Court Allows Glick on Temple Mount - without Cell Phone

The Jerusalem Court ruled Tuesday morning that Rabbi Yehuda Glick can ascend the Temple Mount once a month on condition that he does not take a mobile cell phone with him.

Judge Miraim Kasklasi rejected demands from the police that Glick be barred from the Temple Mount because he is a "dangerous man."

Glick, who has recovered from critical bullet wounds from an assassination attempt last year, said last week he would be willing to visit the site in a wheelchair and with his hands tied. His lawyer told the court that if he is so dangerous, the police should not even let him out of his house.

The judge said Tuesday that Glick cannot take his cell phone with him in order not "to aggravate Muslims."

The court apparently does not understand that it is not Glick and not his cell phone that infuriates Muslims on the Temple Mount. Rather, it is Glick's faith.

God does not need a cell phone to hear prayers, which is why the Muslim Waqf prohibits them from being uttered
