阿克萨清真寺宗教和政治功能解读

作为伊斯兰世界的第三大圣寺，阿克萨清真寺有着重要的宗教和政治功能，是伊斯兰宗教建筑和伊斯兰教的象征。对巴勒斯坦来说，它是国家的象征、主权的象征，也是其民族团结的象征；对以色列来说，阿克萨清真寺旁的“西墙”遗址是犹太民族信仰和民族精神的集中体现。正是由于阿克萨具有如此重要的社会功能，导致阿以之间围绕耶路撒冷老城的争夺异常激烈，并使之成为阿以和平进程中的一个“死结”。

Analysis of the Religious and Political Functions of Al-Aqsa Mosque

Al-Aqsa mosque, which is the third saint temple in the Islamic world, has been an important symbol in religion and politics. It is not only the Islamic architecture and the religious symbol, but also the future symbol of the Palestinian state, especial the symbol of sovereignty and the unity of Palestinians. For Israel, the "Wailing Wall" which is part of Al-Aqsa, is the symbol of Israeli religious faith and the national spirit. Al-Aqsa has made Arab-Israel conflict extremely fierce, and the peace process between them becomes even harder.
