Click here (TempleInstitute-YouTube) to learn about one Jewish messianic group's active efforts to initiate the end-time... How might Christians and/or Muslims view such an agenda?

Both the Christians and the Muslims would view the actions of this group to be sacreligious. The Christians due to the fact that Christians believe that the end time is set and man cannot rush the time of the Lord. The Muslims because the Jews wish to destroy the Dome of the Rock in order to build the third temple of the Lord. This should not be allowed to happen in this way.
It just seemed like another religious preparation video. I feel that it was a very informational video talking about what they do and what they are preparing for. I can see people interpreting this different ways. Some Christians may support this because Jesus was a Jew and this doesn't seem like a bad idea. Others may think that this is a waste of time and that this will be a good place for you to live when everyone els is taken up to heaven. Everyone interprets religion differently. We are just waiting for the end to see who's right.
The Temple Institute seems to have a very long-term perspective of planning, preparing, and constructing the Third Temple, at least relative to our lifetimes. Of course, with a religion as old as Judaism, it may also be considered a radically fast schedule.
While the Temple Institute is not directly causing harm to anyone by preparing for the construction of the Third Temple, it could be argued that its actions are setting a dangerous precedent. In order for the Third Temple to be built, the Dome of the Rock, which is one of Islam’s holiest sites, would have to be demolished. The destruction of the Dome of the Rock would undoubtedly cause outrage across the Muslim world (the Ummah).
Christian views on the construction of Third Temple seem to vary greatly, such as seeing it as either fundamental to or unnecessary for the second coming of Christ and its associated apocalypse. Thus, support for the Third Temple could vary greatly by sect.
As we learned, one Jewish military commander wanted to destroy the Dome of the Rock in order to make room for the Third Temple to be built. I would not suggest at all that the Temple Institute would go to such lengths, but extremist religious attitudes towards this issue do seem to exist.
They tread dangerous grounds. That whole place is one of the most fought over cities in the world. And with much reason. Building The Third Temple is quite the task. Christians might not actively appose it, but I'm willing to be the Muslim community would, it would mean the end of one of their most sacred sites. The Temple Institute had better be careful.
