Al-Question is in Israel and as your explanations says it is the Arabic name for Jerusalem. Poorly worded question.

I have been to Al-Quads but had no clue it meant Jerusalem. What does Jerusalem mean?

Interesting question. I thought might be interesting to add that Al-Quds for Muslims is located exactly in the same place where Yerushalayim is located for Christians. These are two names for the Old City of Jerusalem. "The Old City constitutes less than one percent of present-day Jerusalem, yet for both Israelis and Palestinians it remains the very heart of Jerusalem... within the entire city, only the Old City and the Mount of Olives emerge as areas of extreme importance for both people."

Next question: who really cares what the Arabic name is? Jerusalem is Jerusalem!

Mrs. Marci, with due respect, there have been many wars on this city between Muslims and Christians. Kindly read some good history books or google to get info.
