PLO to sue ancient Christian and Muslim scholars for using term "Temple Mount"

From the PLO Negotiations Affairs Department:

Concern over the use of the inaccurate term “Temple Mount” to refer to Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound in Jerusalem

Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound, sometimes referred to as the Noble Sanctuary (“Haram al-Sharif ” in Arabic), is the compound that contains Al Aqsa building itself, ablution fountains, open spaces for prayer, monuments and the Dome of the Rock building. This entire area enclosed by the walls which spans 144 dunums (almost 36 acres), forms the Mosque.

...Today, many settler leaders, with the support of the Israeli government, continue to incite against this sacred site, and consequently provoke Palestinian fears and anger. Israel, the occupying power, has failed at stopping settler extremists from entering the Mosque and this constitutes a violation of the Waqf ’s custodianship and its obligation as an occupying power to maintain public order and civil life in the occupied territory.

All international media representatives are advised to adhere to international law and correct any other existing terminology used. The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is not a disputed territory and all other terms, therefore, are null and void.
Subsequent to this demand that no one use any term for the place that the alleged Jewish Temples stood other than the official PLO nomenclature, the organization has decided to take legal action against anyone using the offensive term "Temple Mount" that is clearly associated only with storming settler extremist zealots.

First up is Dr. Leonhart who visited the Levant in the 17th century and visited what he scandalously called the"Temple Mount. " Clearly, even though he was a Christian, he was also a Zionist settler supporter and his use of the term is disturbing to all Mohametans worldwide.




A cease and desist order is being prepared right now.

Next on the hit list is Briani Waltoni, who published the Latin work "Biblicus Apparatus" in 1673. He also prints the offensive phrase, apparently quoting that renowned Muslim scholar Maimonides:



Finally, the PLO will be going after 15th century Islamic scholar Shams al-Dîn Muḥammad b. Aḥmad Suyûṭî, who wrote a huge tome about the alleged Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Suyuti wrote these thoroughly despicable and offensive words:

Al Makatil observes, In the land of the Baitu- l-Mukaddas did God call David and Solomon (peace be with both !) unto repentance. In the Baitu-l-Mukaddas God sent his angel to Solomon ; in the Baitu-l-Mukaddas God announced joyful tidings to Zacharias and to John ; in the Baitu-l- Mukaddas the angels showed a descriptive paint ing of the Tower to David ; in the Baitu-l-Mukad das God put all that walked the earth, or flew in the air, under subjection to David ; in the Baitu-l- Mukaddas, the prophets (God's peace and blessing be with them !) offered sacrifice ; upon the Baitu- l-Mukaddas the angels (peace be with them!) descend every night ...

Now we are told by Ibn Almubarak, from Othman, When God commanded David (with whom be peace !) to build this Temple, he said, O Lord, where shall I build it ? Who said, Where thou shalt see the angel with a drawn sword. David then did see the angel in that place. David there fore fixed the corner-stones of its foundation, and raised the walls ; but when the walls were raised, they were pulled down again. David then said, O Lord, thou didst command me to build a house for thee ; and now that I have raised the walls, thou dost pull them down. Then he said, O David, it is because I have not appointed thee my vicegerent among created beings; nor must thou alienate the place from its possessor without a price. As to that building, a man of thy sons shall construct it. Again, it has been said that the meaning of the building being pulled down after it had been raised, was, that the place belonged to the whole community of the children of Israel, every one of whom had a right in it.
It's a wonder that Siyuti wasn't stoned by his fellow Muslims on the spot back then.

But the PLO will try to rectify that.
