Why is temple mount important?

The Temple Mount is the perported location that Abraham offered his son Isaac (the same mount). Granted, he did not actually kill him, but a ram was discovered stuck in a bush nearby and was made a substitute for Isaac. Abraham is a key figure in the Jewish/Christian/Islamic faiths. This Mount area later became the same spot that King Solomon built the Temple and placed the Ark of the Covenant in. During the time of the Christian's Messiah a new Temple had been erected : where that very Messiah was known to have visited. That Temple was destroyed by Rome, and later the Muslims took over the area and Built the dome of the Mosque...after which in 1948 the Jew's became a nation and had to share their given land/city with this objectionable Islamic Mosque. Some Christians believe that the Temple will be restored and sacrifices resumed (by Jewish priests)- a hard task indeed to have materialize!

Most historians agree that Jerusalem was founded approximately 3000 to 3100 years ago (1300 BCE) by Cannanites and Amorites and named for one of their gods Salem or Shalem. Abraham, it is said, visited this city during this time. Jerusalem was said to have been first fortified 1000 years later by another group of Cannanites, the Jebusites. Calling the Walled part of the city the City of Zion. The walls that are seen today were the walls built by Herod toward the end of the last millineum BCE.
