Prior to the advent of these two nationalist movements, the site's significance was largely understood in religious terms. Beginning with the nineteenth century, however, the site's significance became reconfigured within the context of modern, nationalist discourses--a Zionist one and a Palestinian one. At the same time, one cannot really say that in either case, as a nationalist symbol, it became secularized, even if Palestinian nationalism and especially Zionism could be understood in their original incarnations as predominantly secular movements. Indeed, influence has run largely in the other direction. This book argues that the site's religious significance with respect to Judaism and Islam has gradually altered the character of both Zionism and Palestinian nationalism respectively, in a manner that has served to blur the line between the two and their respective majority faiths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45278681170071,"sku":"9783319842745","price":4040.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319842745.webp?v=1769291601","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nationalism-and-the-haram-al-sharif-temple-mount-the-exclusivity-of-holiness-9783319842745","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
