Any rebuilding should be a reflection not of an old France, or the France that never was — a non-secular, white European France — but a reflection of the France of today, a France that is currently in the making. .

So why not burn all the cathedrals down and build Mosques? That would reflect the France of today, a France that is currently in the making. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wants to learn through history. They want to believe in a utopia created in the minds of people averse to reality. Try to replicate what was, for future generations to see. Not create what you think will overwrite history into something that never was, or will be. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would find fault with it and want to tear it down just like the Confederate memorials in this country. It doesn't matter what race or weird form of CommieDemDuh they are - they will find fault with anything they believe is conservative in form or format.

Dric902 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Yellow Vest protestors in Paris battled police during violent clashes Saturday -- newly enraged at the more than billion dollars that have been pledged to rebuild fire-damaged Notre Dame Cathedral, overshadowing their anti-wealth cause. Black-hooded demonstrators set fire to trash cans, scooters and a car and pelted police with rocks to draw attention anew to their 23rd weekend of protest. Many protesters are frustrated that the international effort to help Notre Dame has drawn more attention than their five-month-old Yellow Vest movement against wealth inequality, The Associated Press reported. https://www.foxnews.com/us/france-yellow-vest-protest-notre-dame . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
