"show the way" is nothing but dishonest bullshit. It's Muslims that keep everyone else from praying, it's Muslims in Saudi Arabia that will ARREST you for merely having a bible. I don't know where you got the idea that Israel doesn't allow praying anywhere anyone likes no matter their religion. It's ONLY Muslims that make those proclamations. Gee, I feel so bad for Israel having to protect their borders from terrorists. I mean, it's not like they don't have good reason to think people want to blow themselves up. But once again, "Mr. Neutrality" wants Israel to make unnecessary laws - unnecessary in Israel as anyone can pray where ever they like - but has nothing to say about the Mount which the Muslims have control over. And what have they done with that control? FORBID everyone but Muslims from praying. But you think Israel is the problem. I do appreciate you finally dropping that ridiculous mask of "neutrality" that wasn't fooling anyone anyway.
