Quote:
At least seven Greek monks have been injured in clashes over a disputed monastery in Mount Athos.
Fighting broke out between rebel Esphigmenou monks occupying a monastery office and a rival group of legally-recognised monks.
Police said the fight - in which fire extinguishers and crowbars were used as weapons - left seven needing treatment.
The rebel monks, who oppose closer ties between the Orthodox Church and the Vatican, have ignored orders to leave.
Religious schism
The fighting happened at the Esphigmenou group's representative office in the town of Karyes in Mt Athos.

They should put signs outside churches (and mosques, temples etc).
