The site is one of the holiest sites in Islam because of its place in Mohammed’s life– “the Noble Sanctuary” — and the Third Temple project is explicitly aimed at destroying Muslim sites of worship, including the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque. As the Temple Institute states:
Geo-politically, the Temple Mount has to be cleared of the Dome of the Rock and the mosques which are presently located upon it before the physical rebuilding of the Holy Temple can begin. Many scenarios can be imagined which would accomplish this, the most promising, and not necessarily the most far-fetched, would entail Moslem recognition of the Mount as the intended location for the rebuilt Temple.
From the Indiegogo campaign:
After millennia of yearning, only one organization is paving the way for the rebuilding of the Temple…
Now is time for one of its most ambitious projects yet: completing architectural plans for the actual construction, fusing ancient texts and modern technology.
A friend, Khalid, sent a complaint to Indiegogo, and got a response (excerpted below), but Indiegogo has taken no action.
Thank you for reaching out. Indiegogo empowers campaign owners and contributors to raise money for, or support, the things that matter to them.

This story has been at Haaretz and Al Jazeera too.
Why stop with the dome and al Aqsa mosque? Let’s raze the whole city and sow the ground with salt.
Dismantle everything in and around Temple Mount. Move all the Jewish stuff from Temple Mount to within Partition-borders Israel, and all the Muslim stuff to within Partition borders Palestine. Create a nice public park in the Free City of Jerusalem.
I recently gave a modest donation to the Palestinian student seeking help to stay in America to finish his education.I used Indiegogo to transfer the donation.
I will not use that method again.
Would they allow me to use their site to give donations to Hamas.
Looks as tacky as what the Muslims are doing in Mecca. Oy Vey!
Those Jews are wasting their time with their nickel and dime campaign. They should ask for financial help of their ISIS pals that are now filthy rich as they too would like to see the destruction of prominent Muslim places of worship same as the Taliban had done to the 1700-year old Buddhas at Bamian in 2001 . ISIS destroyed several so far in Iraq and Syria dating back several centuries and a 1800-year old church in Mosul and Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa is surely in their sight which blends right in with these Jews’ plans.
