Vatican: Jerusalem needs "internationally guaranteed special status"

[Michie]

A Vatican diplomat has told the UN Security Council the historical status quo of holy sites in the Holy Land is a "matter of profound sensitivities," and reminded them that Jerusalem is sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Israel sparked a crisis by unilaterally installing metal detectors at the Temple Mount, leading to Muslims accusing the Jewish state of trying to expand control at the site under the guise of security.

I always thought the two state solution with Jerusalem being independent was the only viable solution. Rome would be the single best authority for understanding how that works in practical terms because to my knowledge, they are the only ones to have ever actually done it.

When Muslims stop slaughtering people they don't like for religious reasons, maybe the security won't be as high. But Islam isn't known for taking responsibility.

We all need to learn how to play nicely with one another.

Just keep 'diplomatic immunity' out of the equation. Diplomatic immunity is destroying our Vatican. All the criminals of the world want to be Catholic Curia because no one can touch them, and their, organized crime, criminal activities. As long as the UN security has the authority to arrest and bring to justice anyone, no matter who they are, then this would be good in Jerusalem.

All? The culprit is one and has never changed in 1400 years.

Christians were and are just as bad as others from different faiths. I will always believe that Christianity is the true faith, but I'm not about to condemn a Muslim or a Jewish believer. Let them worship God as they see fit - I pray they find Jesus on their journey.

Were just as bad? How? Crusades? i.e. response to the Islamic invasion?

Are just as bad? I know, refusing to bake that wedding cake is on par with bombings, shootings, beheadings, slavery, all around destruction of the Middle East.

Yep. Refusing to bake a cake makes you just as bad as ISIS even though they would probably take those same people to the highest building and throw them off the top, but still, just as bad. When you refuse to put the cake in the oven, you are basically putting the people in the oven and that makes you a Nazi.

People slay me. I think it will take ISIS invading their homes to make them stop the "hurrrdurr but Christians" stuff, but even then half of them would probably serve the jihadists tea while in chains and saying "Christians are bad too." Head, sand, meet.
