It's what's inside that counts...

to build a-mosque on the site are
politically motivated.
"It is not about religion, which is
used as a battle standard by the
Islamic side of the conflict," she said.
This is a sectarian dispute in which
the Muslims fill the middle and lower
classes, and finally felt powerful
enough to take control of the city
from the upper-class Christians."

Political Issue

Kaufman says the mosque is becoming
the main battle standard of the Islamic
Movement all over Israel, and that Arab
Knesset members, who might otherwise
have been sympathetic to the Christian
cause, are being swept away by their
increasingly radicalized electorate.
Abu Ahmad expressed amazement
that international pressure from the
church coalition could overturn the
findings of a ministerial committee,
headed by Internal Security Minister
Shlomo Ben-Ami when Ehud Barak
was Israel's prime minister.
"Both the right-wing government
of" Binyamin Netanyahu "and the
left-wing Barak government agreed to
this, so I ask you, why is our permit
being blocked, why do we have to
appeal before the High Court of
Justice?" Abu Ahmad asked.
For the Coalition of Churches, the
issue has nothing to do with building
mosques. The main issue is that a
group known for its violent practices
and suppression of Christians and
moderate Muslims is given a govern-
mental kosher stamp for stealing
land," Kopp said.
"This an obvious green light for
them to continue bullying and intimi-
dation, and the police do nothing,"
he said. "If we don't stop this Taliban-
like group, it will be encouraged to
continue abusing Christians, who are
a minority within a minority."
Revoking the "kosher stamp" for
the mosque will not be easy.
"If someone threatens to take away
our land, that we cannot accept. We
will launch a 50,000-person general
strike, we will sit in front of the Prime
Minister's Office, we will do every-
thing — everything — in our power
to stop that," Abu Ahmad warned.
Implicit in his words is a threat that
the backlash from ending the mosque
project could be used as a platform
for another riot of Israel's Arab citi-
zens, Mor said.
"Israel is stuck in the middle, with
the Muslims and Christians breathing
down its neck — and the whole
world watching in anger." PI
