JERUSALAM THE HOLY CITY

Monotheism is One God concept and worship. Judaism , Christianity and Islam claim to be Monotheists. They all have some holy men in common. Such men as Abraham , Isaac and Jacob and many others.
The three religions differ in several ways in their worship and obedience to God of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob. Jews are mainly anti Jesus the Christ , Mohammad and reject Christianity and Islam.
Islam accepts Jesus but rejects Jesus the Christ as God in Triune God of Christianity. Christian practices , priesthood and basic doctrines however oppose Islamic activities and concepts.
The so called Monotheists take Jerusalem as their Holy City. Wars and many have died in that respect. For control of Jerusalem by one or the other.
East Jerusalem is claimed Capital of Future Palestinian State. Palestinians are made of both of Christians and Muslims. But are mostly Islamic.
Israel refuses to accept divided Jerusalem. And has called it Undivided Eternal Capital of Jewish State. Christians see Jerusalem as a Holy Land.
American President Trump few days ago recognized Jerusalem as Capital of Israel contrary to decades of American Position and International understanding. That future state of Jerusalem must be negotiated peacefully by all stakeholders.
Embassies of Nations in Israel are situated in Tel Aviv. Trump has also order State Department to take steps to move American Embassy to Jerusalem.
Trump's decisions have met with total condemnation international. And the Palestinian Authority has called end of Peace Talk for Two State Solution to Israeli and Palestinian conflict.
Trump is said to be satisfying a campaign promise to Jewish Supporters for his presidency. That movement of US Embassy to Jerusalem could not be any time so soon. For design and safety considerations.
The worid needs peace.

  1. Historically Islam considers Jews as enemies. This is rooted in Islamic Wars during Fiight to Medina. Where over hundred Jews were beheaded. For betral and rejection of Koran as holy book by a Jewish Secretary/Scribe to Mohammad , leader of Islam.
