GAH! BLOGGER! Why do you despise me??
Okay. Taking a moment.
Here are my questions (that won't show up in the comment section on the class blog, for some reason):
I'm sorry if this ends up showing up twice; it got deleted the first time!
1. Where does Christianity and its followers fit in in regard to the current situation in Jerusalem? It seems that so much of the centers around the relationships between Jews/Isrealis and Muslims/Palestinians. Yet, there are Christians living in the city and Christians who pilgrimage to Jerusalem because it is a holy site. What is their impact on the current situation?
2. We talk a lot about the misconceptions that are in circulation regarding Islam and its followers - perhaps this is especially true for those of us who study the Middle East in some way. What would you say are some misconceptions of the other religions involved here, and how do those misconceptions play into the conflict in Jerusalem, as well as the global/media response to it?
