Fight erupts in Jerusalem church
Different denominations often vie over access to parts of the site
Israeli police had to break up a fist fight that erupted between Greek and Armenian Orthodox clergymen at one of Christianity's holiest sites.
The scuffles broke out at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on Orthodox Palm Sunday.
Brawls are not uncommon at the church, which is uneasily shared by various Christian denominations.
In this case, witnesses say an Armenian priest forcibly ejected a Greek priest from an area near the tomb of Jesus.
They say the attacker felt the Greek priest had spent too long at the tomb.
When police arrived to break up the fight, some were reportedly beaten back by worshippers using palm fronds.
Worshippers reportedly tried to fend off police using palm fronds
Two Armenians were detained by police, prompting supporters to stage a rally in protest outside the police station.
Rivalry between the six different churches which grudgingly share the Holy Sepulchre dates back to the aftermath of the crusades, and to the great schism between Eastern and Western Christianity in the 11th Century.
Each denomination controls, and jealously guards, its own section of the labyrinthine site.

These peace touting free of the sin of death monks need to watch the real monks: the Shaolin monks and learn from them.
1)The snake technique
2)the Wooden cross claw
3)Drunken Monk technique
Every monk was kung-fu fighting
Their moves were fast as lightning
in fact it was a little bit frightning
Jet Li as The Greek Orthodox "Monk of Famine"
Jackie Chan as the Armenian Menace
and David Caradine as the Head of HaShurtah
In the end they eat some bread and drink some wine over dead bodies and are not prosecuted by believing in the Amidah Buddha
lol I'm sorry I canot help it
They were hitting eachother with palm leaves...
I was waiting for one of them to take the cross and hit people with it
