Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, December 29, 2011

Rival groups of Greek Orthodox and Armenian clerics brawled at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity while tourists looked on. About 100 priests fought with brooms while cleaning the church, built on the spot where Christians believe Jesus was born, in preparation for Orthodox Christmas Jan. 7. Palestinian police armed with batons and shields broke up the clashes. "No one was arrested because all those involved were men of God," said Lt. Col. Khaled al-Tamimi of Bethlehem police. "It was a trivial problem that ... occurs every year."

/Always refer to them as "naivete scenes".
//Get dirty looks for doing so.

Pretty much the same thing that's been going on since religion was invented.

They normally fight against one another, not against themselves. Just this week we see Jews fighting Jews and now Christians fighting Christians.

Kan, I grew up Catholic. We were taught that all the other denominations were, you know, um, not quite kosher, to borrow a term from your people.

So intra-faith squabbles have always been going on (or at least for a very long time). Sunni/Shiite, ultra-orthodox/secular, and so on.

That is true CBOB. Then there is the famous "Protestant/Catholic" war. I wasn't thinking I guess. Par for the course =D

The GreekOthodox and the Armenian clerics have been fighting for along time....

"[The] problem stems from the fact that the two windows above belong to the Armenians and they have the right to clean and repair them, and the cornice on which the ladder rests belongs to the Greek Orthodox. At some point (last century) the Armenians put out the ladder for the purpose of doing work on the windows, [and] the Greeks protested that the ladder was resting on their portion. The Armenians refused to remove the ladder - hence the frozen reality."

I can't verify but I think they have a Jewish Rabbi settle disputes....

This appears to be a tradition and is expected every year. Kind of like the tradition of the demorat/rethug brawl every few years. It's expected.

If both groups care so much for the place--why don't they just split the costs?

Create a committee with equal numbers from the groups to draw a To Do List--price it up and get 'er done!

Play Barney music of "Clean Up Clean Up"!

Brooms--really?

my first reaction was poo-poo, it's just brooms ..
BUT .. one of those Monks appears to be wielding a car antenna!

Teach the Rapture-Mullas some fisticuffs instead of them fighting like little girls.

Hopefully more than one of them will end up with a broken jaw.

says the guy who reads a book written by a pervert who married a 6 year old girl, bedded her at age 9!

I never read your dad's diary.

Ah christians being christians at christmas... How VERY christian of them.

:-)

I've re-loaded the page three times and finally witnessed the "carnage" - wow, they were throwing their brooms, sneaking up and striking like little bitches. Just, wow.

I half-expected some tonguing and perhaps grappling, or maybe some Neo versus Neo action, but alas they raid the janitor's closet and make no attempt at forgiving each other.

It appears that this isn't the very first instance of such unseemly behavior and obvious blasphemy.

Armenian & Greek Orthodox Monks Fight Jerusalem Sun., Nov. 9, 2008

Allegedly the Armenian monks wanted to begin the ceremony without the Greek monks involved, then all monks began shoving each other?!.. Like capture the flag for DISRESPECTFUL AND IMPATIENT COCKSUCKERS.

So, they have to each stay on their "side" of the tomb shrine in order to play without hurting one another. Holy shit.

Doesn't their entire LIFETIME of STUDY and WORSHIP equate to Zen-like qualities? Since they feel threatened to violence by other monks, I wonder how they imagine the public views their attitude or even their purpose?

Monk-bashing is sad fun!:[

. Just this week we see delusionals fighting delusionals and now delusionals fighting delusionals.

Maybe they thought they could nativity rig a game of Quiddich?

You fixed it for you. FTFY is the sign of a pussy to weak to make their own posts and instead want to pervert something someone else said.

These are men who forbid things that would keep them sane, like performing a dirty sanchez on a street whore. They are pent up, and must take it out some way or another.

Hey now, I just used it on old afkababble.

No need for the broad brush, just say NorthGuy's a giant pussy and leave it at that.

I saw this post on the comments page before previous ones and I said to myself, "I'll bet she's talking about northgay". I scrolled up and sure enough , . . LOL

I agree, kanrei -- the FTFY that los estupidos use gets really trite. I wish these folks would grow a brain and post something worthwhile

just say NorthGuy's a giant pussy and leave it at that

Can't because EXP played that gay ass FTFY crap yesterday. It is a pussy ploy.

Here is what I originally said: Just this week we see Jews fighting Jews and now Christians fighting Christians.

Here is NG's version of it: Just this week we see delusionals fighting delusionals and now delusionals fighting delusionals.

Have the balls to call followers of faith delusional on your own merit and fuck off.

Northguy with balls would be oxymoronic, contradictory, etc.

FTFY is the sign of a real intellect to make their point succinctly and yes...... to pervert something someone else said

I say this as the most holiest of Christians, but Christians are fucking delusional, most of the fucking time.

I start to worry when they start blowing each other up.

Our God's better than their God, so be sure to send your money to us.

With as much butt fucking the Afghan army was doing to each other, your religion has no room to speak..

Certainly is a Christ-life behavior. Forgot what was taught way back then.

Come on people wake up...There is no invisible man...

This was all done as a money maker, con job , a suckers market..

With as much butt fucking the Afghan army was doing to each other, your religion has no room to speak..

Butt fucking is banned in Islam. If the Afghan army is doing butting-fucking, it must be something they learned from you.

They should sell tickets. One of the funniest things I have seen. They should wear helmets though.

Muslim are ignorant of anal sex until filthy Westerners pornographied them?

Actually, you are right - the modern torture and military techniques, tool-making and technologies are from the US. Way back in the day, Saddam was drilling holes and cutting off limbs before Rumsfeld brought him weapons of mass destruction. Some might question the impetus for such mass death of political opposition, or why eliminate the natural racial and familial diversity. All I can reply is the freedom to democratize targets what we bring. If you have the inclination for genocide (doesn't Islam have "cleansing" of non-Muslim, just like Judaism?), want to oppress a people attempting to politically evolve, then we have the means to tool you into a force so fearful that Adolph Hitler will resurrect to oppose you instead of "Jesus". Also, the price is really low - just make sure to obliterate as many civilians as possible to up the re-sale value. Thanks again for the buttsex!

I thought the Greeks perfected particular art form that while they were kicking the Persian King Xerxe's ass all over Salamis.

You are mistaken, that was back when Persians all had vaginas.

doesn't Islam have "cleansing" of non-Muslim, just like Judaism?

No, we don't have ethnic cleansings. We do have conversions.
