Well, that matches the general media behaviour, Muslims celebrate the Notre Dame burning online with messages and smiley faces.

Yet receives no media attention, in fact, that's not true Buzzfeed addressed it by calling it fake news.

If white Europeans reacted this way to an Islamic site burning it would be on the news.
 
There were like +1000 laughing reacts on the screenshot shared by the Jewish association, sure the names they had in the screenshot were Arab names but that could also be cherry picking, they didn’t seem to go to the trouble of collating all the names.
 
Who cares it’s literally irrelevent. Such pointless outrage and yall moan about the spoopy ‘left’, for being outraged out equally irrelevant events.

Let's be honest now, if it was a mosque that burnt down and there was a page with thousands of white people laughing at it, you'd be on here moaning about how disgusting right wingers are. :p

I think Africa has actually got WORSE since we started sending them cash. Before that they didn't have money to buy guns.

The reality is that money in Africa isn't funnelled to the most in need the same as it isn't funnelled to the most in need in any country you could name.

There is a thriving middle-class in Africa every bit as well-off as the middle class here.

And the leaders (+pals) drive fleets of Bentleys.

Globalisation has given birth to a middle class and an elite that is no longer located in any one country. It hasn't (and won't) reduce poverty. But poverty is now not so much a geographical concern - it's purely a class concern now. The whole world has its upper, middle and lower classes, the upper echelons of which are quite comparable the whole world over.

Now what I've been told/read is this: in places like India, Africa - to a large degree their middle classes really couldn't give a single toss about the poor in their own country.

Someone (I forget who) said that, "Charity is a scam which funnels money from lower-class Westerners to fund wealthy Africans." I'm not sure that's 100% correct but you can easily see how funds could be misused or wasted - once people donate how many of them bother to track the way the money is spent (if that information is even made available). It is said that by far the largest (numerically) group of donors tend to be people in western countries on fairly modest incomes themselves. The begging adverts on TV don't play to logic they attempt to use emotional blackmail. Personally I don't trust these charities anyhow. Nor their CEOs on 6-figure salaries. Charity is run like big business, and business doesn't have a "heart".
 
Has there been any comment from the Catholic church as to how much they are going to spend on the rebuilding work? They are one of the richest organisations in the world, surely they should be prepared to foot the bill instead of relying on donors, unless you know...insurance :p

The state owns it not the church

It's not insured and it's not owned by the church. It's property of the French state.
 
"Nicole, can you put an ad in the Catholic Weekly News? Yes, the family friendly edition, not the adult one. 'For sale: one cathedral, central Paris location. Iconic Catholic landmark, comes with history, some windows but unfortunately restricted access for those with disabilities, including hunchbacks. Property would benefit from some modernisation but is ready to be converted for open roof ceremonies if required. Available for immediate viewing - hard hat required.'"
