More properly, Jerusalem is considered a Holy City in what is called the Holy Land. Odd to me that in many cases land where much blood has been spilled over is then considered consecrated. In terms of actual religious practice, Jerusalem would be considered holy by Jews, secondly, by Christians, and a city of lesser importance by Muslims, who after all, have Mecca and Medina. Personally, I think no ground is hallowed but the mind makes it so. There was a time when pilgrims coming to North America called it the New Jerusalem. I don't think the natives would have concurred at the time.

it is first a muslim country when christian crusaders came in large numbers lead by a 16 year old king who eventually became a leper.Therefore claiming Jerusalem to be a city where you can "talk to Jesus as it was said that He was crucified at a mountain top in the city.However,under the rule of the leper king,there lives a great Muslim warrior named Sallahudin.He has thousands of armed men all over the Arabian Peninsula.He aims to get back Jerusalem for the muslim but became good friends with the leper king.Therefore,a treaty is signed between the two.JErusalem had a number of Barons taking care of the smaller towns.soon after,the leper king died.A french lord named who became the husband of the late king's sister took the throne.He hates the Saracens(Muslims).using his Powers as king,he and his side-kick,Reynald de Chantillion,went against the treaty agred by the two nations therefore creating a War.the crusaders(christian soldiers) were divided .those under Guy de Lusigngon(the King) were for the War,while the other half,under the control of the late king's right -hand man *** general were following trades of the Late king.soon after,they went for a war..with the Crusades making a huge mistake of going under the hot,scorching sun leaving may helpless n vunerable in the battlefield.Soon,the Saracens got close to Jerusalem with some commoners n some men from Ibelin.they were controlled by Balian.(a bastard of the late Godfried who was the first Baron of Ibelin)Balian was indeed a favourite of the late leper king.He rejected an offer from the King to marry his beautiful sister.so Guy de Lusigngon capitalises on Balian's mistake.thus creeating the war.
So Balian defended the city woth only 300 men with most of them not tained soldiers(compromises of pasteurs,church boys,commoners,mongers)...He gave a good fight against the 300'000 men of Sallahudin which made the Muslim leader respect him.Therefore,Balian and Sallahudin agreed on some terms and leave the city with the remaining Christians to safety n leave the city to Sallahudin.Probably,Messina is the place where Balian brought the Christians to.

Jerusalem will be a Holy land for all religions and all races on the Day of Judgment. Those who believe in the Son of Man will live forever in paradise, in Jerusalem or elsewhere. Those who deny him, such as the Muslims, will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, and will have no rest day or night for 10,000 lifetimes x 10,000 + eternity.

For Christians that's the place Jesus died and rose returned. For the Jews it became the place the Temple became. For the Muslims that's the place Muhammed ascended to heaven. considerable places and activities to each of those non secular structures.

this is what i think, the three religions are the same. i believe it was transcribed differently by the 3 prophets..or two...anyway..its the same except for little difference on the ways how an individual should be.
