It's HOW Jerusalem Has Always Been Remembered

In Remembering Jerusalem, Ruminations makes an interesting point that illustrates the difference between the Jewish and Muslim attachment to Jerusalem:
As I've often said, what's significant about the many mentions of Jerusalem in the Bible isn't how many of them there are, but how the Jews never stopped reading them (except when they already knew them by heart). Sometime this plays out in interesting ways. Take the 137th Psalm, for example.
Jews have not only never stopped reading about Jerusalem--they have never stopped singing about Jerusalem either. He illustrates his point with 3 videos--one of which also illustrates the difference between soccer teams Beitar Yerusahlayim and Manchester United.
