The Rock that the Dome covers is reputed to be the stone altar upon which Abraham/Ibrahim prepared to sacrifice his son Ishmael. It is also assumed to be the place from which Muhammed ascended on his midnight tour of heaven. That is why Jerusalem is regarded as the third holiest city in Islam.

The Dome of the Rock is so named because it was the site where the Disciple Peter was executed. Peter was called The Rock by God on whom He would build His church.

The one in Jerusalem, that everyone seems to be fighting over.
A picture is on the link below. It's a beautiful scene, but I'm not sure it's really worth so much anger.
