Mosque, Amman, Jordan

Buildings come and go, especially in this region. Antiquity lies buried beneath millennia-old piles of debris and dust from sandstone and limestone. What I see today of the mosque and settlement a few centuries from now could most likely lie buried.

Yet for various peoples, these or structures like these inflame passions, pro and con.

Mosques are places of worship for Muslims, who, some Israelis believe, should have no place in modern Israel.
