Zionism likes to use religious stories and symbolism, when not employing persecution stories.

1. We were discussing the importance of the Wall to Judaism, not Zionism. You have often claimed to have no opposition to Judaism. You just disparage its entire history as "religious stories" under the guise of anti-Zionism.

2. 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?

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

The Wall has little to do with the Temple.

The wall was and is around the Temple mount. How could you say it has nothing to do with it? It is the only symbol left from the original Temple.

Jews have been praying at this site for centuries, before Zionism movement was started.

What time is Zinni scheduled to make an appearance at Yad Vashem?

What, are you now against Holocaust too?

Very well put. And what is particularly conniving about it is that they simulatneously accuse the MUSLIMS of using quasi-religious sites as pawns in the turf war. It's very clever to accuse your opponent of using your own dirty tactic.
