April 07, 2005AP CaptionsBoker Tov, Boulder points out some problems with an AP Caption: The golden shrine of the Dome of the Rock mosque, located in the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, also known to Jews as Temple Mount is seen inside the walled Old City in Jerusalem, Wednesday April 6, 2005 This transition has taken place quite recently, since the start of the current terrorist wave in 2000. Up until then, the site was called the Temple Mount, usually with something like "holy to both Jews and Muslims" added on. Since the PLO, er, PA let it be known that they would call it "Haram al-Sharaf", that was usually added to the end. Now, the AP has revered the order of priority. Soon, they'll stop using the term "Temple Mount" altogether, and people will start wondering what's so special about the "Western Wall." Until they go back to calling it the "Wailing Wall."
