Most Muslims are not celebrating this fire. There are a segment of radicals who are, though.

And it's worth remembering that if a grand mosque somewhere in the world burnt down, most of you Trump supporters on here would be delighting in that too. There are radicals everywhere, and as many in this country as anywhere else.

The media has been saying they do not know how it started. Trump said it was from renovation.

It's not surprising Americans would assume that the church fire might have been 'terrorism'.

In a country where we see that kind of terrorism -- churches being burned -- why wouldn't people assume the worse.

Kind of sad for us. Not such a great reaction is it?

One of the foreign papers I read earlier stated they thought it was probably due to something going on with the renovation

Where is the "flying water tanker"? All I see is a helicopter with a bucket.

Here is a picture, since you are not familiar.

Sure. It seems obvious it was renovation.

You do know Paris is a hotbed for terrorism right? Maybe you weren’t born yet during the 2015 terrorist attacks that killed 137.

Anything that happens in Paris has the possibility of being a terrorist attack

I read something about the roof being LEAD covered? Perhaps they were re-heating/melting the lead for patching, and caused the fire?
