It was a tongue in cheek post. However, it is an interesting proposition.

Will the muslim population fo the world despise Iran after their nuclear warheads destroy the mosque on the Temple Mount?

I was discussing that with an observant jewish friend a couple days ago, he said religious Israelis would not support the rebuilding of the Temple in a million years, and would actively resist it, on account of nobody knows where the holiest of holies of the old temple is buried ... and you don't want to run a bulldozer through the holiest of holies for the sake of a new temple, doesn't score you points with G__.

"Orthodox Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount, who come especially from those groups associated with the movement to rebuild the Temple, seek to conform to the minimal requirements for entering the holy place, such as only wearing linen and not showing their back towards its presumed location out of reverence. Most Orthodox Jews today completely avoid climbing up to Temple Mount, to prevent themselves from accidentially stepping on the Most Holy Place. They consider this as something forbidden to all but a future high priest, to be ordained only after the coming of Messiah."
