The Palestinian Authority's chief Islamic judge, Sheikh Tayseer Rajab Tamimi, said on Wednesday that there was no evidence to back up claims that Jews had ever lived in Jerusalem or that the Temple ever existed.

Tamimi claimed that Israeli archeologists had "admitted" that Jerusalem was never inhabited by Jews.
Tamimi's announcement came in response to statements made earlier this week by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who said that Jerusalem "is not a settlement," and that "the Jews built it 3,000 years ago."
"Netanyahu's claims are baseless and untrue," said Tamimi, the highest religious authority in the PA. "Jerusalem is an Arab and Islamic city and it always has been so."

Comment:
I know this is old but I ran across it again. After hearing some of the BS going on at the UN this week, I am reminded of the common thought patterns of Islamist/Communist/Socialist leaders. One must be impressed on some level with their logic and grasp of history. Are their populations really so ignorant as to believe this line of crap? I’m leaning toward population control. Maybe the Trilateral Commission is on the right track and we are being to critical.
