quote: The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein has condemned a decision by Israeli authorities to demolish the Al-Omari mosque in the village of Umm Tuba near Jerusalem under the pretext that the building had been built without a license on Sunday. Sheikh Hussein told Ma'an that the mosque was built more than 700 years go, and it was last restored in 1963. It is the only mosque in Umm Tuba.

This is wrong. I hope the Israelis are prevented from tearing down this historical building.

Well, we should do what we do for our other allies in The Middle East. Invade with guns blaring and set them right.

I have tried to find some mention of this story elsewhere but cannot. This makes me a bit suspiscious. Is there any other verification of this story any place else?

Try Google. I have found at least 20 sites carying the story. Unless of course, you put absolutely no trust in anything coming from Palestinians or progressive Israel Jews?

Sounds like an excellent plan.
