«Wir haben das Selfie zur Erinnerung gemacht, weil wir nicht wissen, ob wir nächsten Ramadan zurückkommen können», sagt Shorouq, eine junge Frau aus der Westbank, die sich zusammen mit ihrer Freundin Shahira fotografiert. Aufgrund der angespannten Stimmung zwischen Israel und Palästina bleibt die Einreise vielen Muslimen verwehrt. Viele der Pilger, die sich fotografieren, halten auch Zettel in der Hand, um zu Hause gebliebenen Verwandten zu zeigen, dass man an sie denkt.

    @Baer
    Oh da irren sie Herr Baer. Die Muslime beteten in ihrer vor Mekka (in Medina) noch nach Jerusalem. Erst später wurde Mekka zum Mittelpunkt des Islam. Die Al Aksa Moschee ist bezüglich der Wichtigkeit die Nr. 3 nach Medina und Mekka.

    • Albert Baer sagt:

      So so.
      Allah ist Jerusalem und der Tempelberg im Koran auf jeden Fall kein Buchstabe wert – im Unterschied zu den jüdischen Schriften. Und die Muslime beten natürlich auch in der Al-Aqsa-Moschee Richtung Mekka. (Macht)Politisch wichtig ist die Moschee (und Jerusalem) natürlich schon… für den (machtpolitischen) Islam – religiös aber nicht.

  • Albert Baer sagt:

    Der Felsendom und Jerusalem ist für den Islam religiös so unwichtig wie Mekka für das Judentum.
