Muslims are condemning a new wedding site set up in the Old City of Jerusalem that overlooks the Kotel.
No, it is not on the Temple Mount. It is not even within the Kotel courtyard. It is a hundred meters away, apparently around the site of Aish HaTorah, overlooking the courtyard and the Kotel:
The Al Aqsa Heritage Foundation condemned this, saying it contributed to the "Judaization" of Jerusalem and is "affecting the basis of Islamic civilization and heritage."
Other Arab media reported this horrible crime.
I think they would condemn photos of Jerusalem in Jewish homes if they thought about it.
It does look like a great spot for a wedding though, doesn't it?
By the way, a group associated with this same Al Aqsa Heritage Foundation has been offering free Muslim weddings on the Temple Mount, something that was as far as I can tell never done historically, in order to forge another false bond between Islam and the site it usurped.
