What was the only crusade to recapture Jerusalem?
it was a crusade launched by Pope Urban 2 in 1095. The recapture of Jesuralem was achieved in 1099.
It was the first major event to cause a division between Jews and Christians, or followers of 'The Way'. Christians started to separate themselves from Jews, and became more pro-Roman. This is an explanation for the glowing review of Pilate, and the discrimination of the Jewish priests. Christians allowing non-Jews and belief that Jesus was the Messiah caused further split.
Who destroyed the dome of the rock?
Last time we were there ... within the past year ... it was still there, as impressive
as ever, full of worshipers and dazzling in the sun. If it has been destroyed, that
news will come as a surprise to the thousands of Muslims who visit regularly.
What is the name of Mea Shearim's main synagogue?
There are numerous synagogues in Mea Shearim. There is no "main one" -- as each community goes to its own synagogue.
No. Jerusalem is in the Levant Region. The Levant Region and Mesopotamia together constitute the Fertile Crescent, so while Jerusalem is not in Mesopotamia, it is in the Fertile Crescent.

Is Jerusalem known as the birthplace of religion?
I wouldn't call it the birthplace of religion, but Jerusalem has played an important role in 3 major religions, which are (in chronological order) Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. None of these religions actually were born in Jerusalem.
What religion is the Dome of Rock associated with?
The Dome of the Rock (Arabic: مسجد قبة الصخرة , Masjid Qubbat Al-Sakhrati) in the Eastern part of Al-Quds (Jerusalem). It is a holy place in Islam.
Within it is a stone important in Islam for two reasons:
1) Abraham was ordered by God to sacrifice his son on it
2) Prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven from it per the miracle that God supported prophet Muhammad with and is known as 'Al-Israa and Al-Mi'rag".

The religion of the Dome of the Rock is Islam. It is the area where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ascended in to heaven and also where he was taken to pray with previous prophets. The Dome of the Rock is not to be confused with Masjid-Al-Aqsa as a lot of media portrays it to be. There is much controversy about the reasoning for this that predates thousands of years in history. The Masjid-Al-Aqsa is built on the previous Temple of Solomon. It is believed that the Prophet Soloman (Suleyman) buried several devil-worshiping books that included writing about black magic and states outside the human body. It is believed that the books were a source of power. This is the reason for the confusion. Making people think that the Dome of the Rock is Masjid-Al-Aqsa will shift the media attention away from the real Masjid-Al-Aqsa. The reason for this, is believed to be so they can gain access to the books that the Prophet Solomon (Suleyman) had buried to protect the people from the evil of the writing. Don't believe me about the media turning attention away from the real Masjid-Al-Aqsa? Type 'Masjid-Al-Aqsa' on Google Images and you'll find the majority of pictures are of the Dome of the Rock. There is much evidence that the Israeli government, has started 'construction' around the Mosque which could be a way of disguising the real actions of finding the buried books.
It is Islam religion.
Refer to the related question, below, for more information.

What was the purpose of the Temple in Jerusalem?
According to the Bible, Kind David wanted to build a permanent house for god instead of the Portable Tabernacle. David provided the funds, and his son King Solomon oversaw the building of the 1st Temple
What religions is most popular in Jerusalem?
People enter Jerusalem with many religions, but most people believed in Christ, because Jesus was born from Mary and Joseph and Shepard shared the good news that Jesus was born, so Christianity. I hope that this helped you.
