The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is not an Islamic shrine. It was built as a church.

The meaning of the “word” muhammad changed over time. Linguistics and historical literature show the word muhammad originally meant “desired.”
Literature and texts show that over time, the word evolved and took on religious meanings. Excerpt from Cheri’s book: “When the word muhammad is mentioned in the Quran, there is no personal information included. There is no mention of family, ancestry, lineage, or deeds. But when the Quran mentions other people, the deeds they’ve done or their lineage or affiliation with people or a tribe is always mentioned. |
“People are mentioned in the Quran in a way that tells of their ancestry or of their affiliation with people or a tribe. Since muhammad is never mentioned in that way, and mentioned so few times, the use of the “word” muhammad in the Quran, as in the early days of the use of the word, is a religious descriptive word, and not the name of a person.
“Although the words 'messenger of God' appear in the Quran, those words never refer to Muhammad. Neither is Muhammad a central figure in the Quran. The central figures in the Quran are Moses and Abraham.
“The "word" muhammad, long before Islam existed, meant God's “chosen one” and God's “praised one.” Luxenberg (2010) establishes an evolving process of the word muhammad, which included intermediate stages of transition. Over time, the word muhammad was used as "praised be."
“Linguistic and other evidence proves that the word muhammad meant “praised be” and was used to describe Jesus: "Praised be" the Servant of God = muhammad-un abd-allah.
“It was not until the 800s that the word muhammad began to depart from its original connection to Jesus. Up until the 800s, the word muhammad was never used as a name for a person and there had been nothing written about a man named Muhammad, nor an Arab prophet. It is during the 800s that Islamic history began to be created, and with it, a prophet.
* According to Muslim sources of their history, Muhammad was born in 570, but the evidence proves this is untrue.
“There are 28 biblical passages in the Old and New Testament which teach there is Only One God. In the Servant Songs, there are four specific instances. The Servant Songs focus on the work of God's servant and describe the servant as God’s “chosen one.” Elsewhere in the Bible, Abraham and Moses are also called God’s servants and the early followers of Jesus connected the servant with Jesus.
“These words, including abd allah, servant of God, were centuries old Judeo-Christian terminology—long before the creation of Islam. [These words] had nothing to do with Islam and were not referring to a man named Muhammad.
The Didache, the teachings of the apostles about Christian practices, also speaks of the “Servant of God,” as does the Martyrdom of Polycarp. TheMartyrdom of Polycarp used the phrase “praised servant" when referring to Jesus.
Long before Islam existed, the word muhammad meant "chosen" and "praised."
Praised servant of God, muhammad-un abd allah-i, had nothing to do with a man or prophet named Muhammad, these words were referring to Jesus.
“[Inscriptions on] coins make it clear that for a long time muhammad was not a name, but a motto, which puts the value of the [words] Messiah Jesus, son of Mary—as in the inscription on the Dome of the Rock—right at the center of this both religious and political concept.”
The inscriptions on the Dome of the Rock are speaking of Jesus.
The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is considered to be an Islamic shrine, but it was never Islamic.
Inscriptions on the Dome of the Rock say:
Do not introduce anything into your religion and do not say anything about God but the truth. The messiah Jesus the son of Mary is but a messenger of God and His word which He gave to Mary and a spirit of His. And trust God and His messengers ... It is better for you for God is one God only... The messiah is not ashamed to be a servant to God.
This statement was in regards to the big debate going on in the Christian world: Was Jesus the son of God or the messenger and servant of God. Dyophysite Christians believed that Christ had two natures, the divine and the human. Monophysite Christians believed Christ had one nature: the devine and human were one.
Cheri's book goes into great detail about the Dome of the Rock, that it was built as a church, and much, much more--complete with sources.
The way to halt the Islamification of America is to learn the facts and fight with facts.
