Jerujsalem is the holy city for Muslims it should be handed over to the Muslims?

No, I believe that it should belong to Israel. It is one of the Muslims holy cities but not the holiest, it is somewhere around their third holiest city, while in Judaism, it is by far the holiest city.Plus the Jews were there 3,000 to 2,000 years before the Muslims. Also, the Israelis are the U.S.A's only true Middle-Eastern ally. If the Muslims controlled Jerusalem, the terrorists would become stronger while Israel would grow weaker. If the Muslims owned Jerusalem the terrorists would have free movement within the city, and since the terrorists want us Americans dead that would be bad.

What were the crusades and what effect did they have?

The Crusades were a series of military campaigns during the time of Medieval Engalnd against the Muslims of the Middle East. In 1076, the Muslims had captured Jerusalem - the most holy of holy places for Christians. Jesus had been born in nearby Bethlehem and Jesus had spent most of his life in Jerusalem. He was crucified on Calvary Hill, also in Jerusalem. There was no more important place on Earth than Jerusalem for a true Christian which is why Christians called Jerusalem the "City of God".However, Jerusalem was also extremely important for the Muslims as Muhammad, the founder of the Muslim faith, had been there and there was great joy in the Muslim world when Jerusalem was captured. A beautiful dome - called the Dome of the Rock - was built on the rock where Muhammad was said to have sat and prayed and it was so holy that no Muslim was allowed to tread on the rock or touch it when visiting the Dome.Therefore the Christian fought to get Jerusalem back while the Muslims fought to keep Jerusalem. These wars were to last nearly 200 years

What is the term to described holy war?

The Holy War was a conflict between the three major world religions, Muslims, Christians, and Jews, over ownership of the Holy city of Jerusalem. It is the Muslim belief that the prophet Muhammed ascended from the Dome of the Rock located within the city. Jews believe that the last original wall, know reffered to as the Wailing Wall, is found in the outskirts of the city. Christians belive that Jerusalem was the city where Jesus, Son of God was born. The Holy War had no true resolution and all three major religions disagree over who it's rightful owner is today. I hope this helps!!
