It wasn't until after 1948 or 1967 that some Muslims decided that that "furthest place" would be the Temple Mount.Are you stupid?Not even close.No. They called it the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Same place. Different name.
Pure propaganda.
In fact, Mohammed told his followers to look away from it in order to scorn the Jews who rejected him.
As I suggested, do more research than just reading a sound bite on a web page.
He told them to face Mecca when they pray. Do you think that means there are no other Muslim holy places in the world?
One of the standards for a religion's holy place is to name it in your Scripture.
Jerusalem was a city of scorn for Mohammed, not adoration.
"Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from Al-Masjidil-Haram (Arabic: الـمَـسـجـدِ الـحَـرام, "The Place-of-Prostration The Sacred") to Al-Masjidil-Aqsa (Arabic: الـمَـسـجـدِ الأَقـصى, "The Place-of-Prostration The Farthest"), whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing."
— Qur'an, Sura 17 (Al-Is'ra), ayat 1[3]
Again, same place, different name.
Not the same place, different name.
Why does it have to take 1300 years for Muslims to decide that the Temple Mount would be the one mentioned in that Sura?
Credible proof?
