Entry: Fighting Monks: 'Holy War' in the Holy Land Tuesday, May 12, 2009



Who says that only Shaolin Monks can fight? If anyone of you remember last November's news, I bet that you'll remember this. Yes, the story of brawling Armenian and Greek Orthodox monks at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, revered as the site of Jesus' crucifixion, burial and ressurection.

It seems that there is a 'territorial conflict' between the 6 different sects of Christianity who divide control of the church. It seems they regularly fight over turf and influence and it happened a few times before, where Israeli police are called in to intervene. Guess the Middle-Eastern conflict is not only about Palestinians only.

Here are a few pictures of this 'historical' moment:

'Get him! Get him!.....'

'Got Him!!!!!!' ליןא ידטקק דק!!!!......' Ok ok its gibberish

'What ya starin at eh? Wanna piece of me copper?'

'Give him to me!!!......'

'I'll knock your bloody block off!!!!'

'Esi im deghna!!!!'

After the fight......

Guess the players in the Middle-Eastern conflict is not only between the Israelis and Palestinians but also fighting monks.
