Fun fact, St. Catherine's monastery was promised protection by Mohammed (the founder of Islam). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashtiname_of_Muhammad

Even the fundamentalists wouldn't go against the prophet himself...

ISIS would kill all these monks and burn the place down if given half a chance but then they would literally be going against the word of Muhammad if they did.
