-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! TROUBLE IN THE HOLY LAND Temple Mount dig continues Hundreds of Muslims volunteering to excavate sacred site called 'illegal' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com Yisrael Caspi, of the Committee to Save the Temple Mount, told the Knesset Education Committee the “desecration” of the Jewish holy site by Moslem Waqf construction continues. Caspi said hundreds of Islamic Movement volunteers arrived at the site earlier this week to help in the excavations. So far, the new Israeli government has announced no decision about curtailing and restricting the operation, which, Caspi said, is being carried out based on illegal permits granted by ex-Prime Minister Ehud Barak. "We are willing to give the new government a chance, but a freeze must be imposed immediately," Caspi said. "The Temple Mount gates must be closed, preventing the entry of special rock-cutting equipment that was brought in this week, and the works must be stopped." Caspi said police reports denying the extent of the works are untrue: "The police don't want to look, while we have clear evidence and aerial photographs showing the extensive damage that has been done." Education Minister Limor Livnat said, "The previous government enabled this desecration to take place, and it is now up to the present government to find the way to stop this -- but not with wild actions." In May of last year, the first reports surfaced of widespread digging by the Muslim Waqf, which controls the Temple Mount. Huge piles of debris removed by heavy equipment are still in evidence to the east and in the Kidron dumps. The Israel Archeological Association reports this rubble includes a large stone fragment that was part of the gate jamb in the Triple Gate at the southern wall dated to the Second Temple era. By June, paving construction had begun on the northeastern section of the Temple Mount, prompting the formation of the Committee for the Prevention of the Destruction of Antiquities on the Temple Mount. The group petitioned Barak to stop the destruction. Some 80 members of the Knesset signed the petition. The excavation continued, with trucks and tractors continuing to enter and exit the site. An amateur video reveals a large Muslim construction project is under way -- one employing huge masonry stones -- right on the remains of the Jewish Temple. The center of activity appears to be an area north of Solomon's Stables. Ornamental skylights of metal and glass are installed in the floor over the area where an underground mosque has been established in Solomon's Stables. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
