Peace, Love and Tolerence...???

When, Brother-In-Law Barry told me this morning, that there'd been a biff-up between monks in a sacred christian church in Jerusalem - I didn't believe him.

"Nah," he said, "It's true. It really happened. Look it up on You Tube."

So I did.

And ... here's what the BBC News had to say:

"Israeli police have had to restore order at one of Christianity's holiest sites after a mass brawl broke out between monks in Jerusalem's Old City. Fighting erupted between Greek Orthodox and Armenian monks at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the traditional site of Christ's crucifixion. Two monks from each side were detained as dozens of worshippers traded kicks and punches at the shrine, said police. Trouble flared as Armenians prepared to mark the annual Feast of the Cross."
