		Destruction of the Masjid al-Aqsa since its occupation in1967 by the Israelis has been the desire of a few Jewish extremists groups but in recent years it appears they seem to not only have the public support but the quite nod of the Israeli government as recent event shows.
		As 6 June approached, the day Israeli occupied Masjid al-Aqsa in 1967, which according to International Law and UN is illegal, the Israeli extremist groups were celebrating by calling upon Jews to storm the Masjid al-Aqsa, in order to perform their rituals in it.
		The international community and in particular the Muslims for whom Masjid al-Aqsa forms one of the greatest symbol of Islam need to be vigil against the Israeli Occupying forces indifference to the Jewish extremist threats to destroy the Masjid al-Aqsa.

		Al-Quds (Jerusalem), the town where al-Aqsa masjid was built, has been half eaten by the Jews when they annexed its Western part after the 1948 war.

	Rebuttals to Islamic Awareness
		An excellent example of the usage of the word "masjid" referring to a non-Islamic sanctuary can be seen in the verse 17:7 that describes briefly the destruction of the mosque in Jerusalem (i.e., the Temple) by the enemies of Children of Israel.
		Nevertheless, the primary meaning of masjid is "place of prostration" and after the advent of Islam the word masjid does not necessarily designate a building but only a location.
		To say that the primary meaning of masjid is a place of prostration does not rule out that masjid can and does often mean a building in which the act of prostration takes place.

		its very unfortunate that most people think the dome of the rock is masjid al aqsa, their plan is working.
