Time Magazine, of all people, writes this about the efforts to repair the ramp leading up to the Temple Mount:

Muslims also say that the excavations will also be destroying chunks of their religious heritage, but Israeli archeologists and Palestinian workers on the site are clearing away every stone and pottery fragment with the precision of surgeons. Not that it matters. Throughout the Muslim world, the Israeli excavations adjacent to al-Aqsa are being portrayed as sacrilege, as another blow by Israel and, indirectly, by its ally America, against Islam. For the last three days, the story has topped headlines and news broadcasts throughout the Muslim world.

Given the well-documented efforts by the Waqf to destroy any archaeological evidence on the Temple Mount that links the site to Jewish history, ya gotta admire the chutzpah even as one fears for the future.
