Seems to me Jerusalem was seized from its original builders by military force.
I'm sure the Jebusites would agree wholeheartedly.
And who have been the majority inhabitants of this city? Who has lived here continuously for 3,000 years or more? In whose religion is this the most sacred site of all?
The Muslims and Christians held a majority up to about 1840. Prior to that the last time there was a Jewish majority was apx. 77 AD.
As for most sacred, it's a toss up between Christianity and Judaism.
