Islam in Israel MUSLIM SETTLERS

J’lem Israel: Mosque being opened in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter, where there’s no Muslims……


 

Islam is supremacist in thought and in deed…

 

“If they start operating the mosque now, it would just be a provocation. There are no Arabs living around here. It would be like if tomorrow we were to open up a synagogue in the middle of the Muslim Quarter.”

 

Why is a mosque being opened in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter?

Residents of Jewish Quarter of Old City of Jerusalem outraged by mosque renovation in area with no Muslim residents. ‘Its a provocation.’

 

Residents of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem have expressed outrage after discovering that work is underway to renovate and reopen an old mosque long out of use in the Jewish Quarter.

 

Locals have called the renovation work a “provocation”, noting that no Muslims live in the vicinity of the old mosque. Some residents have expressed concerns that the renovation work on the mosque, which is located on Chabad Street, may be the beginning of an effort to reopen numerous out-of-use mosques in predominantly Jewish areas.

 

Shoshana Selavan, chairwoman of the Jewish Quarter administration explained the community’s concerns in an interview with Yediot Ahronot.

 

“I’ve lived here in the neighborhood for 31 years. We don’t have any problem with the mosque itself, it’s been here forever. The building itself borders on the entrance to the Jewish Quarter on one side, and an Armenian apartment building on the other.”

 

“If they start operating the mosque now, it would just be a provocation. There are no Arabs living around here. It would be like if tomorrow we were to open up a synagogue in the middle of the Muslim Quarter.”

 

Selavan added that no announcement had been made to the neighborhood of the renovation work.

 

“Yesterday they hooked up the lighting system. No one notified us ahead of time about the renovations. We’ve been living here quietly with the people, not looking for trouble, but the green light which they hooked up this week lights up our homes, and if they start holding the calls to prayer there that would cause a major disruption of our daily lives.”

 

Penina Seidel, the wife of the well-known Jewish outreach organizer Jeff Seidel, has lived in the area for 36 years, and also expressed concerns that the reopening of the mosque could make life difficult in the Jewish Quarter.
