November 2009 Jerusalem, Israel



Nancye and Danny Ricketts at the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. This Islamic shrine was completed in 691 A.D. by Abd al-Malik. It was said that “His building spoke to Jews by its location, to Christians by its interior decroration.” It is near the center of the Temple Mount. The dome, 60 feet in diameter, is covered with gold leaf. The blue tiles have been replaced. The original tiles were sent by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in 1545. They were fired at the ancient town of Nicaea in Bythinia, where Constantine convened a church council in the 4th century. I visited that walled city when in was in Turkey in 1962.



This building next to the Dome of the Rock is called the “Dome of the Chain.”

This old man wanted to be friendly, but he knew no English at all.

This is the Moroccan Gate leaving the Temple Mount.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque is opposite the Dome of the Rock. The dome is now covered with lead.

That is some inspirational stuff. Never knew that opinions could be this varied. Thanks for all the enthusiasm to offer such helpful information here.
What I don’t get (other than how we can have such an idiot for a president) is why would the Muslims even want this??? They have to know that it will only breed more anger towards them. The good news is this may be the straw that breaks the camels back to bring the U.S.A. back to a true United Country. I do feel so sorry for the poor souls that lost loved ones in 911, what a total slap in their face. I’m sorry.
Keep up the amazing work!! I love how you wrote this and I also like the colors here on this site. did you create this yourself or did you outsource it to a coder??
