SACRED TO MUSLIMS: Site of Prophet Muhammad's first prayers and ascent into Heaven, home to al-Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock
SACRED TO JEWS: Site of first and second Temples and the rock on which Abraham offered his son as a sacrifice. Western Wall is the holiest site in Judaism
Questions:
1. What is meant by "first prayers"?
2. Is not the Temple Mount the holiest site whereas the Western Wall is secondary, being but the external support wall?

Muhammed's "ascent into Heaven" was "in his dreams..." not the real thing. In fact, Muhammed NEVER came to Jerusalem.
And let's make this clear: the son that Abraham took to the top of Mt. Moriah was not just any son, it was Yitzhak - ONLY Yitzhak.
