Of the Ilk of the 'Wiseman'

Those who would burn a Talmud
    Bible or Koran
  are of the ilk of
    the 'wiseman'

  who says 'Religion is fine
    as long as it's mine
  and those who disagree
    are no better than swine

To be honest all I saw was apartheid and injustice.. With many Muslims and Christians not allowed into Jerusalem... how sad people cannot live together in peace.

You saw relative peace. Woe to us if Jerusalem falls into Arab Muslim hands, where all Jews will be banned from the Old City, as was the situation from 1948-1967 when the 'moderate' government of the Kingdom of Jordan had control. But this time will be much worse!

Very well said, Gershon! Enjoy the Labor day. An attraction here in Col Springs is a balloon festival with hundreds of colorful balloons, some of which fly directly over my house.
