Yafa, this has been up awhile without an answer. I have to say I can't imagine any reason to do this. I'd be interested to know why more than who!

When I was on a tour of the base of the temple mount, the tour guide told us that there were some crusader's that were very unintelligent and when they saw the dome of the rock, they immediatly assumed that it was solomon's temple, not knowing that that Solomon's temple had been destroyed many of hundreds of years before.
