recent poll by the Yesodot Center reveals that a vast majority of Israelis prefer either for every religious group be allowed to pray on the Temple Mount at any time, or for there to be separate but equal times for the Mount to be open for adherents of major religions.

Based on a sample of 500 adults, 37 percent agreed that there should be free access to adherents of all religions who wished to pray at the Temple Mount, and another 36% said that specific prayer hours should be established for different religious groups.

Just as many self-described secular Jews supported equal rights for Jews on the Mount as religious Jews who answered the survey.

And practically no one liked the idea of the Muslim Waqf maintaining control over the holiest site in Judaism.

Predictably, this poll has caused a firestorm of criticism in Arab media, with headlines like "Israeli poll urges desecrating Al Aqsa."

The PLO's Department of Jerusalem Affairs denounced the poll, saying that it "supports the storming and desecration of the Jews of the Al-Aqsa Mosque" and that "a large proportion of Jewish extremists are in favor of the establishment of Talmudic prayers inside the Aqsa Mosque."

By the way, the PLO Department of Jerusalem Affairs website is filled with the most bizarre articles warning of "Talmudc rituals" and saying that Israel is waging war on the entire Muslim world because of a couple of Jews walking on the Temple Mount or praying outside one of its gates.

Their "history" of Jerusalem says that it was not considered important by anyone until the Persian Empire took it over at the request of Queen Esther, thereby skipping any mention of Kings David or Solomon even though they are in the Quran.
