'Mugrabi Bridge closure is religious war' (http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=249104)
Hamas warned Monday that the Israeli closure of the Mugrabi Bridge is tantamount to a “declaration of war” on Muslim holy sites.
...
“Four days after the Six Day War we decided to allow Muslims to remain in control over the Temple Mount, even though this drew the ire of many Jews and was viewed as an abandonment of the holy site to Muslims,” Rivlin said. “The Mugrabi Bridge was built with unanimous consent. At this point in time the bridge is dangerous and there is a need to build a new one.”
...
Most people agree that the bridge is indeed dangerous to use, and that closing it is not a political move.
...
Still, due to the site’s extreme sensitivity, the ramifications of the closure, which is the only entrance for non-Muslims who want to visit the Dome of the Rock, have drawn strong reactions.
Which begs the question, why the fuck do Muslims care if non-Muslims are unable to reach their mosque?
Seriously, these Islamic Extremists will seize on anything -- and I mean anything -- to foment violence against Israel.
