OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Sheikh Ra'ed Salah, the head of the Islamic Movement in the 1948 occupied lands, said Tuesday that Israeli policemen drink alcohol and commit adultery inside the Aqsa Mosque without respecting the sanctity of the place.

In a press statement, sheikh Salah warned that the IOA intends to establish the largest synagogue in the world extending into the Aqsa Mosque yards and intends to turn Al-Buraq and Al-Marwani mosques, and Islamic cemeteries into synagogues.

The Palestinian leader also underlined that the IOA thwarts any project aimed to renovate and refurbish the Aqsa Mosque, calling for establishing an international Islamic fund to save occupied Jerusalem, its mosques, houses, lands and sanctities.

The Palestinian leader pointed out that a cave-in happened recently in the Aqsa Mosque and resulted in a large crater near the Qaitbay fountain, only 50 meters away from the Dome of Rock.

The Palestinian leader added that as a result of the ongoing Israeli excavations, cracks happened in the buildings and schools which extend along the western wall of the Aqsa Mosque as well as the houses located in the south of the Mosque.

The Palestinian leader had said in previous statements that the fundamental solution to eliminating all risks which are threatening Jerusalem and the Islamic holy places is to end the Israeli occupation completely.

In another related context, Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday strongly criticized former Israeli premier Ehud Olmert during a Likud party meeting for making concessions in the negotiations with the PA, stressing the need for adherence to the Israeli sovereignty over all Jerusalem.

Extremist Jews storm the Aqsa Mosque under army protection

[ 09/10/2008 - 06:46 AM ]




OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Hundreds of extremist Jews have stormed the Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday under the protection of the fully-geared Israeli occupation soldiers in clear undermining to the 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, the Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage revealed.

According to the foundation, the fanatic Jews were divided into groups comprising between 5 and 90 elements, and that they carried out some Jewish rituals inside the Muslim holy shrine under the full and close protection of the Israeli occupation army who ordered Muslim guards of the Mosque not to block or come closer to the Jewish groups.

The foundation urged Palestinian citizens in occupied Jerusalem, the 1948-occupied Palestinian lands, and those dwelling in the West Bank to frequent and stay in the Aqsa Mosque in bid to "thwart the Israeli plans to Judaize it".

The foundation, furthermore, revealed that the desecration visits weren’t limited to ordinary extremist Jews, but rather, it explained, a number of Rabbis and Israeli politicians have joined the Zionist aggressions on the Aqsa Mosque, in addition to giving some explanations on how to build the alleged Thrid Temple [on ruins of the Aqsa].

"It seemed that the Jewish groups had specified the places they intended to visit inside the Mosque as they were seen transferring bare-footed from one place to another inside the Haram Al-Sharief (Honorable Sanctuary) on orders of their rabbis", the foundation asserted in an urgent communiqué it issued on the matter.

Sheikh Mohammed Azzam Al-Tamimi, the director of the Awkaf (endowment) department in Jerusalem, rejected the Zionist defilement of the Aqsa Mosque, and warned of adverse repercussions if those desecration visits continued.

"We categorically reject the Zionist practices of those extremist Jews, as we consider those visits as tantamount to full aggression on the holy Aqsa Mosque, which is not acceptable for us because the Aqsa Mosque is a Muslim Mosque and it is an Islamic right… we had strongly condemned what had happened today", Tamimi asserted in an interview with the foundation.

In a related mater, The Quds committee in the PA ministry of Awkaf in Gaza city strongly deprecated another Israeli police aggression on the Aqsa Mosque, and the drinking of wine and committing of bad acts inside the Mosque's plazas.

In a statement it issued and a copy of which was obtained by the PIC, the committee also condemned the building of tunnel networks and synagogues under the Aqsa Mosque, and the confiscation and demolition of Palestinian homes in the occupied Palestinian city.

"The [Israeli police] aggressions on the Mosque comes in line with the programmed Zionist policy that targets all Muslim holy shrines in Palestine with the aim to distort and Judaize them", the committee added.

The committee also explained that the Israeli hostilities against the Aqsa Mosque had increased recently, warning that such practices were aiming at giving legitimacy and legality to the Israeli Judaizing operations in the city since it fell under the Israeli occupation in 1967.

They do not defile what is holy. They defile their souls.

Hundreds of settlers invade Aqsa Mosque's yards under police protection

[ 16/10/2008 - 10:43 AM ]

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Hundreds of Zionist settlers heavily guarded by Israeli police broke into the yards of the Aqsa Mosque Wednesday evening from the Maghareba gate whose keys had benn stolen by the IOF troops during the six-day war in June 1967.

This assault led the Palestinians guards to hasten to prevent the Zionist extremists from storming the Aqsa Mosque, but the assailants, whose number was estimated at about 500 settlers, were under armed police protection.

Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, the director of Jerusalem endowments, strongly denounced these provocative acts which reach its peak during Jewish festivals, accusing the IOF troops of triggering the situation through deliberately allowing the settlers to enter the Aqsa Mosque under their protection.

Sheikh Khatib warned of provoking the feeling of Muslims and of the implications of such acts, highlighting at the same time that the Aqsa Mosque belongs to Muslims and nobody has the right to share it with them.

He also warned of serious repercussions that will turn the whole region upside down if any harm is inflicted on the Aqsa Mosque and appealed to the Arab and Islamic world to deal seriously with the Zionist dangers threatening the Aqsa Mosque which are aimed to empty Jerusalem from Palestinians.
