The high rise buildings look like a place called Cedex De Defense which is the business district of Paris. My company has a branch there and I visited it last year.

Is a building actually on fire?

Pope Piux IX was turned into a conservative (politically) by his experience with revolution. According to an essay on American Spectator (I believe), Pope Benedict was converted the same way, by revolutionaries at Leipzig shouting "Jesus be d...."

Maybe France will wake up. I wonder. Holland has already gone wussy-wussy, from what I read, even after Van Gogh's murder.

France has a 500 year history of using Islam as a wedge against Europe. Now Islam has given France a major wedgie.

I would love to see France bring out the heavy duty troops and deal with the rioters as members of a civil war: shoot to kill.

I can't believe the MSM continues to ignore this story.

We are watching the outbreak of World War III in Europe and the MSM is running around showing us pictures of Karl Rove getting into his car. The MSM needs to be absolutely and completely put out of business.

Where was this photo taken?

It reminds me of the church/cathedral whose name I cannot recall right now.

I've been there, I saw the name on another thread.

I know. I remember. But seeing the cloud of smoke coming up with the rest of the city in the foreground and considering it's the same cause: muslims, just yanked me back in time.

There is no such thing as news in American anymore, no news bureaus, no newspapers, reporters, nothing.

Only political operatives.

It time for a revolution.

The high rises are around the outer edge of the central districts Paris, sort of like DC. La Defense is by the loop road or Peripherique.

This can't be a live shot because it is dark still in Paris. Some warehouse was burning yesterday and this is probably it - from the Eiffel Tower webcam.

That was my first thought seeing all the highrises. Fun place to visit I thought.
