Waqf again says Jewish Temples are fiction, contradicting what they said in 1950

Panet reports that the Al Aqsa Foundation has released yet another statement warning about dastardly Israeli schemes to destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque.

It ended off by saying that "the myth of the alleged temple is only a figment of the imagination, which does not match the reason and religion; we stress that the entire Al-Aqsa Mosque area - including the Western Wall - is an Islamic Mosque and will remain so, and the Jews have no right to one speck of its soil."

This is as good a time as any to show the Waqf's Guide to Al Haram al Sharif of 1950, which is the last edition of that guide to flatly state that Jewish Temples were there before the Al Aqsa Mosque.

You can read it all here, with reference to King David on page 2 and Solomon's Temple as well as the temple during Josephus' time mentioned on page 3.
