Why was Jerusalem and the holy land so important to both Muslims and Christians?
This is a difficult question to answer, because the reasons for both are so broad! Simply put, however:
Jews - Solomon's Temple was located there with the Ark of the Covenant, as well as substantial Jewish eschatology (doctrine of the end of the world) centering around the area before their ultimate restoration.
Muslims - This is where the Prophet Muhammad ascended into heaven, as well as a necessary location for the Muslim eschatological prophecy of world domination through Jihad.
Christians - Christianity is built off of the B.C. Jewish faith, so there is a lot of similarity between the two in reference to their reverence of the Jerusalem/Holy Land location. In addition to Jewish reason, it is where Jesus Christ, the Messiah, did much of His ministry. Israel, in particular, is important to Christians because it is where almost all of Jesus' ministry and life took place, as well as His ascension from the Mount of Olives.
