So your supporting that any church, mosque, synagogue, etc. should be torn down when the people are gone? What of grave yards? Why not move the bodies when the decedents are not 'local' anymore. Where's the line, if there is one? Point is, there is a recognition in religion that a holy site is a holy site and is not to be desecrated. At least that's the civilized approach to the issue. At the beginning of Islam, there was respect (at least on paper) for the religions of others, especially the Jews and Christians. This changed as Islam grew and they instead appropriated the holy sites of others. This changed again when they instead just left the holy sites of others alone. There are still synagogues in Iraq where Jews were forced out years ago. There are synagogues in Poland where Jews were killed off years ago. There are even synagogues in Spain after we were forced out by the inquisition. The Palestinians orgy of violence is not the sign of civilization. It's not the sign of hate for the state of Israel. It's a sign, shown again and again, of a hate for Jews and Judaism.
