Source refs: `video:predictive-history-o2nq-qu9kc@transcript:v1#seg-0004`, `video:predictive-history-o2nq-qu9kc@transcript:v1#seg-0005` - diagnosis: The Al-Aqsa Mosque being built on the Jewish Temple Mount is a central paradox because it appears to conflict with Jiang's account of Islam's early openness toward Jews. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-2odo8lokuo8@transcript:v1#seg-0005`, `video:predictive-history-2odo8lokuo8@transcript:v1#seg-0006` - diagnosis: Jiang says the idea that Jewish religion has always been monotheistic is false; he claims early Jewish people were polytheistic and that monotheism was retroactively projected backward into Jewish history.
