A supposedly Free day
Technically this was a free day on our itinerary. But I warned everyone from beforehand that this wasn't a holiday, and that we would try to pack in as much as possible. But you could tell that most people needed a little bit of time to absorb things and for some quiet contemplation – well, apart from two heathens who wanted to watch the football. So we had an optional programme for the afternoon, and fair play to everyone, most people came along.
In the morning I took Reverend Robert and Fran to Al-Aqsa to show them around. They haven't had the chance to visit it yet, since it's closed off to non-Muslims at the prayer times. So before their Sunday Worship we took this opportunity. It was actually very interesting to hear the Christian perspective of the history of the place, and how it aligned with the Islamic view. Again this is the real tragedy for me – the facts of the three religions are so tightly interwoven, yet there is so much division. Personally I blame politics for this rather than religion, but I know others disagree (of course they are wrong).
After Robert and Fran left for their worship, I decided to visit the graves of two of the companions of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). They are buried just outside the old city walls by the Golden Gates. These are the bricked up doors, that is said will be the entrance into Jerusalem by Jesus (Peace be upon him) when he returns.
I was very impressed with myself as I successfully asked directions to the graves of the companions in Arabic. But the guy would only tell me after I could prove that I was a Muslim. This is quite a common occurrence. Many of us have had to do this – mostly before entering the Al-Aqsa complex. The standard procedure is that as you walk up to the gates, the Israeli police would eye you up and notice that we're obviously not Palestinian. They ask where we are from – we'd tell them Britain – they find this difficult to accept since we're brown – we'd have to tell them we're originally Indian (this in particular I find offensive after my decision a while back that my ethnicity is officially “brown and lilac”. We'd then have to show them our passports. They'd then question if we are Muslim, and to prove it we'd normally have to recite some passages of the Quran.
The problem here is not that we can't do it. But it's just such a weird situation as armed police are telling you to recite prayers like you'd have to when you were a kid. So normally I start panicking and pronounce things weirdly. But so far I've always been let through. Actually today's was the most grilling I got. The police guy was even stopping random other people who were walking past, asking them if they've seen me before and if they knew I was really a Muslim.
Anyway, after visiting the graves, I just wandered around soaking in the atmosphere. I randomly started talking to one of the Muslim Guards of the Mosque (there's a weird two tiered guard system – armed Israeli police outside, then unarmed Muslim guards inside – more like caretakers) He was telling me how the job of being a guard was a family tradition. His father was a guard, and his grand father, and the whole line all the way back to when Caliph Omar first took over Jerusalem. His son is currently 20 and is training to be a guard.
I spent quite a bit of time with him as he told me the history of the so called “Soloman's stables” Islamically these are known as the Marwani Mosque – an underground set of chambers which is underneath the Aqsa. During the Crusades thousands of Muslims were killed in this mosque. The crusaders then used the mosque to house their horses – hence the name “Soloman's Stables”.
Two of our group spent the morning going to a small place outside Hebron to visit a family. Iqbal sponsors an Orphan, and so wanted to visit him personally. The kid is 10 years old now, but when he was 10 days old his father was shot dead with two other people at a checkpoint by Israeli police.
In the afternoon we met up with Mohammed. He's a local Palestinian who some of the group have met before, and in fact he's been to Gloucester too. He first took us to the Khanka of Sallahuddin (I'm not too sure how to translate Khanka – basically it was the place where Sallahuddin would go to pray and contemplate on the state of the empire, and where we would conduct his business and give advice). When he conquered Jerusalem he built his Khanka right next to the Church of the holy Sepulchre, and if I'm right he even had his own personal entrance into the church from his Khanka (it's shut up now).
Next was the Mosque of Omar. This mosque is named after the Caliph Omar. He was the one who first took Jerusalem – and he did it without bloodshed. The Christians of Jerusalem actually welcomed him and voluntarily gave him the key to the city. When he got to Jerusalem we went to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and met with the local priests and paid his respects there. But it was the time for the Prayers – the priest told Omar to pray inside the Church. But Omar said that if he did, future generations of Muslims would want to do the same, and sooner or later they would take the church away from the Christians. So instead he prayed outside. The Mosque of Omar was built in honour of this occasion.
On the door of the mosque is inscribed the original declaration that was made at this time by the Caliph. It said that all the rights the Muslims had would be extended to the Christians as long as they paid their taxes. When Jerusalem was under Christian rule, Jews weren't allowed in Jerusalem, and Caliph Omar was the one to give them visitation rights.
Mohammed wanted to invite us over to his house. 19 of us ended up going! He lives in a small town called Zaim just on the other side of the Mount of Olives in the West Bank. The first thing we noticed as we entered his house was a picture above his door. It was this old sketch of a Mosque. On closer inspection it turned out to be our local Mosque in Gloucester. This picture was one of the presents a friend of mine gave him when he visited the UK in 2000. He was very pleased to hear that the Imam of that mosque is with our group.
We knew that he wanted us over for some tea and food, but as it turned out, his wife had prepared this huge feast for us. We started panicking as we realised we also had dinner at the hotel. But she had gone to a serious amount of effort, and besides it looked and was much tastier – so we chowed down.
Talking to Mohammed's brother, Ahmed, we found out that he had just come out of Prison about a month and half ago. He had been in for 5 years. This would seem shocking but pretty much every young Palestinan male has been in prison for some time or another – it's just part of life. As someone else pointed out, he seemed particularly cheery even though he clearly had a bad time, and he was questioned about it. He just said how it's just one of those things – you have to expect it. So rather than complain just live with it. He said how if he was in prison for a crime he did commit then that would be different – but instead he was there for what they believe is doing the right thing.
After we got back to the hotel Imran asked Ahmed to take him to a barber – it's his policy to get his hair cut in a local place whenever he goes travelling. So he took us to a little barbershop in the old city, and while we were waiting, Ahmed took us to this secret little spot where you can get a great view of the Wailing Wall and the two Mosques. The last time from up close we couldn't get an overview of how they are situated, but this time you could see just how close and connected it all is. The Wailing Wall is literally the outer wall for Aqsa, and it's pretty much in between the two domes. You have to wonder why this area causes division rather than unification. It was an interesting thought at the end of the day.
** The picture shows Robert and Fran in front of the Mosque of the dome of the Rock. Oh I've also decided that instead of changing these photos later for ones that I finalise, I would just add the extra ones as new ones. This will mean I will have 10 extra photos this year - but I don't care.

