Monday's horrific fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris shocked viewers everywhere, as they witnessed the horrific destruction and collapse of its iconic spire, before firefighters were able to get it under control.
While many prominent figures tweeted concern for the cathedral sacred to over a billion Catholics across the globe, controversial Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) put out a bizarre tweet that rubbed many the wrong way.
"Art and architecture have a unique ability to help us connect across our differences and bring people together in important ways," posted Rep. Omar. "Thinking of the people of Paris and praying for every first responder trying to save this wonder."
Huh? "Art and architecture"?
Notre Dame is French for Our Lady and is a Catholic name for the Virgin Mary, Mother of God who gave birth to Jesus.
That Omar could not even bring herself to name the cathedral or even mention that it is a church, brought instant reaction online.

Maybe they can burn down the National Cathedral? What a monstrosity.
St. Germain des Pres was first built to serve as the Benedictine Abbey in the 6th century. So that probably counts as oldest in Paris, and that's roughly contemorary with Muhammad. But the stone structure that stands there today is a re-build dating from around 1000 AD.
But the really epic, astounding, blazing centuries of devotion and genius and massive cathedral-building --- Notre Dame was one of many, many cathedrals built in this era --- didn't begin until the late 11th century. This was the High Middle Ages.
I love the National Cathedral building!
It's what happens inside that is monstrous.
All those churches in France did not burn themselves.
All of Obama’s babes think alike.
Valerie Jarrett always reminds me of a lizard. She definitely has that reptilian look.
I’m surprised she didn’t say, “we pray that the hunchback gets out safely.”
She makes out like it’s a museum.
All mosques have in them are rugs.
I see no issue with this response from the stealth jihadist.
My FIRST thought upon hearing of the fire was the loss of centuries of the finest art in the world. My second thought was: Islamic terrorism?
The problem is that mooslimes aren’t of the left. She left the LEft in the dust so long ago that the left are running around like chicken little trying to catch up to her. It’s like she is the transgendered woman in a foot race against natural-born women. This ain’t a compliment by any means.
This terrorist POS needs to resign. If a mosque was burning in the small village of Southeast Podunk (population 10), she would blame Republicans or Conservatives or Trump...
No, that would be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez statement...
Imagine Omar’s reaction if the kabba in Mecca burned. She would be blaming the Jews for setting the fire and calling for vengeance. Contrast the reaction of the French who reacted to the Notre Dame fire were with grief, tears and prayers.
What are and architecture comes from Somalia??????
are meant to be art.
