Today's media bias: IBTimes calls Temple Mount a "Muslim mosque"

The headline:


The reporter calls the entire Temple Mount a "Muslim Mosque." Muslims actually claim this, but that doesn't make it true. And no Jew is interested in praying inside the Al Aqsa Mosque or the other mosques on the site.

The headline is also wrong in saying that "Israel" wants Jews to pray at the holy site. If Israel wanted it, it would have already happened. A few Knesset members brought up the idea.

Moreover, the article does not say once that the Temple Mount is holy for Jews (let alone Christians,) let alone the holiest site for Jews. It only says that it is holy for Muslims.

Some Israeli lawmakers want to allow Jews to pray at an Islamic holy site in Jerusalem, a contentious proposal that is opposed by Middle Eastern leaders and could stroke tensions between Jews and Muslims in the Israel.
All this adds up to an article that has more bias than facts.

The incompetent reporter doesn't even know that the expression is "stoke tensions," not 'stroke tensions."
