Nov. 9, 2008 (Neocon Express delivered by Newstex) -- As Greek Orthodox
and Armenian Christians brawl; Jewish police are sent in to separate
the two sides at Jesus' tomb. I have been to the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher many times and can offer first hand wittiness to the fact
that every inch of the Church is contested and occasionally fought over
by the various Christian sects.A ladder placed on a ledge over the
entrance sometime in the 19th century has remained there ever since
because of a dispute over who has the authority to take it down. The
keys to the church are in the hands of a Muslim family because no
branch of Christianity can agree on who should be in control of the
keys. Every window, every corner of the roof, every stone of the church
is controlled by different Christian sects and each branch struggles
for influence and control over this tiny piece of real estate. A tense
calm is usually maintained with occasional outbursts as happened today.
