There are attacks on Churches every day in France, every one knows who is doing it but the news never tells

There was clear evidence of someone on the roof at Notre dame starting the fire on CCTV (which came to nothing). Wonder if anything will be revealed here.

It is a terrible act.  Bit of cemetery desecration near hear a while back.  Head stones and memorials broken.

When a Mosque catches fire there are days of reports and the declaration of a hate crime to follow. Churches just a "accident"  because of faulty something or another .. France: Muslim screamed ‘Allahu akbar’ while stabbing elderly Jewish woman to death, setting her body on fire
Quote:Jul 17, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 22 Comments
This recalls the establishment media’s full-court press a few years ago to convince Americans that “Allahu akbar” was a benign phrase that only greasy Islamophobes could possibly be concerned about.
In the New York Daily News, Zainab Chaudry of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) argued that non-Muslims shouldn’t “believe the worst” about “Allahu akbar” because Muslims don’t just scream it while murdering non-Muslims, but use it in a variety of contexts. She even offered this chilling advice, certain to get people killed were it ever heeded: “So the next time you hear Allahu Akbar — whether it’s in a media report, on an airplane, or in a shopping mall, remember that the phrase used by millions of Muslims and Christians daily to praise God regardless of their circumstances, can never be justified for use when harming His creation.” So stay put, evidently; fleeing would be “Islamophobic.”
On CNN, Omar Suleiman — the imam who prevailed upon Google to alter their search results so as to bury any negative information about Islam — also argued that Muslims say “Allahu akbar” in a variety of contexts, many of them positive. And the New York Times actually tweeted that the phrase “Allahu akbar” had “somehow” become “intertwined with terrorism.”
Somehow! How could this have possibly happened? Could it have anything to do with the thousands of Muslims who have screamed “Allahu akbar” while in the process of murdering or trying to murder infidels?

“Two men to stand trial in France for killing of Jewish woman, 85,” Agence-France Presse, July 13, 2020:
Quote:French judges have ordered two men to stand trial for the brutal 2018 killing of an elderly Jewish woman that prompted an outcry over a rise in antisemitic acts.
Mireille Knoll, 85 and suffering from Parkinson’s disease, was stabbed in her Paris apartment by attackers who later set her body on fire, apparently to hide evidence of their crime.
She had escaped the mass deportation of Jews from France during the second world war by fleeing abroad.
A longtime neighbour, Yacine Mihoub, and associate Alexandre Carrimbacus were arrested on charges of murder and aggravated robbery, though prosecutors did not initially characterise the killing as antisemitic.
Under questioning, Carrimbacus accused Mihoub of shouting “Allahu akbar” (God is greatest) while stabbing Knoll and of justifying the attack by saying: “Jews have money.”
The revelations outraged France’s Jewish community, which called it the latest in a series of increasingly brazen antisemitic acts, including violence and desecrations of Jewish cemeteries….

Fire is apparently out now.  The church lost some stained glass windows and a 600-year old organ.

Quote:PARIS (Reuters) - A 39-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a fire in the 15th century cathedral in the French city of Nantes that blew out stained glass windows and destroyed the grand organ, TV channel LCI reported on Sunday.
The man, a Rwandan refugee, worked as a volunteer for the cathedral and had been in charge of locking up the building on Friday night, LCI said, citing prosecutor Pierre Sennes.

Sennes said the man in custody was being held to clear up inconsistencies in his schedule.
He said on Saturday that three fires had been started at the site and that there had been no signs of a break-in. Authorities said an investigation for suspected arson had been opened.

The blaze began on Saturday morning, engulfing the inside of the Gothic structure in flames. Firefighters brought it under control after several hours and extinguished it completely by the afternoon.
It happened just over a year after a fire at the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris which destroyed its roof and main spire.

Whoa there Beez, the BBC saw that word 'volunteer' and decided to use it for other means.

This article below implies (to me anyway!) that the person 'volunteered' to approach the Police due
to his position in the construction project, not that he was a volunteer with the project.
It's subtle, but it's there.


Quote:Nantes cathedral fire: Questioned volunteer released without charge.

'A volunteer detained for questioning over a fire at the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral in Nantes
has been released without charge. The blaze tore through the cathedral early on Saturday morning,
destroying stained glass windows and the grand organ inside.

The detained Rwandan refugee, 39, was in charge of locking up the building the day before the fire.
The Nantes public prosecutor said the man was freed on Sunday evening.

Pierres Sennès said the authorities had wanted to clear up any inconsistencies and that the questioning was
a "normal procedure". The volunteer has not been named.

Mr Sennès said the fire is believed to have been arson. Three fires were started at the site and an investigation
is now under way. Quentin Chabert, the lawyer for the refugee, said at the time of detention there was "nothing at
this stage to link my client to the fire" and that the investigation must go on "with respect for everyone's rights and
in particular those of my client".

Jean-Charles Nowak, a clerk at the cathedral, told French newspaper Le Figaro the volunteer was "a man of duty"
who had "suffered a lot in Rwanda" - a country he left several years ago. The refugee had been discussing extending
his visa with local officials, he said.

"I don't believe for a second that he could have set the cathedral on fire. It's a place he adores," Mr Nowak said.
About 100 firefighters managed to stop the flames from destroying the main structure at the cathedral on Saturday.
French Prime Minister Jean Castex praised their "professionalism, courage and self-control".

The fire comes over a year after a blaze nearly destroyed Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.
Earlier this month, French President Emmanuel Macron announced its iconic spire would be rebuilt exactly as it was,
ending speculation it would be changed to a more modern style...'

Fire bugs.  They were far more prevalent when I was younger.  Gotta wonder how 'they' put a stop to all that?

I was chatting with @"Bally002" ... not realizing he was affected by all those fires 'down under'.  Disturbing stuff indeed.
