TOURISTS in Jerusalem were last night treated to one of the Holy Land's most exciting monk fights in more than 20 years.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Christianity's holiest shrine and the traditional site of the death and resurrection of Jesus, was transformed into a blood-soaked cauldron of fists and teeth as rival gangs of monks went at it like devout maniacs.

According to eyewitnesses the violence erupted when the head of the Coptic Mission accused his Ethiopian counterpart of failing to fully understand the indivisible nature of the Trinity and of "dressing like a nonce".

"Then the head of the Armenian mission arrives, looking all serene and holy. He walks up to a Jesuit and says, 'sorry we're late but I was too busy doin' your momma!'. Then they both go into karate mode."

She added: "The best bit was the enormous, seven foot Coptic wielding a nunchuk. Everyone just stopped for a moment and stared at him and then he let out this blood-curdling scream and started cracking skulls like some kind of badass ninja."

Say wha?!!?!... :eek: :cool: :D
 
Saw this on the news last night, it was quite literally the funniest thing I have seen for a long time.

Monk riot: Words cannot describe the awesome.
 
The BBC link at time 48 to 50secs, it would appears that the Greek Monks (assuming the one in blue?) are no Chinese monks - couldn't even throw a kick without falling over :p
 
I reckon they must have all got half cut on altar wine before they started fighting as none them seemed to be able to stand up while trying to get stuck into each other.
