"Members of rival Christian orders have traded blows at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, with four people reported wounded in the fray.
Greek Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic priests were sweeping up at the church following the Christmas rites of the Western churches earlier in the week.
Reports say some Orthodox faithful encroached on the Armenian section, prompting pitched battles with brooms."

Humanity is in a sad state of affairs, isn't it? If we could only stop the violence due to superstition, we'd finally be able to get on with the true business at hand - violence due to greed and power-grabbing.
Hey, some people have to lead, some have to follow. Or, as Yale and Harvard put it - "We can't accept just anyone".
Quite a cynical dissertation on mankind, I know. In the end, I suppose that ultimately "we need someone to talk to and someone to sweep the floors".

I have heard that Armenian Apostolic Broom Fu is deadly. They have perfected the sweep attack. It is likely they brushed the weaker Greek style aside.

Haven't you noticed that Armenian priests have black belt? Thats when they become master in Kung-Fu. The Greeks were lucky nun-chaki was not used, only brooms was used just to teach a lesson.
