Destruction of al-Aqsa feared
March 31st 2010 03:21
Dr. Ahmed Abu Halabiya, the head of al-Quds International Institution, has warned that the reopening of Hurva synagogue is part of an Israeli plan to erect a Jewish temple on al-Aqsa ruins. The reconstructed synagogue was officially opened on March 15, 2010 in the presence of Israeli politicians and chief rabbis. The reopening of Hurva has reignited fears in the global Muslim community about the possible destruction of al-Aqsa. These concerns are reflected by groups on social networking sites: one such group to appear on Facebook recently is called 'Say No To The Destruction Of Al Aqsa'.
The al-Aqsa Mosque (the Farthest Mosque) is an Islamic holy place in the Old City of Jerusalem (Al-Quds). Al-Aqsa is popularly known as the third holiest site in Islam; it is believed by Muslims that the prophet Muhammad was transported from Al-Masjid al-haram (the Sacred Mosque) in Mecca to al-Aqsa during the Night Journey.
