– but there’s never a religion of peace category around when you need one.
BETHLEHEM, West Bank - Robed Greek Orthodox and Armenian priests attacked each other with brooms and stones inside the Church of the Nativity today as long-standing rivalries erupted in violence during holiday cleaning.
[…..]
But the cleanup turned ugly after some of the Orthodox faithful stepped inside the Armenian church’s section, touching off a scuffle between about 50 Greek Orthodox and 30 Armenians.
Palestinian police, armed with batons and shields, quickly formed a human cordon to separate the two sides so the cleaning could continue. Four people, some with blood running from their faces, were slightly injured.
An Associated Press photographer was ordered out of the church.

Unbelievable what qualifies as “news” these days.
