Look at all the blood that has been shed because of the idolatrous worship of a particular piece of land that is called " Sacred" because one of a religions revered religious teachers or prophets walked there many years ago in the long distant past.
Since God is Omnipresent, what place or part is not sacred? To say any piece or part of the Earth is more sacred than any other piece or part is idolatry.
How much blood will be shed someday over the Temple Mount and the Third Temple of the Jews, which will mark the Second Coming of Christ, which is to be built on the same spot on the Temple Mount where the Islamic al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock are situated?
Have you ever heard of the Crusades?
Remember the Crusades during the period of 1095 until well towards the end of the seventeenth century - all blessed by the Church of Rome? Killing in the name of God for "Special" Land where their "Messiah" walked, talked, died and was resurrected.
What about the "Crusades " of the Muslims? Islam is expansionist and must conquer the whole world to express Allah’s perfect will on this planet.
The first "Christian Crusade" began in 1095…
460 years after the first Christian city was overrun by Muslim armies
457 years after Jerusalem was conquered by Muslim armies
453 years after Egypt was taken by Muslim armies
443 after Muslims first plundered Italy
427 years after Muslim armies first laid siege to the Christian capital of Constantinople
380 years after Spain was conquered by Muslim armies
363 years after France was first attacked by Muslim armies
249 years after Rome itself was sacked by a Muslim army,
and only after centuries of church burnings, killings,
enslavement and forced conversions of Christians.
By the time the Crusades finally began, Muslim armies had conquered two-thirds of the Christian world. Killing in the name of God to make all the land of the Earth sacred under the rule of Allah.
Non-Muslims today cannot enter Mecca because they are spiritually unclean and would defile the Sacred Land. During the five prayers daily, all Muslims face Mecca. If in Mecca, all praying Muslims face the Ka'aba or "House of God".
God is not to be found in one building and not another. The Universe is the "House of the Omnipresent God".
The Israelis, under the command of Moses and then his successor, Joshua, conquered and destroyed entire cities on their way to the Promised Land - killing every man, woman and child and taking all their possessions for their own. All in the name of a sprcial "place" called the "Promised Land" given to them by their God.
The Jews, the Christians and the Moslems have lost many children to the idolatry of the "Holy Land".
Since God is Omnipresent, what part of any land is not Holy?
Since God is Omnipresent, there is no place and no image that is more Holy than any other place or image. To say any place is more holy than some other place is to say the Omnipresent God is either not at the less than holy place or only a little bit there.
Oh, the blood that has been shed from the Idolatry of “Holy Place”.
