[Ynet] The head of the world's largest Islamic organization has paid a rare visit to Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque in a bid to strengthen Paleostinian claims to the holy site. Iyad Madani, secretary-general of the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, urged the world's Moslems to follow suit and visit Al-Aqsa, the third-holiest site in Islam.
During the visit Monday, Madani prayed at the iconic Dome of the Rock. He said: "It is our right to come here and to pray here."
