"The Palace of Solomon is a historically important palace and rebuilding it would be a very wonderful thing. It is something that any Jew, a Christian or a Muslim should welcome with enthusiasm. Every Muslim, every believer will want to return to those days, to experience those days again and, albeit partially, to bring the beauty of those days back to life."
Oktar added that the Temple of Solomon "will be rebuilt and all believers will worship there in tranquility." During his meeting with the Sanhedrin Rabbis, Oktar expressed his belief that the Temple could be rebuilt in one year:
"It could be done in a year at most. It could be built to the same perfection and beauty. The Torah says it was built in 13 years, if I remember correctly. It could be rebuilt in a year in its perfect form."
(IsraelNN.com) Jews in the town of Mitzpe Yericho are taking practical steps to prepare for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, by preparing descendents of Cohanim (priests) and Levites for service. At the Mitzpe Yericho school, Temple priest hopefuls learn exactly how to conduct the daily Temple service and offer the required sacrifices.

Will the reconstruction of the Temple finally put an end to the intense and prolonged conflict between rival factions? Will it reverse the volatile atmosphere or the climate of anxiety that permeates the social and political relations of the region? I am hopeful but also sceptical.

Note: J.R.R. Tolkien once said, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." At the present time I'm pre-occupied with other more urgent issues that demand my full attention, and so I'll be off CF for several months. Wishing you well, Mithrandir.
As I recall there is a major problem witjh trying to rebuild the Temple. The Dome of the Rock is right where the Temple goes. 2 objects can not occupy the same space.
No Muslim want to build the Jewish temple, the temple of Solomon already exist for all Muslims, Jews say there religion is only for themselves, Solomon (peace be upon him) invited everyone to his religion even the Arabs of Sheba(Saba)

This is what I was wondering as well.

Bulldozing the Dome of the Rock would certainly not bring about peace and harmony in the region. It's the type of thing that could provoke a world wide conflict. I understand why some of the Jewish people might want to have a reconstituted temple but as a Christian I see nothing compelling me to support such a endeavor.
