  1. No doubt, this was inspired by Erdogan’s converting the Hagia Sophia back into a mosque.

    Diversity is our strength, folks.

    1. Bingo, political Islam/jihad has a renewed Axis of Evil with the Chinese Communist Party.

      “The Clash of Civilizations”- Prof. Samuel Huntington, prescient for the 21st Century.

      Churches and religious statues attacked in the U.S. and Canada,too…

  2. Been there, just amazing to see this jewel. Truly tragic to see the decline of the West and the loss of these wonderful creations and we don’t seem to be bothered to fight back.

  3. I read the article quickly and I saw it described as a “criminal act” but not as a “hate crime”. I am waiting for an attack on a church to be called a hate crime.

    1. Why is it not a HATE CRIME when “vandals” topple and decapitate church statues of Christ? Why won’t “good Catholic” Nancy Pelosi call for those crimes to be labeled as HATE? Ohhh yeah … because HER Christian Faith is all about Loving Sinners. And boy does SHE love sinners. Loves em a whole bunch!

      And remember … there is no war on Christianity. That is all happening in the feeble minds of those who believe in a sky daddy … right?

      I always thought that fat-shaming was the LAST allowable discrimination. The last allowable mockery. Nope. Christ-shaming … is alive and well … and gathering in intensity.

  4. Visit the Chartres cathedral while you still can. It’s apparent that providing 24-7 security is too complicated.

  5. At least this time, (unlike Notre Dame) they did not “rule out arson”…. while the blaze was still going, before any fire inspector had set foot in the building.
    Good point about the hate crime, PHP2. Apparently hate crimes only apply to certain groups.

    1. “Church volunteer arrested for cathedral fire in Nantes” reads the headline at CBC.

      “The lawyer for a 39-year-old Rwandan refugee detained after a fire at the 15th-century cathedral in the French city of Nantes said nothing directly linked his client to the incident.” further into the CBC News article.

      Hmmm…

  6. I’m sure it has nothing to do with Islam. That kind of talk can get you arrested in Canada under our blasphemy laws.

    1. How do the pointy heads of canadian leftists reconcile the chinese abuse of Uighurs then?

  7. At some point, and this is inevitable on the current trajectory, some nuclear armed nation will have had enough of Muslim terrorism and just decide to put a permanent stop to it by bombing Mecca, Medina, and any other city important to Islam. And my money is on France.

    1. Ed M, I wish! Though truthfully, with a high Islamic population already in France, and the rest of Europe and the UK, I somehow doubt it. Don’t forget, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Jordon, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Iran, Turkey, Macedonia, plus a bunch of others as well as Saudi Arabia, are all Islamic countries! Pretty much half of the planet is Muslim. Most of the time they keep busy fighting each other, but if the West turned Mecca to glass, that could unite all those countries and and WW3 would be a religious war for all the marbles!
      It might come to that anyway. Plus we’d have all the western Do gooder SJW’s, even more irate than now.
      Damned if we do, and damned if we don’t rings loudly here.

      1. ED, Both India and Pakistan have the Nuke capability, that would be a short war, but it might turn on the WW3 switch as well. My thoughts tend to meander through the idea that the Islamic fundamentalists are nuts enough to throw that switch. As was said earlier, they hate this life and will happily hasten the end of it to meet their cadre of 72 virgins. They are not allowed to commit suicide, but can happily martyr themselves for Allah. The Iranians have an attachment to their side of the Islamic faith. They believe they need to hasten chaos to raise up what they call the 12th Madi, (presumably a descendant of Mohammed) to bring a final worldwide conflict to fruition. One of their past presidents, Armadinijab (spelling?) would always end his speeches with a short prayer mumbling something about hastening the reappearance of the 12th Madi, by praying for chaos to reign on the infidels. They’re all nuts as far as I’m concerned, and the sooner we stand up to them and rid our planet of these religious fundamentalists, the better. They hate us for simply existing, but we’re “racists and bigots” to even mention the idea of removing their ilk from the face of the earth!

        As I’ve said, I am a lifelong atheist, but I’m reminded of the old joke about some new arrivals in heaven getting a tour by St Peter. Everywhere they went, they were shown vast valley’s each with a hundred foot wall completely surrounding each valley. St Peter explained that each valley contained a different sect or religion, keeping each separated from the other, but they could visit one another in different valleys, the idea being that each group could practice their faith independently from the sects or religions in other walled valley’s. It was a very long tour, but eventually they arrived at the far side of heaven. There the group saw the last valley, but it was surrounded by a mile high wall. One of the tourists queried this, as all the others only had a hundred foot wall, so why was this one different? St Peter, put his finger to his lips and whispering, said, Shhh, this is the Islamic valley, they think they are the only ones here!

  8. Forget Nukes.
    We simply drop all terrorists,their family and enablers, we catch,dead or alive ,onto that sacred rock in Mecca.
    From 50 000 ft so they have time to praise Allah properly.

  9. Burn it. Scum bag Catholic Church conned life savings and tithes from poor people who were to scared to resist. Still a church full of weirdos creeps and commies. Burn.
