I'm just trying to figure out how it works. In the past, whenever I heard somebody say "Jews are forbidden from the Temple Mount!" it was always a Jew who said it, and it was always in the same tone of righteous indignation, like the Temple Mount was some kind of restricted country club in upstate New York. So when I saw that Bill Maher had filmed a scene in it for Religulous, I started to wonder, whose law was it keeping Jews out and letting Muslims in? From what I know of Islamic practices, anyone is welcome anywhere, provided you are showing the proper respect, so it didn't make sense that the Muslims would ban Jews, or anyone, from the mosque if they wanted to go.
