Recurring Themes
News of the Weird reported in 2002 on a rooftop brawl in Jerusalem's Church
of the Holy Sepulchre (under joint control of six Christian faiths, whose
adherents sometimes get snippy with each other), when a cleric placed a chair
in an area reserved for another faith. In September 2004, Roman Catholic and
Greek Orthodox clerics had a fistfight (resulting in at least five injuries)
after a Catholic left a door open during an Orthodox service.
(Coincidentally, on almost the same day in Bedford, Ohio, police said that
more than 100 Sikhs were involved in a brawl over proper clerical dress at
the Guru Gobind Singh Sikh Temple.) [BBC News, 9-27-04] [WEWS-TV
