From the Paper:

"The religious claims of the Jews can be considered to be void if we look at the fact that Jerusalem is also a sacred place for the Muslims. In Six hundred AD, Muslim armies moved in from Arabia and conquered Palestine. Muslim influence and power has remained in the area for a long time and they have allowed the Jews and the Christians to exist peacefully in the country. The Muslims also came to regard Jerusalem as their holy city because Prophet Mohammed was believed to have ascended to heaven from this very place. The sacred mosque of al-Aqsa was built on the place, which is regarded as the site of the Jewish temples. The area later came under the Ottoman Empire and subsequent reorganization after the war with Napoleon saw the return of the Jews to Jerusalem. [Isseroff, 2002]. Hence the religious importance of the place stands on a neutral footing."
