Newsweek ^ | 4/15/19 | TOM O'CONNOR

A fire broke out at the revered Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem just as flames ravaged the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Footage showing smoke and fire emerging from the roof of a structure known as the Marwani Prayer Room, or Solomon's Stables, could be seen on social media. The Palestine News Agency, the official outlet of the Palestinian National Authority, cited a guard as saying Monday that "the fire broke out in the guard's room outside the roof of the Marwani Prayer Room, and the fire brigade of the Islamic Waqf handled the matter successfully."

Atheists are against Islam and Christianity. Just sayin’. Not an accusation.

The Lord allowing the destruction of forms of religion that He detests???

Seems quite odd that the blaze erupted in the guard’s room.

No coincidences at this level. Gibbs rule #39.

I thought they only carried flamethrowers.

I think you’d have to say we’re all being set up.

The timing of the two suggest it’s probably not retaliation, but more likely, an incendiary incitement to our next global conflagration of mutually assured destruction.

This reminds one of a Star Trek episode where some would-be “deity” tried to incite Klingon and human (IIRC) against one another. Once Kirk figured it out and shared his idea with his Klingon counterpart, they threw down their arms and laughed at their antagonist, who became so enraged he essentially went *poof* in humiliation.

Then peace filled the galaxy as the name GENE RODDENBERRY filled the screen.

Part of the post-Y1K "Thanks Be Unto God" (for not ending the world at the turn of the millennium) cathedral-building spree, no doubt.

Juuuuust as Our Betters as trying to get us all geared up for a $uper expensive war in the middle east again, fires simultaneously break out in Paris and Israel, huh..?

Yes, I would say that’s deeeefinately suspicious.

In fact, I’d say it’s even MORE suspicious than most here think it is:

I get it.

Let's see... who would want two of the world's largest religions to obliterate one another?

Seems very Marx/Lenin to me.

Maybe it was the Red Heifer kicking over a lantern in Mrs. O’Lerary’s barn?

Ah, with your name, I’d have thought for sure that you’d realize that the Mosque was older—and the Islamic dating system would not recognize Y1K.

Notre Dame is a 125 years younger.

Maybe it was the evil Jews and they were looking for children to kill to make their evil matzoh. And it was Trump.
