Dropped two here, didn't know the church (thought ascension seemed fitting) or Muhammad (I knew Elijah was supposed to have ascended directly to heaven, so I assumed it was him)

The question about Muhammad is difficult because it's not well known outside of Islam (but still a good question).

But the part about speaking to God in Heaven wasn't mentioned anywhere in the Bible. I think that question wasn't too hard to figure out.

Regarding #9, it is not according to tradition but according to Quran(17:1).

But there's no mention of a winged beast in the Quran, though.

Question 4 is just terribly inaccurate. There is no entity called "East Jerusalem" anymore, just as there is no East Berlin or South Vietnam anymore.

No part of Jerusalem "legally belongs" to Judea and Samaria; Jerusalem is a part of the Jerusalem District.

Very disappointing quiz.

The fact that you called it Judea and Samaria means that you are biased in your view of this issue. These are not the internationally recognized names of that region (i.e. the West Bank). The question is perfectly within the legal bounds of international law, even though I agree with you that that doesn't really mean anything on the ground.

"Very dissapointing" because the quiz author would not recognize the illegally occupied and annexed Eastern Jerusalem as part of Israel - when it is by international law part of the West Bank/Palestine?

Get a grip, please. Free Palestine from occupation, and Free Israel from Netanyahu and his right wing extremist government.

Everything you said is wrong. There is no such thing as "palestine" or a "west bank". Under international law it is de jure and de facto a part of Israel.

Don't patronize me.

Was Solomon not replacing an older temple with the one he built? Correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure there was a temple there before.

Every question about the Old City. Why not ask about what you would expect to learn about if you visit Yad Vashem? The name of the government building? Anything about the British mandate, Ottoman rule, the Crusades, or any of the other countless times those in charge have changed? The full name of "The Shuk"?

The only Jewish country in the entire world, and only 2 of 10 questions are about Jews or Jewish history there (and 2 is being generous, since the one about the "Bible" should be "Tanakh" if it's meant to be considered a "Jewish" question).

Why does the question about Jesus present him being crucified there and being resurrected as factual, while other questions get "according to tradition" or "in the Bible"? Jesus getting resurrected is not a historical fact!
