Appreciate you not really wanting to blow things up ;)

But the Wailing Wall and Al-Aqsa Mosque? I'm not one for organized religion, but what goes on there is something much more natural and strong than that - it's belief. These are places people believe in, and they are beautiful and amazing for that. Sure, for everything people care for there will be the people that will take advantage of that, but destroying those focal points is not the answer, in my opinion. I can't testify for Al-Aqsa Mosque, but the air around the Wailing Wall is practically electrified with all those years of people praying and believing and finding their strength in it. There's nothing wrong with people looking for something great, something inspirational. The only wrong is when people take advantage of that and lead it in the direction of hunting down other people.
