[edit] Israeli ownership

I realize that Israel actually occupies/owns (depending on your POV) Jerusalem, but the PA claims it. So, I placed it with both stubs. V. Joe 04:49, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Israeli tag

since Muslims there r not Israelis and don't want to be so. In addition, the quarter is in East Jerusalem. Robin Hood 1212 14:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

It's part of Israeli municipality of Jerusalem, and by the way, Jews live there too. Please stop injecting your politics into every article, thanks. Jayjg ^(talk) 16:49, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Make the "stub" neutral

Months back, I changed the "stub" in this article to read "Middle East geography stub," due to the fact that the Quarter is located in occupied East Jerusalem. International law and consensus is clear - this is not part of Israel. Rather, it is the occupied West Bank. Israelis, however, claim it as their own. Due to this dispute, "Middle East" geography stub would be a more appropriate entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.245.188.228 (talk)

[edit] Population of Muslims in the Muslim Quarter?

Currently the article only lists the Jewish population of the Muslim Quarter. Surely the Muslim population is also important information? As it stands, the article appears somewhat biased. L124.96.203.5 10:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
