If you want to be Islamophobic do it on the poli-bored.
Because a few people do something does not mean you can paint an entire people.
I would guess you'd argue the reverse if a presented a situation where a few Christians acted tastelessly.
That cesspool is there for a reason -- for you to sound off.

The thing I remember about visiting Notre Dame is that there was a pedestrian kind of area nearby with children playing, inline skaters moving through a row of plastic cones and a general feeling of community to the scene. Made one remember that the great cathedrals were a part of a local community when they were being built by hundreds and thousands of workers over the years, not just the monumental places of veneration that we now see.
Perhaps we could just be grateful that it's one tragic scene we've been treated to on our TVs that didn't involve lots of deaths/injuries.

I very much enjoyed the three rose windows and had fun checking out all the gargoyles. I am so glad the rose windows were saved. I remember having a profound appreciation of the architecture, especially considering when the cathedral was built.
Re: Fire
Good point.
The reconstruction efforts in Paris will be fascinating to follow.
An article on CNN attempts a start on the process.

Re: Fire
If you really think about it - it wouldn't be so wrong to believe there are literally a billion or more deserving things/people of other's money than the restoration of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Oh well. Just gives people one more thing to bitch about. People like to bitch. It's their God given right and they often abuse it. Myself included.

Yeah NewtonHawk, either get your ass out there on I-35 and head North or stop your bitchin' because heaven forbid we live in a country that takes responsibility for supplying safe water for its citizens to drink, because rich people need a tax cut, and
