One positive is this gives people all over social media an opportunity to post pictures of themselves in front of the cathedral from the time they visited.

Social media is full on narcissism

Why would a terrorist attack be setting an area of the church under construction on fire? I'm not a terrorism expert but that seems pretty far from their M.O.


They may not have been after killing anyone, just wanted to give a big frick you to Christians everywhere around the world.

Hell, it may not even be Islamic terrorism, but a historical arsonist that has a big beef with the Catholic Church. They’ve ruined thousands of lives and wanted to take out their crown jewel.

That the French police are covering up terror attacks? No I don't find it plausible



I respectfully disagree

Their government and officials lie their arse off to those people every day

There have been a lot of protesting over the years. The people are sick of it.

Hard to get bomb making supplies. Easier to get a can of gasoline and some matches.


Plus you’re not getting a bomb in that cathedral. You’d only be able to bomb the stone doors and kill a few dozen people.

Could be, and would be a big bargaining chip if this became a "thing" but it hasn't to date, at least outside of Islamist regime-held territory.

Maybe so, I'm just surprised at the amount of people in this thread that are dead set on it being a terrorist attack

It doesn't have to be terrorism, but you are grossly disregarding the chances of it being terrorism, and the reality in France especially in Paris.

I'm not dead set on the source of the fire either way, but arson is very plausible.

The least busy day of Holy Week makes me raise an eyebrow at least.

Anyone who dismisses large swaths of people as stupid people are usually idiots themselves, I find.

The person who thinks they're the smartest in the room usually isn't so.

are you denying that there are tons of dumb people around?

you don't have to be the smartest guy in the room to know that a lot of people are lucky to breathe and chew gum simultaneously.
