This description by al-Waqidi which is supported by a chain of authorities (isnad), was not "convenient" for the Islamic propaganda of the 7th century. In order to establish a basis for the awareness of the "holiness" of Jerusalem in Islam, the Caliphs of the Ummayad dynasty invented many "traditions" upholding the value of Jerusalem (known as "fadha'il bayt al-Maqdis"), which would justify pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the faithful Muslims. Thus was al-Masjid al-Aqsa "transported" to Jerusalem. It should be noted that Saladin also adopted the myth of al-Aqsa and those "traditions" in order to recruit and inflame the Muslim warriors against the Crusaders in the 12th century.
Another aim of the Islamization of Jerusalem was to undermine the legitimacy of the older religions, Judaism and Christianity, which consider Jerusalem to be a holy city. Islam is presented as the only legitimate religion, destined to replace the other two, because Jews and Christians had "changed and distorted" [sic] ("ghyyarou wa-baddalou") the Word of God, each in their turn. On the alleged "forgeries" [sic] of the Holy Scriptures, made by Jews and Christians, see the third chapter of: M. J. Kister, "haddithu 'an bani isra'il wa-la haraja", IOS 2 (1972), pp. 215-239. Kister quotes dozens of Islamic sources).
Though Judaism and Christianity can exist side by side in Jerusalem, Islam regards both of them as betrayals of Allah and his teachings, and has always done, and will continue to do, all in its power to expel both of them from this city. It is interesting to note that this expulsion is retroactive: The Islamic broadcasters of the Palestinian radio stations consistently make it a point to claim that the Jews never had a temple on the Temple Mount and certainly not two temples. (Where, then, according to them, did Jesus preach?)
In 1925, the Jerusalem-based Supreme Muslim Council, [http://www.memri.org.il/cgi-webaxy/item?5618#_edn1] which was headed by Grand Mufti Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, published a 16-page informational booklet about the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound titled A Brief Guide to Al-Haram Al-Sharif. The booklet establishes that the site is holy to Jews and that the ancient Jewish temples had stood there (contemporary Palestinian figures often reject such claims about the Temple Mount and about its historical and religious significance to Jews – see Appendix I)...
[http://www.memri.org.il/media/sal/tmo%D7%98%D7%98na3.jpg].</blockquote>Yossi Fuchs @YossiFuchs Tweeted ([https://twitter.com/YossiFuchs/status/1530058712379006977 May 27, 2022]):<blockquote>For Arab historians who deny the historic existence of the two temples on the Temple Mount, the ''Memri'' organization revealed a document of the "great" leader and partner of Hitler, Haj Amin al-Husseini, from 1925 stating that the Al-Aqsa Mosque was built on the site of King Solomon's Temple. Islam has no affiliation with the Temple Mount, everything is meant to uproot the Jews from their holy place. [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FTvcSgLXoAAh2sK?format=jpg&name=large]</blockquote></ref>
==Use for Jihad==
After the massacre of the Hebron Jews, al-Husseini disseminated photos of the slaughtered Jewish corpses with the (false) claim that the dead where actaully Arabs killed by Jews!
This type of blood-libel is today frequently used against Israel by the Palestinian Authority together with the Axis of the Islamists and the International Left , and is widely dissmeninated in the media and universities worldwide. As Morse points out: "The preposterous and quite bizzare proposition prsented today is that the State of Israel and it's armed forces are deliberately and knowingly killing innocent Palestinian Arabs. Such propaganda ,serves the same purpose today as it did in the time ofal-Husseini, not to mention mediaeval times, namely as a means of fanning the flames and hatred, and stoking the fires of genocide against the Jews."</blockquote></ref>
====Candidly by a recent Arab leader: on the inciting lie====
Of the Arab-Muslim Sultan of [[Oman]], in February-2019:<ref>Jared Kushner, [https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-713823 What did the sultan of Oman think about Israel, Palestinians? excerpt], ''JPost'', August 5 2022.</ref><blockquote>
Going further than other leaders, he expressed his disappointment that for years the [[Arab]] [[media]] had spread a [[false]] [[narrative]] that [[Israel]] wanted to destroy the mosque. This lie was commonly believed in most Muslim nations, and it needed to be addressed. The sultan clearly sympathized with Abbas, explaining how, for years, Arab leaders had deliberately stoked the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians to deflect attention from their own domestic shortcomings and rally popular support.
He was candid about the fact that, in the past, Arab countries had publicly put pressure on the Palestinians to stand up to Israel and not be traitors. Then, to my surprise, he admitted that these public statements often contrasted with what Arab leaders would say privately, when they were much more willing to admit the benefits that Israel brought to the region.</blockquote>

After Beyadenu revealed that antiquities and Temple Mount stones are being destroyed and thrown away in clear view, they now disclose a new and dangerous phenomenon -- garbage trucks are transporting garbage around the Temple Mount and disposing of it at the site which, according to Jewish tradition, is considered the holiest spot within the Temple Mount, the Ezra- the area in front of the Holy of Holies.
In a video recording taken this morning, a Waqf garbage truck is seen dumping the trash without any interference from law enforcement that should be offering protection of the holy site for the State of Israel.</blockquote></ref>

A Palestinian campaign that is being distributed on the networks is against the Christian tourist, who was photographed in "bare" clothing. Hamas media claimed "Zionist extremism defiled Al-Aqsa Square."
A Palestinian campaign circulating on the networks today (Wednesday) is against a Christian tourist from Spain who went up to the Temple Mount and posed for a photo in "inappropriate" clothing. On the website of the Hamas radio station they wrote: "A Zionist settler published a photo of herself half-naked in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque." The Shihab media outlet close to Hamas published a blurry photo of the tourist and wrote: "Your hacking will not defile the purity of al-Aqsa."
The spokesman for Hamas, Hazem Kassem, responded a short time ago and said that "a Zionist extremist desecrated the blessed Al-Aqsa Square and published revealing pictures of it - something that constitutes an unprecedented provocation of the feelings of the Palestinian people and a continuation of the desecration of the purity of Al-Aqsa, as well as Zionist contempt for the entire official Arab system ".</blockquote></ref> Knowing full well no religious 'Zionist settler' would walk around like that, much less on the Temple Mount.
