"Notice how you never called the identification of Jerusalem with Al-Aqsa and the Night Journey of Mohammed a "religious story", even though the Dome of the Rock obviously has far less factual connection to Mohammed than the Wall has to the Temple? How come only the Jews rely on worthless "religious stories", not the Arabs?"

You are absolutely correct, I am approaching the subject as a political problem..colonialism. My only problem with Judaism is when some "members" of the faith use it as a fulcrum to take other's land. I make a special place in my heart for the secular, non-Jews who want to reclaim "Jewish" land and use religious stories to that end. They are my favorites.

It is the Zionists/Israelis who like to employ religious stories and symbols and the Palestinians follow in turn.

Did you have a time for when Zinni to make his appearance at Yad Vashem?

Quack, quack.
