Jerusalem is a dynamic city that has
served as a religious center of the world for Christians, Jews, and
Muslims alike. The old city surrounded by it's ancient walls has been
one of the most desired places in the world and is still being fought
over today. The city is divided into sections which is evident by the division of it's residents. Innumerable people come to
visit the city for religious purposes, however it seems that many of
it's residents have forgotten their religion and don't practice the
things they claim to believe so strongly in.
Beyond the political turmoil of the
region the city maintains historic significance and charm. From it's
ancient city gates to it's gold domed mosques and from it's
cathedrals and synagogues to fortress towers everything is packed
together with busy narrow cobble stoned streets winding in every
direction. From a distance the city has the appearance of solidarity
and from within, although segregated, it is a true melting pot of
cultures.
