.”
Many of these tourists — particularly from Turkey — have participated in violence on the Temple Mount, as TPS has previously reported based on police sources….

Israel: Muslims from Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, and South Africa go to Temple Mount to engage in ‘Jihad Tourism’
………………………………………
Oh, great–just when you think there are enough forms of Jihad, pious Muslims come up with more. And obviously Muslims don’t actually consider Israel a real threat or they wouldn’t go there.
But if Israel starts limiting Muslim visits she will be further excoriated.

From the few Muslims I’ve spoken to, some of them truly believe their ‘holy sites’ are protected by Allah. They’ve said that if the US/Israel bombed Mecca/Kaaba or the Temple Mount, then it would bring their beliefs into serious question.
The best thing Israel can do is to destroy the mosque at the Temple Mount. It was after all built on top of a Jewish temple, so how could a fake building built on the site of an older building be considered holy?
Of course the Muslims will scream and shout, but isn’t that what they do all the time already? Once Muslims are shown their religion is a fraud, millions will definitely leave the faith.
It was a foolish mistake to allow any Islamic presence in Israel, now they can continue to harass and attack Jews for thousands of years. Just declare it was stolen land, rebuild the temple, remove the mosque and then Muslims will have no reason to go there.
If non-Muslims were smart and united, we could end Islam in a short period of time. Unfortunately it won’t happen until everyone’s lives has been affected somehow by these cretins.

If we bombed or destroyed their holy sites, we would be no better than them.
Who is to say that they wouldn’t move the goal posts? Something that is firmly entrenched is not easily rooted.
A better way would be to show them that the roots of their religion do not hold them to jihad. In the the 600’s Muhammad was “The Praised One” who was Jesus. For example, coins from the 600’s show Muhammad with a cross. Islam is a product of the Nabataean religion and a doomsday cult of Arianists. The Arianists thought that they could hasten the second coming by conquering Jerusalem which they did. But the end did not come, and the Nabateans sort of moved into the void. From the Nabateans we have the pilgrimage, mosques, Koran, and dietary laws along with other things that are now part of Islam. From the Arianists we have that Muhammad (Jesus) was a prophet not a God.
Neither the Nabateans nor the Arianists practiced jihad.
As Islam grew in fame and power, the existing Korans were recalled, and new Korans were issued along with the hadiths. So about 200 to 300 years after the conquering of Jerusalem we get this story that Muhammad was not Jesus but some guy who live in Mecca in the 600’s. However, Mecca did not exist at that time; it was started shortly after that.
The reason for the story is that the people in power wanted to unite their empire under one religion as Constantine and Charlemagne attempted to do. Since they already had their hybrid religion of sorts, that is the vehicle they attempted to use.

“If we bombed or destroyed their holy sites, we would be no better than them.”
The most pathetic argument I’ve heard to surrender in the face of the Jihad onslaught.
“Guys we want to show we’re better than them so let them keep bombing us while we keep dying, that shows we’re really the superior ones.”
“A better way would be to show them that the roots of their religion do not hold them to jihad.”
Joe you sound a bit like Mortimer who thought we could stop Islamification by convincing Muslims to reject Islamic teachings.
You think that’s never been tried before? We’ve had many deradicalization programs that all failed. Why should a Muslim listen to an Infidel on scripture? They hate us and want us dead.
This jackhole is trying to convince non-Muslims to not defend themselves against Islamification. If you genuinely cared about ending the violence why aren’t you telling your Muslim buddies to stop fighting us and that the scriptures were misinterpreted?
You’re just a troll and nobody will listen to you here. Go to Lefty sites, they’ll swallow anything.

Precisely! I’m sick of the “we are better than them” argument. The moment someone says that, it vaporizes his or her credibility

“It was a foolish mistake to allow any Islamic presence in Israel”
Yes.
And it’s much harder to get rid of muslims after the fact…
Fitna says
Indeed James, they lacked foresight after defeating the Arab armies trying to stop the formation of Israel.
You give Muslims an inch and they’ll try to take your country. They should’ve quickly reversed their decision, but like you said, now it’ll be very hard to remove them.
It’ll cause int’l uproar but it’d still be the right decision.

WHY oh why were these people allowed past the immigration desk? Somebody please tell me.
wpm says
They are “Tourist” whose main reason to be there to go to Israel is promote and commit terrorism .They never pass an immigration desk. If Israel bans these “Tourist” they will be label racist by the woke mob of the west ,like the authorities who were ask the police to stand down when BLM were rioting ,burning and rampages thru blue cities in America.

“If Israel bans these “Tourist” they will be label racist by the woke mob of the west”
Yes.
But it shouldn’t matter…
VictorMc says
WHO cares? Israel is always reviled anyway so have nothing to lose. IF I were in charge they would never get past their place of immigration control. Back on the next plane, bus train, whatever….they would not last 10 minutes. Oh, and I would make a ‘small’ charge they would soon learn from me.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Why doesn’t Israel simply deny visas to this bunch? They are under no obligation to grant visas to everyone who applies! In fact, given how even ‘allies’ like Bahrein and the Emirates have voted against them in the resolution of subjecting them to the ICC, Israel should put a moratorium on granting visas to muslims from anywhere!
VictorMc says
EXACTLY. Israel should not care they are reviled by the world crackpots anyway. See my posts above.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
And learn from Burma! They kicked out their muslims, and every country that took them as refugees learned the hard way why Burma was right
