Normalizing the Temple Mount

 As the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and now Bahrain, has decided to normalize relationships with Israel, other Gulf countries could follow suit such as Qatar and perhaps Saudi Arabia.  I came across a remarkable opinion piece by Nave Dromi who argues it is time to “normalize” the Temple Mount.  Based on Isaiah the prophet who called for a house of prayer for all nations, she argued,   

Perhaps it would be prudent to finally realize this prophecy by allowing Jews and Muslims to pray on the Temple Mount in harmony and accord, without one trampling on the rights and liberties of the other.

After discussing some of the current difficulties and history following the Israeli capture of the Temple Mount in 1967, she then finishes saying,

It is time to return Jewish prayer to the Temple Mount.

It is time to normalize the Temple Mount.
