PA Chief Justice: Moses was a Prophet of Islam

Muslim clerics and many Arab leaders, who have denied that the First and Second Temples ever existed and that Ishmael and not Isaac (Yitzchak) was offered by Abraham as a sacrifice, have added a new idea: Abraham. Moses and Jesus actually were prophets of Islam.

Sheikh Taysir Tamimi, chief Palestinian Authority (PA) Justice and one of the most influential Muslim leaders in Israel, told Aaron Klein of WorldNetDaily, "Your Torah was falsified. The text as given to the Muslim prophet Moses never mentions Jerusalem. Maybe Jerusalem was mentioned in the rest of the Torah, which was falsified by the Jews." Tamimi added that the Jewish forefathers, Moses and Jesus were "prophets for the Israelites sent by Allah as to usher in Islam."

Concerning the Old City, he stated, "There is no Jewish connection to Israel before the Jews invaded in the 1880's. About these so-called two Temples, they never existed, certainly not at the Haram Al- Sharif [Temple Mount].

"The Western wall is the western wall of the Al Aqsa Mosque. It's where Prophet Muhammad tied his animal which took him from Mecca to Jerusalem to receive the revelations of Allah."
