Project update

So I totally switched gears I'm focusing on the concept of holy sites. I'll be interviewing an Israeli Jewish immigrant, Christian Student at Ohio State, and I'm still working on finding someone who could give an Islamic perspective (so if anyone knows of someone I could interview that would be great...thanks). I will be asking all participants: What makes a site holy/How does a site become holy? Why or why not is it important to have/preserve holy places? What should be done with a holy area? Is there an area that you consider holy? Why or Why not? Can a place considered to be holy/spiritual be shared? (if it cannot be shared who should get control over the area and why?) With the conflict in Jerusalem what do you think will be the fate of the holy places there? I am open for any suggestions in this examination on Holy places....
