Jihadis share a menacing image of Notre Dame in flames once more. Paris investigators believe the Notre Dame fire was an accident — the evidence says differently here.
1) Restoration work hadn’t started on the roof. The scaffolding were still being put in place. The architect in chief of the “Monuments Historiques” (“Historical Monuments”, the administration that maintains and repairs monuments in France), Philippe Villeneuve, who was responsible for the refurbishing of the spire of Notre-Dame, has stated that : “Work had not started yet, scaffoldings were still being built”.
2) Everything was done to avoid any source of heat near the wood of the roof. No electrical plug, no welding were allowed. So, Philippe Villeneuve says : “The hot spot hypothesis is therefore not the right one”.

3) The head of the company that was building the scaffoldings (Europe Echafaudage) (Europe Scaffolding), Julien Le Bras, was interviewed by a French TV (BFM) : “All I can say for the time being is that at the moment of the fire, absolutely none of the employees of my company was present on site”.
4) He added : “All safety procedures on the Notre-Dame de Paris site have been respected”.
5) One of my friend sent me an email concerning the security on the roof of Notre-Dame. She has a diploma in Art history and studied in the “Ecole du Louvre” (“Louvre School”, were students learn art history and restoration processes) : “I visited the framing of Notre Dame with architects of the “Bâtiments de France” (“Buildings of France”, the highest rank for an architect in France), some years ago. This 13th century timber frame was extremely protected. Each intervention is always accompanied by historians, architects, experts; no work is envisaged without extreme caution; no source of heat, no torch, no electrical apparatus is allowed; a high-performance alarm system is in place; and very strict supervision of all people allowed there. I think we will eventually learn that this was arson.”
6) So, as I said yesterday, with all these security measures, to have a fire on the roof of Notre-Dame, someone had to bring something there, and lit it up
ISIS warns of a future attack on fire-ravaged Notre Dame in online poster depicting the cathedral up in flames once more
A jihadist media group published the image next to a warning: ‘Wait for the next’
Paris investigators believe the Notre Dame fire was an accident, not an attack
But ISIS extremists have revelled in the damage to a symbol of Western culture
Jihadists linked to ISIS have shared a menacing image of Notre Dame in flames once more, warning: ‘Wait for the next’.
The extremist media group published the graphic showing flames in front of the Paris cathedral’s bell towers, which survived Monday’s blaze.
There is no indication that the fire was linked to terror but ISIS fanatics have revelled in the damage to the 850-year-old landmark, a symbol of Western civilisation, just days before Easter.
The latest image, revealed by terror monitors SITE intelligence, hints at a possible deliberate attack by ISIS-aligned militants in the future.
The burning Notre Dame on Monday evening

Al-Munatsir has previously shared propaganda rejoicing in terror attacks which have rocked France.
This poster created by the Al-Muntasir media group – an ISIS affiliated propaganda wing – appeared online on Monday night
The Paris prosecutor’s office said it was treating the fire as an accident, ruling out arson and possible terror-related motives, at least for now.
Notre Dame had previously the site of a terror scare in 2016 when a car carrying seven gas cylinders was found near the cathedral.
Three women were arrested over the alleged terror plot, although they were thought to have been targeting a Paris railway station rather than the cathedral itself.
Fifty investigators are now working on a ‘long’ and ‘complex’ probe into the cause, Paris prosecutor Remy Heitz told reporters.
A Paris judicial official said investigators have questioned about 30 people after the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral.
He said most of them were employees working on the renovation of the monument, including the now-collapsed spire.
As many as 50 investigators are working on the case but are not allowed to enter the cathedral yet for safety reasons, he said.
The tragedy prompted an outpouring of support internationally, with the Queen saying she was ‘deeply saddened’ and Pope Francis offering his prayers.
Teams of firefighters from across the city were called in to try and put out the fire after it spread quickly through the cathedral on Monday evening

Huge sums have been pledged to repair the beloved Paris landmark, which President Emmanuel Macron has set a target of five years to finish.
He said France ‘will rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral even more beautifully’ as he addressed the nation little more than 24 hours after the devastating fire.
Notre Dame’s heritage director has said only one piece of architecture inside the sacred building has been damaged.
Laurent Prades says the high altar, which was installed in 1989, was hit and harmed by the cathedral’s spire when it came crashing down in the flames.
‘We have been able to salvage all the rest,’ said Mr Prades, who witnessed the recovery first hand overnight.
‘All the 18th century steles, the pietas, frescoes, chapels and the big organ are fine.’

