Two Jews were detained by police and held for hours on Sunday morning for the simple act of kneeling while on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The two, Yosef Ben-Avraham of Shilo and Yekutiel ben-Yaakov of Kfar Tapuach, were on the Mount as part of the Holy Temple Festival held in Samaria beginning on Saturday night.
While Jews are allowed to visit certain areas of the Temple Mount under strict police supervision, they are not allowed to pray or to make any visible gestures expressing their Jewish belief, for fear of inciting Muslim riots.

Isn't this the saddest reflection of militant religion. for all their lip service of how Jews were "treated respectfully" Muslims only want to see us non-existent. They are resurrecting anti-semitism in Europe because they can't beat us militarily. The Temple Mount threat is, unfortunately, influencing the Police to side against Jews and that can be chalked up to a Muslim victory......And we had such good faith in our security services!
