Erin Dunne, Washington Examiner: Yes, cry for Notre Dame
On Monday, the unthinkable happened: On a clear Paris evening, Notre Dame de Paris caught fire. The burning cathedral is one of the oldest buildings in the city of lights and an iconic testament to human art, architecture, and, above all, faith.

There have been many attacks on churches in France by liberals and Muslims.
Some attacks have resulted in deaths.
Any explanations that would serve the interests of the ruling class are suspect. If there were a large problem, they would not admit to it. It would make them look weak and make them vulnerable in the polls.
Can't prove anything one way or another, but given the number of previous attacks, an attack has to be considered. Attacks do not always have to be bombs or guns. When Notre Dame was attacked in the past gas cylinders were used.
