How is it that Jerusalem can be the place for the "third holiest site in Islam" when it's mentioned zero time in the koran? Its mentioned 800+ times in the books of the infidels. No one seems to point that out so I did.

That's an interesting question. There are a couple of ways of
looking at it.

First, the Bible is in many ways a history book covering thousands of
years of history. The Koran covers only about 30 years. So to
compare the two, you'd have to combine the Koran with religious
historical texts by Islamic scholars.

The second way of looking at it is that the Bible is part of Islam.
So you can think of Christian religious texts as Old Testament + New
Testament, while the Muslim religious texts are Old Testament + New
Testament + Koran.
