Answer 2

The answer is not as simple as you might think. Consider the following.

One of the most popular lies--which has become universally accepted as if it were an indisputable truth--is the myth about Jerusalem being the third sacred place to Islam. It is quite rare to hear the honest truth, that Jerusalem is the First and Only Holiest place to Judaism!

As a matter of fact, Jerusalem is not mentioned at all in the Qurab, and Muhammad had never been there. (Perhaps he did not even know about the existence of Jerusalem!)

The tale about his dream flight has been related with Jerusalem in a very recent time for political strategy purposes.

The Islamic claim to the Temple Mount is very recent. Jerusalem's role as "The Third Holiest Site in Islam" in mainstream Islamic writings does not precede the 1930s. It was created by the grand mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini.

Most of the problems surrounding Jerusalem can be traced to two areas of dispute: the political area that asks Jerusalem to be the capital of both Israel and the hypothetic Palestine; the other and most contentious problem is the holiness of Temple Mount to both Judaism and Islam.

The role Jerusalem has in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures is well known and not open to debate; however, there are varying opinions on the holiness of Jerusalem, specifically the ,Temple Mount to Islam.

Many if not most opinions that counter Islam's claim point out the Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Quran and did not occupy any special role in Islam until recent political exigencies transformed Jerusalem into Islam's "third holy site". This falsehood was created by the grand mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini.

The mufti knew that nationalist slogans alone would not succeed in uniting the masses against arriving Jewish refugees; he therefore turned the struggle into a religious conflict. He addressed the masses clearly, calling for a holy war. Since the moment when he was appointed to the position of mufti, Haj Amin worked vigorously to raise Jerusalem's status as an Islamic holy center.

Answer 3

Think about it.
Israel... painfully obvious. Also likely to trigger violence among certain ethic majorities in the region and in Europe, Russia, etc.
Azerbaijan... same damn thing for us and Israel but beneficial to Russia with regards to China, which needs land and resources. Also, Putin gets to look good.

Answer 4

Such action might spark another boycott from OPEC or other types of political fallout.

It would be smarter to install such a shield in Saudi Arabia or western Iraq.

Answer 5

Israel already has one. In fact, they have a two-tiered system with both a version of the Patriot and the Arrow systems. Try to keep up.

Answer 6

Good Question. Maybe it has something to do with Location...but yours is a good idea.
