No, the Jews want to destroy Masjid Al-Aqsa so they can build Temple of Solomon, and Masjid Al-Aqsa was muslims first Qibla. So its muslims holy place of worship

SARA

No, Jews/Christians can enter (They should first apply several rules like taking off their shoes, cleaning their legs, hands, face,ears,hair, mouth and for ladies cover full body and hair) the Mosque just to see it but not pray in it.
and i never heard of a Jew or a christian who wants to pray in the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Salam Alikom.

Enter yes pray no

Gam Zo Letovah

Certainly not. The Muslims don't want them to, so they don't.

It seems that the Muslims do not like Jews and do not want them to pray anywhere on the Temple Mount. Not in El Aqsa and not outside of it.

The Temple Mount, the site of the First and Second Temples, is the holiest place in the world for Jews. But because the Muslims do not want Jews praying there, the Israeli government does not permit Jews to pray on the Temple Mount.

If a Jew goes up to the Temple Mount and even moves his lips as though in prayer, he is forced to leave. Jews are not permitted to bring prayer books or any other religious article up to the Temple Mount.

It makes you wonder who won the Six-Day War.

No, only Muslims are allowed to pray at the Al-Aqsa & you have to bring proof with you like a letter from your home Imam (non-forged, you need adequate proof.) In Islam, non-Muslims are not to pray with Muslims, so I assume that's why it's restricted in the Mosque. You can't even go inside.

There is no place up there a Jew could pray at. However, the Orthodox Rabbis in Judaism determined that Jewish folks shouldn't go to such a holy site when it's not currently holy. I don't know if it was decided in part for political expediency, but Orthodox Jews don't go up to visit & stick with the wailing wall.

As a Reform Jew, I went up as a tourist. However, I would never think to pray there - first not to offense Muslims, 2nd not to trigger a security issue or political situation, & 3rd as a Jew instinctively I wouldn't want to pray there in the middle of it being set up for another religion.

Someday, maybe I will be able to pray there too. Right now it's not an option from any angle.

They aren't Palestinain lands. They are Ottoman empire backwater that no one wanted - until it was "defiled" by self-rule of a secular democracy which contains 1.2 Million Arab Muslim citizens.

Temple Mount is the holiest place in Judaism, much holier than in Islam.

No.

In theory, Jews can pray in Mosques and Muslims can pray in Synagogues, because foth faiths are pure monotheism.

But the religions are profoundly different and in addition, Jews are not allowed into the Al Aqsa Mosque.

We should note that even though it's in the Jewish capital of the Jewish state, this Muslim ban on Jews entering is RESPECTED and adhered to.

Mecca and Medina, the two holiest Muslim cities, are also purely off limits to non Muslims.

we, as palestinian muslims do not stop them from praying there, at OUR mosque.
but its funny, real funny how the zionists form blockades and do not let certain people due to age pray at the mosque, which does NOT belong to them.

I don't know why we would. We actually respect their territory, you know?

Golani77

and also the Jewish religion dose not accept to pray at the AL..... mosque

A jew can pray wherever they feel like it. I'm pretty sure most people can.

If they can, they wouldn't be shaking their heads by some wall near Al Aqsa. Second Intifada was waged because Sharon's decided to make a visit to Al Aqsa.

Anyway, they chose another thing rather than praying in Al Aqsa. They are digging beneath it threatening it to collapse at any moment.

Why would a Jewish person want to pray at a mosque when they have synagogues available to pray in? Cheers!

I think they are more interested in the doom more than the Masjid (mosque) since the Masjid has no historical meaning to them, or does it? because it could be.

anyways, I guess jewish are in control over the Palestinians lands in this time and allowed to do whatever they feel like doing. However, history repeats itself.
