Retired priest sets himself alight
A retired German clergyman who set fire to himself apparently in protest over the spread of Islam, has died in hospital, a Church spokesman said.
Roland Weisselberg, 73, doused himself with petrol and set himself on fire outside a monastery in Erfurt in central Germany on Tuesday - a national holiday in parts of the country to celebrate the Protestant reformation.
He was taken to hospital with severe burns and died, said Oliver Vorwald, a spokesman for the evangelical church association of the Saxony region.
Vorwald said the bishop for the Erfurt region, Elfriede Begrich, was told by Weisselberg's widow that the priest left a suicide note in which he expressed concern about the spread of Islam in Germany and the Church's attitude towards it.

I cannot imagine the depth of feeling this man must have had, I am reminded of Jan Pallac the young Czech student who burned himsef alive in Prague at the time of the Russian invasion, when I visited Prague and stood in front of the small immaculately kep shrine of rememberance, I could not imagine the pain he must have endured before transpiring and death was his release.
It must have been the same for Roland Weisselberg.
To make such an enormous sacrifice for something you believe in is beyond comprehension to most people.
I hope this man is not forgotten, I hope the politicians and so called leaders of the west take note
this mans supreme sacrifice must not be in vain.................Gandalf- Swedish Bishop Wants To Remove Crosses From Church And Mark Direction Of Mecca To Make It More Inviting For Muslims
