[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Well, Madinah does more to capture the sound then Medina, but so what? Jerusalem is most certainly holy to Muslims, for essentially the same reasons it is holy to Christians and Jews. If western monotheism was a blockbuster film trilogy, we'd have Judaism, Judaism II: The Messiah Project, and Judaism III: Return of Abraham. Christians, at least mainstream Christians, believe everything the Jews believed* except the parts about there not being a messiah yet. Muslims believe everything Jews and Christians believed* except for Jesus being God. So of course Jerusalem is holy to Muslims. God lived there for a time, after all, in a manner of speaking. *: When I say believed, I mean to draw a line between Judaism and Christianity and Islam as they existed then and as they exist now. After two thousand years of separation, the three religions have far less in common now than they did then. [/QB][/QUOTE]
