Which religion, Judaism or Islam, will show itself
magnanimous in deconsecrating the contested holy site in Jerusalem where the Dome
of the Rock is located. Perhaps Islam should take this step being the younger
religion; since deconsecration may not be an option for Judaism? Perhaps it is
not an option for Islam either but consider the alternative: the suffering that
will result when this unstable fault shifts. Can these religions show us what
it means to be truly holy? Or, is prophecy to be fulfilled: the temple will be
rebuilt and signal most clearly the beginning of the end of the world?
