Do you support a synagogue on the Temple Mount?

[Valke2]

Synagouge’s did not replace the Temple. Even when it stood, there were many jews who lived to far away to go to the Temple but who still wanted to communicate with God. As someone has already pointed out, the sacrifices took place at the Temple. Synagouges were used for prayer (and yes, there was also prayer at the Temple, but it’s main purpose was in being the place where sacrifices were carried out).

Obviously, after the Temple’s destruction, prayer “repalced” sacrifice. The concept that prayer was of utmost importance was one that was held during, as well as after Temple times.

Can you imagine how the world would change if the Islamic world were to concede this point and allow Israel to rebuild the Temple? That would be huge.

Before they would do that, they would have to acknowledge that Israel has the right to exist. I cannot see it ever happening. Even if some individual Muslims moderates agreed to it, they would be shouted down by the radical Muslims who seem to always come out on top through intimidation.
