City Of Jerusalem

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have historical relations to the city of Jerusalem dating back to the start of each religion. For the past 1,400 years these three monotheistic religions have been feuding over the ¨ownership¨ of Jerusalem. The popularly asked question is who does Jerusalem belong to?
