The Dome of the Rock, object of discord between Jews and Muslims

Report on the conflict between Jewish and Muslim communities around the famous dome of the Rock of Jerusalem. This site is indeed the seat of a rock where Abraham would have sacrificed his son Isaac and then on which Solomon would have built the ancient Temple of Jerusalem. Archaeological excavations attempt to uncover evidence of this hypothesis. On the contrary, for Muslims, the prophet Muhammad would have climbed to heaven from that same rock. The commentary on the exterior and interior images of the Dome, of the model reconstructing the temple of Solomon, then Muslims in prayer alternate with the interviews of Sheikh Mohammad HOSSEIN, director of the mosques of Jerusalem, of Chlomo AVINER, director of a rabbinic school, of Menahem MAKOVER, director of the Temple Institute and of two Muslims who came to collect themselves at the dome.
