Stylistically, the white marble mausoleum is derived from the Muslim tradition of creating octagonal memorial structures that Koch traces back to the seventh-century Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. In the meantime, Ariel Sharon took a thousand of his security people and marched up to the third holiest site in Islam, the Dome of the Rock, and proclaimed it Jewish property forever.
