    It won't take long before something like this will be the straw that breaks the camels back.

    Over a dozen Churches in France have been burned in 2019 alone, yet not one mosque was touched.

    It does not take a genius to work out who is responsible for this.

    I fear for France if those rumours are true.

    We need to take a deep breath and wait for the truth to emerge on this.

    Fingers crossed, it was started by a group for which I have an irrational hatred.

    But of course, if Muslims have done it, it's not a hate crime!!!
    If it were a mosque of course, all white people are racist sick pigs that should all be shot!!

    I'm sorry when you are quoting the Express you have lost all credibility unless your tongue is firmly in cheek.

    Was flicking between BBC News and RTE and didn't see any mention of it on RTE. I don't think it was even MENTIONED on the main headlines closing out at 7. Wonder why.

    And it doesn't take a genius to work out what kind of brain comes out with comments like that. Seriously man how much in your own bubble do you have to be to be like you?

    You're definitely not spreading these rumours on twitter through your many accounts are you?

    Terribly disappointing.

    One of the most incredible pieces of architecture in the world. Visited Paris 2 years ago and loved the place.

    Cornerstone set in 1163. Burned in 2019. A historic and tragic day.

    Absolutely tragic.

    The Notre Dame is undergoing a very extensive restoration at the moment. With a lot of welding, temporary electrics and probably cigarettes around this is unfortunately a risk and it could very well be that there's nothing sinister behind this fire but simple carelessness.

    Most likely some construction accident. Feel sorry for whatever workers might have made one tiny slip up that started a conflagration.

    Was on top of it about this time last year. So much wood around. Wooden stairs and holdings etc. I can see why it went up in a blaze. How could it happen though?

    Rumours on Twitter? You mean uninformed individuals jumping to a range of conclusions, right?

    Wow Twitter, Why wait for a full forensic investigation by trained, experienced Fire Engineers for the cause, when we have twitter.

    It lasted longer than normal. Those useless pondwaders probably blame muslims if they stub their toe in the morning. Pathetic adult children.

    A beautiful cathedral, very saddening. Hopefully not too much damage to the medieval sections and statues.
