That doesn't sound like a riddle Meister. It just sounds like you are confused, and throwing in a few random insults and factoids to make yourself feel better.
Awww... a classic teenage pout.
Reread some of the dozens of your own posts for 'throwing in a few random insults and factoids to make yourself feel better'...
You know nothing about religions or their shared histories... You pull all your 'factoids' out of your arse and then spend your time over multiple pages trying to square the circles you've made for yourself.
They are all the same question Meister, maybe worded slightly differently in an attempt to overcome all the creative ways you seem to find to get yourself all confused.
Can you find a single reference that identifies the site in Jerusalem as the al-Aqsa Mosque from either Muhammad himself, from someone else before Muhammad died, or from before a later leader decided to build a mosque there and claim the link?
At the time of Islam's founding, how exactly did Muslims consider the site to be one of the holiest in Islam if, despite knowing about the existence of the city, they never talked about it being a holy site, nor visited there?
Do you have no evidence to support this claim:
Quote:The site of the al-Aqsa Mosque has been considered one of the holiest sites of Islam since Islam's founding.
other than your assertion that it "corresponds" to Mecca?
Why is this topic so important to you that you would make something like that up?
