I thought it was accurate. Where is it distorted?

I do not think it is propaganda. What is now "the Temple Mount" was a Christian church build by the Roman / Byzantine Empire around 350 AD when the Romans adopted Christianity and to depress any remnants of the Jewish faith. (the adoption of Christianity by the Romans was mostly in a last ditch effort to ensure the continuity of the empire and oppress the liberal movement of "Christianity". At the time "Christianity" was propagated by the Jews already in Diaspora .... one of the most painful issues for the Romans were the value of life and treatment of slaves and property and other humanistic issues in the Jewish bible which appealed to so many conquered nations at the time)

After the Arabs conquered the Mediterranean shores up to Spain, they purposely converted the Church into a Mosque to add insult to injury to the Christians, as the Romans did it to the Jews. They did the same after they conquered Constantin(opol) now Istambul and named it El Sofia (spl?) were Christian writings are still on the wall of the Mosque.

The writer is factual correct.
