the name of
Jesus, on the walls of
this Holy Monument ,
is mentioned and repeated
more than on any other monument
in Jerusalem !!
or even more than
in Notre Dame Cathedral,in Paris.
The First Lesson in Theology :
God is Allah
Jesus is Issa
Messiah is Massieh
Abraham is Ibrahim
Moses is Moossa

The Holy-Ghost is Rouh el kodoss
Elijah is Elias
Peter is Boutros
Michael is Michaeel
Gabriel is Gibra´eel
Marc is Morkos
Evangil is Ingeel
Thora is al Thowrat

This is
not only a lesson in language or in translations
it is about
Islam and Christianity which are
one religion
with different applications and eventualy with variating rules.
At any rate all the mentioned figures are the same actors,
here and there.......
Never believe anyone who tells you that there is
theoretical-nor any natural-animosities.
Today Islam and Christianity are divided by the cultures only
and by geo-politics , occasionaly.
