With our guide Hamat Abutash, we were allowed inside the Dome of the Rock and Al Aksa Mosque - a rare honor for non Muslims. From outside and in, they are beautiful holy spaces with a rich history.
Our guide emphasized over and over that it seems all people want to live in peace more than our governments seem to want it to work to make it happen. We believe in the same God. We respect each others traditions. In fact, we share many of the same prophets and sacred places.
Enshallah. God willing. Peace will come.
