Notre Dame fire follows months of arson, vandalism & desecration of French Catholic churches

While the world watched in horror at Paris’ historic Notre Dame Cathedral erupting in flames Monday, the fire is only the latest in a series of incidents that have left social media awash in images of heavily damaged churches. France has been hit with a string of fires at Catholic churches, some of which occurred alongside desecration of sacred objects and acts of vandalism. While the fire at Notre Dame appears to be an accident connected to renovations of the church, the image of the famous spire engulfed in flames is a hard hit on the historically deeply Catholic France, as well as Catholics all over who have seen their religion reeling from devastating scandals, cover-ups and attacks.

While Notre Dame is undoubtedly the most well-known landmark to be affected, Paris’ second largest church, Saint-Sulpice, briefly burst into flames on March 17, the fire damaging doors and stained glass windows on the building's exterior. Police later reported that the incident had not been an accident.

There were several moslem terrorists on the construction crew, doing menial tasks, who brought-in accelerants and remote igniters,

ROFLMAO!!! More likely it was indeed just an accident by the work crew involving welding equipment or some such thing.

But your theory is much more flamboyant so lets go with it..........LOL!

Send these French parishes a few “game cameras”, or, have they already captured the perps on video?

I’m sure that is next. One of the reports I heard said that most of the money to repair the church came from the US.

I heard report on Fox while driving home a few minutes ago reporting that it took Paris fire department TWO HOURS to respond to the fire. TWO HOURS!

As soon as I heard this I said these subhuman Muslims did this. If this is true the French people not the politicians should burn down all the mosques across the country and ship these Cretans and their offspring back to the sh##holes they came form

What do you think about the “preliminary investigation” already stating it was accidental? ...the fire isn’t even out yet.

The announcement is too fast. It’s indicative of trying to immediately quash unrest.

When have you know me NOT to go off half cocked? :)

It’s like you’ve been talking to a different me all these months :)

Though I agree with your rationale.

“Notre Dame fire follows months of arson, vandalism & desecration of French Catholic churches”

Meanwhile, Euroassholes like Macron are obsessed with the global warming hoax literally while their countries are being destroyed under their stupid noses by REAL threats.

The Muzz often have destroyed icons of rival (in their minds) religions. No respect for art, history, or traditions of other civilizations.
