The Arabs, described as mostly youth, engaged in violent clashes with Jerusalem Police, who used non-lethal means to push the rioters into the al-Aqsa Mosque to prevent what would have been a major attack on Jewish worshipers Sunday.
The Arabs holed up overnight inside the al-Aqsa Mosque, where they set up barricades using shoe racks, iron rods, and ropes to prevent the police from entering.
The plan was reportedly to attack Jewish worshipers Sunday as Jews worldwide celebrate the Jewish fast day of Tisha Báv, or the ninth day of the lunar Jewish month of Av. The day marks the anniversary of several major disasters in Jewish history, most notably the destruction of both the First and Second Jewish Temples in Jerusalem.

Sounds like they have a similar "youth" problem, as we do. Big difference, is the Israelis won't tolerate but so much of it, then they shoot the cockroaches dead.
Go Israel. Be rejoicing when I hear of your success in response. Make it memorable.
Blow that mosque to bits.
Use a church or a mosque for a base of attack and its no longer a religious site, its a military target.
Yes, I'm still dreaming.....
