Dissident Waqf Official: Jewish Temples Stood Here

WorldNetDaily interviewed an official from the Muslim Waqf who endangers his life by merely admitting that Jewish temples stood on the Temple Mount:

The former leader, who is well known to Al Aqsa scholars and Waqf officials, spoke on condition his name be withheld, claiming an on-the-record interview would endanger his life.

While the Islamic leader’s statements may seem elementary to many in the West, especially in light of overwhelming archaeological evidence documenting the history of the Jewish temples and description of services there in the Torah, his words break with mainstream thinking in much of the Muslim world, which believes the Jewish temples never existed.

The Waqf oversees Islamic holy sites. For background info about the Waqf’s involvement in Palestinian efforts to control the Temple Mount, see here.
