What is Jerusalem worth ?

I won't be sad if all the Abrahamic religions die fighting amongst each other. So that we Indians/Chinese/Japanes can rule whats left of the world.

Several facts:

1) Jerusalem is mentioned 622 times in Jewish Bible and not a single time in Quran.
2) During Jesus, time Jerusalem was one of the biggest cities in the world with population of 600 thousands, during the Arab rule Jerusalem became a large village with some 20 K population.
3) When Arabs captured Palestine they set the province capital in Lod, instead of Jerusalem. Later switched to Ramla.
4) Majority of Jerusalem's population were Jews even before the beginning of Zionist immigration in 1880.
5) During 1948-1967 when East Jerusalem including Old City and Al Aqsa was in Jordan's hands not a single Muslim leader bothered to visit it (except the Jordanians themselves).

One fact.. Torah and Bible both are the books of Islam.

I have not studied Quran as a full, but i think it is mentioned in reference to the travel of prophet Mohammad (pbuh) to Mosque Aqsa, riding Burraq and re-appearance of Jesus (pbuh).
If you know, Quran has asked Muslims to wait for the Jesus (pbuh) and when he comes follow him, and ignore the fake Jesus a.k.a anti christ.
Other than that, Jerusalem is like a museum of history, it is the place where Jesus (pbuh) was born and historically, connects to to many more prophets including, prophet Musa (pbuh) aka Moses.

IMO... Jews and Christians are connected to Jerusalem historically but Muslims are connect for both histrionically and its role in future. however, it does not mean all Muslims shall migrate to Jeruslam or start a war to grab the land.... at the same time Israel shall respect the locals and offer peace to every native and visitor.

Please, correct me if i'm wrong! Perhaps, a Muslim who have studied Quran can described in better way.
