When Jordan had control of Jerusalem it destroyed much of the Jewish quarter, and levelled many synagogues. When the Jews retook it in 67, they not only left the Muslim holy places alone, and the muslim quarter alone, they eventually gave the muslims control of the temple mount.
The muslims many times throughout the centuries have destroyed churches all over the Holy Lands - the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for example is a much newer version of it old self because of Muslim destruction. The muslims turned the upper room into an islamic shrine. They destroyed nearly every church in the lands when they had control of Palestine.
What do the Israelis do? They allow access for all peoples to all Holy sites. I have spent a great amount of time there over the last 2 years, I have yet to be hassled or have problems in Israel. I had great problems and great hassles in Jordan, for just one example.
As to the point of the original post, Jerusalem should absolutely be in Israeli hands.
