As sad as it is its quite common. The Church is divided between the 5various groups and they guard their territory very zealusly ( i believe some treaty years ago decided who gets what section). If they dont, they may end up losing it forever. Its been happening for decades, although brawls tends to occur more between the greek Orthodox and Roman Catholics, it still occurs. Also the Church of the Ressurection (Holy Sepulchre) does not have that "ambiance" of other holy places and monasteries. There tends to be lots of yelling (better than brawling) and the Church gets all sorts of secular and non-christian tourists who dont see the holiness of the place, its just part of there sight-seeing.
