"Closed by the Muslims in 810, reopened in 1102 by the Crusaders, it was walled up by Saladin after regaining Jerusalem in 1187. Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent rebuilt it together with the city walls, but walled it up in 1541, and it stayed that way.[18]"
"Suleiman may have taken this decision purely for defensive reasons...)
(Yeah...right...go with that...)
The Ottomans
(Im sorry who was that again?
Oh yeah, those guys...The Ottomans)
also built a cemetery in front of the gate.
To keep "proper Jews" from entering through it one would presume.
If you didn't think he was coming (again for Christians)
and going to enter through it just like he did last time?
Then why bother to wall it up and put a cemetery in front of it?
Like thats gonna stop the creator of the universe from entering through it again.
