I don't see it as promoting it

It's for information purposes, and this is a very dangerous group. Many of the GOP believe in this, making policy around it and want to legislate extreme Christian "values" for us all to further the cause of hastening the apocalypse.
Some right wing ultra Orthodox Jew buy into this - therefore the West Bank settlers and the belief that God gave them Judea and Samaria.
It was about twenty year ago that I had a vicious argument with one of these freaks who supported the Temple Mount Faithful. He was a purveyor of essential oils. I had issue with the name of his company and especially that he was selling a mixture of incense that is forbidden to those of the Jewish faith because it is only to be used once the Temple is rebuilt- which according to scripture will not happen until after Moschiach appears. I am not a religious person, but I do know a bit about these things.
So much for my brief explanation of the issue from one stand point. These people are obnoxious as they come and are even a danger to us in the US. I'm sure they're supported by Netanyahu and his ilk even though I don't believe that he believes it - they just give him more support in Israel to further his agenda.
stepping off my soap box now..... 
ETA: I just googled the company, they're still in business and still making the Temple fragrances.
