Why is Jerusalem considered so Holy by all three Abrahamic religions? I know we Christians consider it Holy Land, but not so sure why. Is it because Jesus walked this land? I know about the jews - they consider it Canaan, the Promised Land. I would like some of you to elaborate these 2 topics. But why muslims consider this holy? This is mystery to me. Thanks in advance.

It's where Muhammed had a wacky adventure.
The angel gayboy took him to Jerusalem then chucked him at heaven to meet all the previous prophets and to learn the signs of god or something.
Mainly because if you are going to make up a nice fairytale called religion, you might want to incorporate already existing religious symbols to give your fairytale more legitimacy, so since Jerusalem was the holy city of Jews, Christians and muslims also wanted to incorporate the city somehow to make their religions look more legit.
Note that christianity during its beginning mainly tried to convert the 8 million jews living in the roman empire, opening up christianity to anyone came only later. So if you want to convert jews you need something that they like.
Muslims wanted to convert both Jews and Christians so they also needed a symbol that Jews and Christians knew and liked.
Etc. pp.

Because if they didn't think it's holy that would mean they're just an ancient gang of terrorist pirates posing as divinely sanctioned authorities.