The Rosette Nebula is a large, circular H II region, located at the edge of a gigantic molecular cloud in the constellation of the Unicorn Monoceros, located in the band of the Milky Way. The open cluster NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) is closely associated with the nebula, by virtue of the fact that the stars in the cluster have formed from matter within the nebula.
The cluster and nebula lie at a distance of about 5,200 light-years from Earth (although estimates of the distance vary considerably, as high as 4,900 light-years)1 and measure about 130 light-years across. The radiation from the young stars excites the atoms in the nebula, causing them to emit radiation that makes the nebula glow. The mass of the nebula is estimated to be about 10,000 solar masses.

The Silcantar Valthalion is a all-wheel drive 4-wheel steering mid-engined supercar. It is powered by a transverse-mounted V8 engine located directly behind the driver's seat, which is placed in the center of the car, like in the McLaren F1. The passenger seat is located to the left of the driver's seat, with the position of the McLaren's second passenger seat occupied by the 4-speed manual transmission.
Valthalion's styling cues are primarily drawn from Formula 1 racecars, Ford GT, and Audi R8. Like a Formula 1 racer, Valthalion lacks fenders over the wheels. While this is probably not an aerodynamic advantage, it increases playability by increasing suspension travel and it looks freakin' awesome. If you were to remove the roof and front headlights, Valthalion would likely closely resemble a Formula 1 car due to its chassis and body design. The large front grill was largely inspired by Audi R8, and blends influences from American muscle cars and modern supercars. Because it combines features from muscle cars and supercars, Valthalion coincidentally resembles Ford GT, with its long hood and fastback and low profile.
Valthalion began as an attempt to create a supercar with low ground clearance from the parts of the 8880 Super Car. My primary, if not only, gripe with 8880 is that it looks like a Lamborghini Gallardo body welded to the chassis of a Dodge Ram. While this makes for great playability, it looks pretty ugly. Valthalion's wishbones are horizontal in their normal position, unlike 8880's, which are angle down at about 30 degrees. The result is a car with a total height less than twice the diameter of the wheels. The omission of fenders was an unintentional consequence of the low profile. It is pretty much impossible to create fenders for this car that give the suspension remotely reasonable travel and are not half the height of the windshield.
Valthalion, like Silcantar, is derived from Sindarin (one of Tolkein's elvish languages), and means "dauntless strength". (Silcantar, coincidentally, means "light bearer", roughly).

That which is made by man is ravaged by exposure – the lash of the wind, the blinding sun.
Ghostly beautiful, an echo of their utility is all that remains.
The retaliation of nature is abundant and bold;
Deep, soft grasses whispering green and gold;
And the dark and terrible sky, ready to swallow us whole.
