Muslim Author Calls For the Temple To Be Rebuilt





A delegation of the Jewish Sanhedrin, the rabbinical court which was re-established in 2005 for the first time in fourteen hundred years, have met with a prominent Muslim author to discuss the prospects of peace in the Middle East. Adnan Oktar, a Turkish author who has written books on creation and morality, and campaigns against atheism and materialism, invited the Sanhedrin to visit him to discuss how their shared vision could herald a new age of peace and prosperity in the world. Oktar touched on the common beliefs held by both Jews and Muslims, while the Sanhedrin emphasized the shared heritage of all mankind, and how unity between religions might be found in their adherence to the seven Noahide laws. Both parties published statements at the conclusion of the meeting. Oktar spoke about the need for a global Islamic union based on the Turkish democratic model, which would foster religious tolerance, and the Sanhedrin called for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, which they claim will help to bring about an era of world peace. Oktar was later interviewed by Christian writer, Joel Richardson, who is the author of a controversial new book which claims that the fourth beast of Daniel is really the Ottoman empire and that the Antichrist spoken of in the book of Revelation will be a Muslim leader. During that interview Oktar remarked that many Jews, Muslims and Christians would be in favour of the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple, and he reckoned it could be accomplished within a very small timescale, possibly within a year at the most.

These talks have been going on since 2008. The main common ground is that the site for the temple is to the East of the Dome of The Rock, and will not cause a Muslim uprising. Grant Jeffery, and others at the Temple Institute have conferred that the true site of the Holy of Holies is this site. I agree with this because the history talks about how you could look through the Eastern Gate straight into the Holy of Holies. This sight is the only place on the temple mount where you can do it.

Oktar is a very popular person in the Muslim world and carries a great deal influence with them. This could just be the peaceful means by which the temple can be rebuild.
