Here's another instance of confrontation fueled by religious extremism. The victims were Armenian Christians and the perpetrators were orthodox Jews.

JERUSALEM, NOVEMBER 1, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. On the evening

of Thursday, 27 October, an altercation between a group of students and

The fight was among the students at the seminary and dean. This had nothing to do with the Jews.

It doesn't say it in the article but a friend of mine heard from his close friend Abp. Nourhan Manougian,who used to be pastor in Houston, but is now the Grand Sacristan in Jerusalem, that the fight was indeed between the students of an Orthodox Jewish school and the Armenian seminarians. This is not the first. A similar instance occurred about a year ago where Abp. Nourhan was attacked during the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
