Significance of Jerusalem in Islam, Judaism and Christianity

"With peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians once again picking up steam, many are reminded that the status of Jerusalem is going to be one of the key issues, and probably more difficult to resolve than even the size of the future Palestinian state. In fact, the status of Jerusalem, as well as the right of Palestinian refugees from 1948 and their descendants (and other relatives) to move to Israel, is what caused the breakdown of final status peace talks in 2000. The primary reason why Jerusalem is such a hot subject is not just due to its political significance as the city demanded as capital of two different nations, but also due to its religious significance."