One of the cathedral’s most precious objects, a relic purported to be the crown of thorns worn by Jesus Christ on the cross, was whisked away to a secure facility.
Jean-Marc Fournier, chaplain of the Paris Fire Brigade, was hailed as a hero after he joined firefighters in the burning cathedral to rescue the holy relic.
He had also helped the wounded in the wake of the Bataclan terror attack in Paris in November 2015.
Notre Dame’s three ‘irreplaceable’ Rose Windows, which date to the 13th century and were feared to have melted or exploded, were also intact.
Father Fournier had also survived an ambush in Afghanistan, in which 10 soldiers were killed, during his time as an army chaplain.

Auric Goldfinger, in the Ian Fleming novel, dryly observes to James Bond
that “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s
enemy action.” Authorities say that it was not arsen or terrorist plot even before the flames had reached maximum burn. Are the people fools?
No, they are not fools. They fear a backlash and are desperate to cover it up. The EU Elections are in about 4 weeks and the Elites fear they may be crushed by Salvini and Orban and others who want the Muslims expelled from Europe in mass, and Muslim terrorists targeting of the second greatest church in Christendom will cause many undecided to side with the populist/nationalists that have vowed to oust Merkel,Macron and the Brussels tyrants.
Something worse will happen if this is not addressed. Consider the Cathedral to be a harbinger of something nastier.
Muslims are testing you. They did the same thing to us.
February 26, 1993, the World Trade Center truck bomb detonated in the North Tower in NYC. Bill Clinton was President.
October 12,, 2001 the USS Cole Navy guided missile destroyer was attacked while being refueled in Yemen’s Aden harbor, Bill Clinton was President.
September 11, 2001 Word Trade Center Towers fell. GWB was President.
Catlady, thanks. I just wasn’t sure of the date of the USS Cole explosion. I thought it was before 911. Wasn’t clear on it being in Clinton admin. Thanks, again….

Threats are coming off Twitter about another symbolic church which will face destruction. Not Notre Dame. Whilst not named, St Paul’s Cathedral comes to mind.
It sure looks like a nameless man wanted to light up St Patrick’s Cathedral, NYC.
Do you normally bring gas and lighters to church?)
Man caught with 2 gas cans entering St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC, police say
By Danielle Wallace, Stephen Sorace, Nicole Darrah | Fox News

…
A man (By any chance was his name Mohammad?) ) was taken into custody in New York Wednesday night after entering St. Patrick’s Cathedral carrying two canisters of gasoline, two bottles of lighter fluid and two butane lighters, authorities said.
The man, whose identity will be released once he is formally charged, was stopped by a cathedral security officer, New York City Police said. The man turned around, spilling some gasoline, and walked south onto Fifth Avenue and over to 50th street.
Cathedral security notified two Critical Response Command (CRC) officers– part of a
“striker team”– outside the cathedral.
Investigators said the man was cooperative but acted evasively and offered police inconsistent with some answers. He told officers that he was “cutting through the cathedral to get to Madison Avenue” and that “his car ran out of gas,” police said. But when police checked the man’s minivan, it’s gas tank wasn’t empty.

They will never tell us the truth for fear of creating a Crusader-type situation. But most French people know to what group the arsonists belong to.

Hmmmm…. looks like necessary precautions were taken. Wasn’t there a security guard present 24/7? No cameras running during off hours?
Kind of strange how Pamela’s FB page was taken down just prior to the attack. As long as there is a deep state there will be ISIS. The same deep state AKA globalists that is covering up for Trudeau is covering up for ISIS.

They will NEVER admit to arson…even if there was absolute proof. The most likely suspects would be Muslims. No one is supposed to bad-mouth Muslims or Islam in Europe even as Europe is destroyed at the hands of Muslims—that would be “racist” and “Islamophobic.” (Neat trick, huh?…to have Europeans prohibited from even criticizing their enemies by eliminating critics w/ silver bullet words like “racist” and “Islamophobe.”) Islam has been invading countries by force and hijrah for 1400 years. The European Commies (Soros, et. al.) collaborate w/ Islam because they both hate Western Civilization, Christianity and Jews.

The only good that can emerge from this horrific tragedy is that voters throughout Europe will come out in mass and support Matteo Salvini Marina Le Pen, Orban, Farage and others who have vowed to stop Islamic invasion of Europe. The elections are in about 3 weeks and the elites will do everything in their power to cover up this terrorist attack on the second most important church in Christendom.

The claim that work had not started yet is a lie based on the fake news website Fdescouche:
