Why didn't these guys display a little of this energy when the filthy terrorists occupied and desecrated the place a while back?

Good question! Maybe it ain't as holy as they would like us to think it is. I am sure the Holiest of Holies left these holy places a long time ago; the bickering gets a little tiresome.

It was the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem that was occupied by arafart's islamic hamas "crazies". To answer your more pertinant question, the hamas generally are well armed with AK 47's. The monks are not. When's the last time you took on an armed islamic psychopath bare knuckles.
