I hope you can view the News video on this article, if not just go to the website please.
One of the questions that is asked in the video is.."why does Israel allow the Muslims to have power over Jewish sacred sites that they have previously desecrated?"
That's a very good question. Why does Israel allow it? Could it be fear? We've all seen what happens when someone draws a cartoon of Mohammed or names a teddy bear after Mohammed, riots, murders, new fatwas against the infidels.
But most of us would not desecrate a religious/holy site of another religion because we have RESPECT for others, even if some of those are our enemies.
Not all Muslims are guilty of desecrating Jewish or Christian sites but the number is increasing of those that would.
This is why we must continue to be alert and share this kind of news that does not get aired on everyday media. Though, if it were a Jew that urinated on a Koran it would be all over the world news.
Our main purpose should be NOT to hate the Muslim, because G-d loves them too, but let us be diligent, and sound the alarm when the alarm needs sounding.
Please share this post, repost it and email it.

Muslims Urinated Next to Torah Scrolls at Cave of Patriarchs
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN. com)
Muslims converged on the Cave of Patriarchs in Hevron Friday for Ramadan prayers, urinated next to Torah scrolls and left behind Hamas flags.
The Cave of the Patriarchs is the tomb of the biblical founders of the Jewish faith, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their wives, Sarah, Rivka, and Leah.
The desecration occurred on one of the 10 days during the year that the holy site is open only to Muslims and is closed to Jews. The same arrangement also is accorded to Jews on 10 holy Jewish days.
Uri Karzen, a Hevron resident, reported that a Kohen, who recites the priestly blessings during the Sabbath morning service, told him he smelled urine next to the Holy Ark containing Torah scrolls. Karzen and other worshippers moved the table, where the Torah scrolls are placed during the reciting of the portion of the week, in order to avoid the foul smell.
The Hamas flags were discovered in the windows that mark the burial sites of Abraham and Isaac and the matriarchs, Sarah, Rivka and Leah.
Hevron resident Asher Horowitz explained that he and others spotted the flags when they were returning holy books, which had been taken into safe storage before the prohibition from Jews entering the Cave of the Patriarchs went into effect. He used a stick to pull one of the flags from the marker of the burial site of Avraham and friends told him they found flags at other markers.
Ever since Muslims destroyed Torah scrolls in the Cave of the Patriarchs in the 1980s, Jews always remove holy books and lock the Holy Ark when they are prohibited from entering.
Noam Arnon, spokesman for the Jewish community in Hevron, said there is always some sort of damage discovered upon their return every time Jews are prohibited from entering the holy site.
"It is not all the Muslims," he said. "But there always are a few who in the past have ripped mezuzot off the entrances to the rooms of worship or simply leave behind vandalism. Complaints have been filed with the police in the past, but no one ever has been arrested.
"
He added that two policemen are always on guard when Jews pray, especially when Arabs are prohibited from entering, but there are no policemen present when Jews are excluded.
Surveillance cameras are mounted, but Karzen said the place where urine was smelled may have been out of range of the cameras. The cameras should have caught on film the placement of Hamas flags, according to Horowitz.
Hevron police said they know nothing about the incidents and that an official complaint may not have been filed yet out of respect for the Sabbath.
