The Washington Post is reporting that a rapidly growing movement of Jewish activists are now insisting that they have the right to pray at the sight of their previously destroyed temple on the Temple Mount. This debate is creating a potentially heated and dangerous clash with the Muslim world that bans Jews from worship at that site.
However, every week, myriads of Jews enter this piece of contested property considered Holy the world over. Once there, they conduct a game of cat and mouse or hide and seek, accompanied by police escorts. They walk the area pretending to be using cell phones and instead whisper prayers to Yahweh there. They bow in worship by pretending to drop something and then bending over to pick it up.
