All faiths should be allowed on to the Temple Mount, and if they want to pray, if it truly is all the same god. The muslims might want to protect the Al Aqsa mosque from damage by fixing the wall underneath it before a large quake causes it all to fall down. It should be safe for all visitors to enter and appreciate; the faith, the culture, the people, the fact that there is more similarity than difference between people if they give peace a chance to accept the fact.
1) why should all faiths be allowed on the temple mount?
2) if that were the goal, perhaps they shouldn't have tossed a mosque on top of the holy of holies.
Dome of the Rock was a sight of pilgrimage for jews, christians and muslims. Al Aqsa was built in the corner of the mount for the muslims. During the time of both Saladin and Suleiman, jews were allowed to visit the mount and pray. Rambam and other wrote about their visits and how moving it was for them to pray on the mount.
The mount is the navel of god, the presumed sight of Abraham's offering of his son. The sight of Solomon's and Herod's temples. The house of the Arc, god's house and the holy words of the commandments.
True or not, from Zoroaster to Buddha, there are claims of family lines to Abraham and his other six children and therefore to the same god.
