Jerusalem, Moslem Orphanage Press for Supreme Moslem Council, 1924:
The Supreme Muslim Council (headed by Haj Amin al-Husseini) here officially denotes the historic Jewish connection to the Temple Mount. This guide to the structures that comprise the al-Haram al-Sharif is overwhelmingly written from a Moslem perspective, nonetheless, it declares (p.4): “The site is one of the oldest in the world. Its sanctity dates from the earliest times. Its identity with the site of Solomon’s Temple is beyond dispute.” See http://www.wiesenthal.com/site/apps/nlnet/content.aspx? c=lsKWLbPJLnF&b=8776547&ct=14926783.
