     On the Palm Sunday of Graham's visit, as Turkish soldiers beat back the pilgrims, the crowds poured out of the Church to 'much shrieking and skirling from the Orthodox Arabs, crying out in religious frenzy' until suddenly they were a attacked by 'a band of redcapped Turks and beturbaned Muslims who made a loud whoop and struck their way with blows, threw themselves on the bearer of the olive branch and gained possession, broke the branch to bits and ran off. An American girl snapped her Kodak. The Christian Arabs swore vengeance.'
