Israel: The Temple Mount Issue in a Nutshell

(Jerusalem) Last week, 3 Palestinians entered a so called secure area of the Temple Mount and murdered 2 policemen and injured another. Questions were asked on how they had managed to sneak weapons into an area where everybody is supposed to be searched. A search of the Islamic holy areas found a stockpile of weapons, including knives, slingshots, cudgels, spikes, inciting material, unexploded munitions, stun grenades, and binoculars. So the decision was made to deploy metal detectors. The thing is, they are already in place for non-Muslims wishing to enter the Temple Mount via the Mughrabi Bridge. Yet to the Islamic world, this security measure is wrong. The Mufti of Jerusalem has issued a new religious edict for Muslim:
"Any Muslim who goes to the Temple Mount to pray at the Mosques, and enters via the Zionist metal detectors, their prayers will be “invalid” and not be received by Allah."
And with that statement, the hatred commenced, because of that edict Muslims have refused to enter the Temple Mount mosque and instead prayed (like they do when playing the victim card across the world) on the street in their thousands. This has inflamed Islamic passions and the result yesterday was 6 people killed. Yet what I cannot understand is, if passing through metal detectors is haram to Muslims, then why do they not complain about having to pass through metal detectors at airports, government buildings or even... Mecca. Yes, since 2011, Muslims on their religious pilgrimage to Mecca pass through metal detectors. No problem there, yet when the Jews do so, why it's a bloody hate crime and Allah is going to be angry with you if you do. That, people, is why Islam isn't a religion of peace.
