Journey to the Holy Land / 7
Visit the esplanade of the Flies is an anthropological, theological and even political
I had been to the Temple Mount, or time, depending on your point of view. I had already grasped the extraordinary evocative power, beauty, aesthetics, acrobatic Arab presence, the unspoken and unspeakable pride of Muslim Palestinians who still occupy the most expensive is the soul of the Jewish religious and ethnic. Not for nothing here began the second intifada, when Ariel Sharon - September 28, 2000 - dared to bring hundreds of Israeli riot police in the mall, saying that finally the Jews resumed their place of worship to more expensive, which belonged only to them and nobody else.
I had already visited the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque, but I was able to photograph the interior. And I never had Muhammad as a guide, a sixty enthusiastic that could be an imam or a mufti, such is the passion and expertise that enables us doth during the long visit, what unusual, citing the Christian Scriptures with accuracy, without the traditional approximation of many Muslims. By Muhammad realize once again that anything is possible with the Arabs (including photograph, also visit the most sacred sites), provided that the report, the report is that the sincerity and respect by building trust and open all doors. This is the key, I am sure, in this Holy Land has not yet been proven. There is suspicion rather than respect, the proliferation of suspicion rather than letting space trust.
marbles exploding light, the blue tiles combine the sky, the golden dome calls for reconciliation in the name of Abraham, is unanimity. Women, men, old people and children are united by prayer and the feeling of liberation that every Muslim to try before God in prayer to the Temple. Yet in their eyes is anything but a feeling of peace, there is frustration and sometimes hatred. God knows. An old man reads the Quran and white on the red carpet of the mosque of al-Aqsa. It comes from Ramallah, but lives now in East Jerusalem, because his son has found a job as a plumber. In his few English words he can say there is a whole people; "Allah gave me birth, God has brought me to the holy city, Allah makes me experience impotence, Allah will take me with him as soon as possible." He looks wet. She hugs me.
