    The Dome of the Rock seems to be claimed by all three. Abraham attempted to sacrifice his son there, before he was stopped. Muhammed’s ascent to heaven took place there (figuratively, not literally), and Jesus threw the moneymen out of the temple at that location.

    I always wondered what is so special about that location.

      Islam and Judaism: this place is holy for important religious reasons

      Christianity: this place rocks because Jesus beat up greedy capitalists.

      Just looked it up, Muhammed died in Medina. I kind of assumed he died somewhere in the the vicinity of Jerusalem and that’s why his name is connected with the Dome of the Rock
