The prophet Muhammad was taken to the temple mount by an angel, it is a holy site because it is a part of Muhammad's experience. Behind Medina and Mecca. Mecca being number one, obviously.

there are problems betwwen every religon. the main problem between islam and christianity is that christians say jesus is the son of god while muslims say he is one of the mightiest pophets of god so this is themain problem
Uum, no, because due to Arab Israel war, and before, Jews are considered worst enemies of Islam, and West, ei Christians are only considered bad because they are helping Israel.
Furthermore, Jewish women poisoned Muhammad, which initially killed him, so Jews are the bigger enemy.

If you want to follow Middle Eastern Media, you should keep in mind that:
Brian Whitaker (Middle east Editer for The Gaurdian and PhD candidate in Middle Eastern Studies) said "the stories selected by Memri for translation follow a familiar pattern: either they reflect badly on the character of Arabs or they in some way further the political agenda of Israel," that MEMRI's "tweaks, cuts and mistranslations always seem to point in the same political direction."
William Rugh (former US ambassador to the UAE and Yemen) said MEMRI "does not present a balanced or complete picture of the Arab print media. ...Quotes are selected to portray Arabs as preaching hatred against Jews and westerners, praising violence and refusing any peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue."
Ken Livingston (mayor of London) accused MEMRI of "outright distortion" and said MEMRI "tend[s] to portray Islam in a very negative light."
MEMRI also does not extensively cover the Isreali media and was co-founded by a right-wing Zionist.
Now that being said, they do provide A LOT of translation of Middle Eastern media, but keep in mind that Yigal Carmon, the president of MEMRI said "Memri has never claimed to 'represent the view of the Arabic media', but rather to reflect, through our translations, general trends which are widespread and topical."
Just keep that in mind if you choose to extensively use the organization.
Bias? Or do you prefer narrowmindedness? Lack of vision?
"If your life is such that you're placing all your hopes in a politician, then may I humbly suggest you get yourself a crate of superlager and a cardboard box and stop wasting everyone's time''
Just all the crazy rules Islam has, Christianity has, and all the things that people associate with Islam ie terrorism and fundamentalism, are also to do with christianity.

Some Medieval ecclesiastical writers[6] claimed that Muhammad was completely possessed by Satan, and that everything he said and did was Satan's work. Others hold that the incident of the so-called 'Satanic Verses' casts doubt on the reliability of Muhammad's revelations.[70]
Gary Miller compares the claim that Qur'an was revealed by Satan to Muhammad with the story in New Testament in which Jews accused Jesus of being helped by Satan. He claims that this is the "quickest and cheapest excuse available." Pointing to verse 16:98, He claims that a man could write "Before you read my book, ask God to save you from me" but Satan couldn't do this.[24]
Yusuf Ali claims that the accusation that Muhammad was possessed was similar to the accusation levelled at Moses by the Pharaoh. This comes in a comment to a verse in the Qur'an that claims that the same charge was made against all of God's prior messengers (thus discounting its weight):[71]
“ Similarly, no messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!" (51:52)
