When people are passionate about something, this can happen. There are accounts of ancient Constantinople where people in the marketplace would come to blows with shouts of "God is One!", "God is Three!". Even the tradition of the Holy Fire of Pascha has its raucous element. I'm not saying it is necessarily a good thing, worthy of emulation, but hey, peoples is peoples. And the situation at the Holy Sites is certainly fraught with politics. That is why a Moslem family keeps the keys to one of the holiest Christian sites in Jerusalem!
