  Muslims and Jews may Rebuild the Temple Together!?

  What? Muslim leader wants Temple rebuilt
  
  Jewish Sanhedrin rabbis unite with Turk on common cause
  
  
  
  “In a column penned in WND today, author Joel Richardson reveals the historically unprecedented development…..
   
  
  Adnan Oktar, who uses the pen name of Harun Yahya, is a controversial
  but highly influential Muslim intellectual and author with more than 65
  million of his books in circulation worldwide. Oktar recently met
  with three representatives from the re-established Jewish Sanhedrin, a
  group of 71 Orthodox rabbis and scholars from Israel, to discuss how
  religious Muslims, Jews and Christians can work together on the project.
  
  
  “The objectives of the alliance include waging a joint intellectual and
  spiritual battle against the worldwide growing tide of irreligiousness,
  unbelief and immorality,” explains Richardson, who met in Turkey with
  Oktar. “But even more unusual is their agreement with regard to the
  need to rebuild the Jewish Temple, a structure that Mr. Oktar refers to
  as the ‘Masjid (Mosque)’ or the ‘Palace of Solomon.’”
  
  
  An official statement about the meeting has been published on the
  Sanhedrin’s website. Concluding the statement is the following call:
  
  
     

  “Out of a sense of collective responsibility for world peace and
  for all humanity we have found it timely to call to the World and
  exclaim that there is a way out for all peoples. It is etched in a call
  to all humanity: We are all the sons of one father, the descendants of
  Adam, and all humanity is but a single family. Peace among Nations will
  be achieved through building the House of G-d, where all peoples will
  serve as foreseen by King Solomon in his prayers at the dedication of
  the First Holy Temple. Come let us love and respect one another, and
  love and honor and hold our heavenly Father in awe. Let us establish a
  house of prayer in His name in order to worship and serve Him together,
  for the sake of His great compassion. He surely does not want the blood
  of His creations spilled, but prefers love and peace among all mankind.
  We pray to the Almighty Creator, that you harken to our Call. Together
  – each according to his or her ability – we shall work towards the
  building of the House of Prayer for All Nations on the Temple Mount in
  peace and mutual understanding.”

  Below is the Sanhedrin’s website and the confirmation of their
  initiatives which besides assisting with rebuilding the Temple they
  also want to start the Passover sacrifices again. (Make sure to scroll
  down and check out the “Turkish Islamic Union” also, VERY interesting!)

  Joel Richardson and Adnan Oktar meet together in Istanbul
   July 21, 2009

  “Oktar added that the Temple of Solomon “will be rebuilt and all
  believers will worship there in tranquility.” During his meeting with
  the Sanhedrin Rabbis, Oktar expressed his belief that the Temple could
  be rebuilt in one year:
  
  
  “It could be done in a year at most. It could be built to the same
  perfection and beauty. The Torah says it was built in 13 years, if I
  remember correctly. It could be rebuilt in a year in its perfect form.”
  
  
  “This should be fairly simple,” explained Rabbi Hollander. “It is
  said that the structure of the Dome in Haram E-Sharrif (the Temple
  Mount) was originally meant by (Caliph) Omar to be a House of Prayer
  for Jews, and the Al-Aqsa for Muslims.”
  
  
  Richardson sees such plans tying in to Barack Obama’s calls for internationalizing the city of Jerusalem.”
  

  Here is one of Adnan Oktar’s web sites:

  Obama makes plans for Middle East peace conference this year
  
  DEBKAfile’s political sources report that Israeli defense minister Ehud
  Barak’s prediction Tuesday, Aug. 4, that the US is preparing to present
  a “Middle East peace plan” within weeks, which Israel should accept,
  was misleading. According to our Washington sources, the Obama White
  House is not thinking in terms of a new Middle East peace plan but a multinational conference to take place in November this year.”
