Muslims outraged that Isreali MP visited al Aqsa mosque

Followers of a so called tolerant religion sure do get p.o. when non-muslims visit sites which are considered holy to islam.

Israeli Interior Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch visited the al Aqsa mosque, built upon the ruins of the ancient Jewish Temple Mount, has provoked the anger of muslims. Middle East Online

JERUSALEM - A far-right Israeli minister visited Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Tuesday, fuelling the anger of Muslim authorities who called the visit a provocation.

Police accompanied Interior Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch of the Yisrael Beitenu party as he visited the site, which is also holy to Jews, who call it Temple Mount.

Jerusalem Mufti Mohammad Hussein expressed outrage that the minister set foot in the compound, the third holiest site in Islam.[...]

Hamas, the Islamist rulers of Gaza, accused the minister of "hurting the feelings of millions of Muslims."
I'm always amazed at how easy it is for muslims to have their feelings hurt.
It added that "any aggression on the Al-Aqsa mosque will have unfortunate consequences," calling to mind a controversial visit by then conservative opposition leader and later premier Ariel Sharon in 2000 that sparked the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising.
First play the victim card then issue threats of violence.
