This information comes from Dhimmi Watch....... Jews and Christians are forbidden to pray at the Temple Mount. Judaism considers it the holiest place on earth. Muslims say it's the third holiest. Christianity reveres the spot as being of great historic importance. But if someone prays there, if he or she is not Muslim, the worshiper will be immediately arrested. Welcome to the Temple Mount.
the Temple Mount is the large area directly behind the Western Wall in Jerusalem. It is the site of Judaism's first and second Temples, the primary area of workshop for the Jewish Faith and the location in which God's "shekhina," or presence, is thought by Jews to reside. The area is about the size of 15 football stadiums.....
Although is not mentioned by name in the Quran, the Temple Mount is also commonly identified by Muslims as the "furthermost sanctuary," the site from which the Prophet Muhammad, accompanied by the angel Gabriel, made the Night Journey to the Throne of God.
In addition, Christianity considers the area historically important. The book of Luke recordds that Jesus, raised a devout Jew, was dedicated in the Second Temple in accordance with the Laws of Moses, and describes Jesus' boyhood visit to the Temple, which, it iw written in John, he cleansed at Passover and during the last week of his life. Jesus once referred to the Temple as His "Father's house."
During "open" days, Jew and Christian are allowed to ascend the Temple Mount, usually through organized tours and only if they conform first to a strict set of guidelines, which includes demands that they not pray or bring any "holy objects" to the site. Visitors are banned from entering any of the mosques without direct Wafq permission. Rules are enforced by Wafq agents, who watch tours closely and alert nearby Israeli police to any breakinf o their guidelines.
