More stoning of Christians on Temple Mount

Muslim mobs again hurled stones at Christian tourists and Jewish visitors atop Jerusalem's Temple Mount on Tuesday following a similar attack earlier in the week.

One police officer who was among those escorting the Christian and Jewish groups was injured, and two Muslim assailants were arrested.

Police were already on high alert for clashes atop the Temple Mount after local Muslim websites posted calls to "protect" the mosques occupying the Temple Mount from Jews who allegedly planned to desecrate them by praying there.

A day earlier, police arrested small group of Jews who they believe did indeed intend to commit the heinous crime of praying atop Judaism's holiest site.

Given the history of religious intolerance exhibited in Palestinian television, these atrocities were easily predictable.
