What is Jerusalem? What is Jerusalem
?
Your holy places lie over the Jewish temper that the Romans pulled down.
The Muslim places of worship lie over yours
.
Which is more holy
?
The Wall?
Wailing Wall? (Judaism holy site)
The Mosque?
Mosque? (Muslim Holy Land)
The Sepulcher?
Holy Sepulchre? (Christian Holy Land)
Who has claim?
Who has the right?
No one has claim! No one has the
right!
All have claim!
Everyone has the right!


The most wonderful lines before the decisive battle of Jerusalem's defense in the movie "Kingdom of Heaven". "The Crusades" has been launched 8 times in 200 years. The magnificent history cannot be described in a single movie. The estrangement and conflict between religions have always continued, just like the ending subtitle of the film "Nearly a thousand years have passed, the peace of the Kingdom of Heaven has always been erratic" Because of religion? Or maybe not...

When the city of Jerusalem was broken at the end of the movie, the dialogue between the male protagonist and Saladin believes that everyone who has seen it will be deeply impressed:
What is Jerusalem worth? What is Jerusalem worth
?
Nothing. ...Everything!
worthless. ... of great value!
