A RETIRED German clergyman who set fire to himself apparently in protest over the spread of Islam, died in hospital today, a Church spokesman said.

Roland Weisselberg, 73, doused himself with petrol and set himself on fire outside a monastery in Erfurt in central Germany yesterday - a national holiday in parts of the country to celebrate the Protestant reformation.

He was taken to hospital with severe burns and died today, said Oliver Vorwald, a spokesman for the evangelical church association of the Saxony region.

Mr 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.

Weisselberg retired in 1989 due to ill health.

Very sad. An old man suiciding over his mad fear of islam.

Shame he did this to himself.

-- all he had to do was simply accept and come to terms with the fact, that the 300 years old decline of Islamic countries that has given rise to Islamo-fascism, cultural & economic failure, and Islamo-terrorism: is now a permanent fixture of modern day life.

Most people in the West are coping and adapting quite well - and so too are our Special Forces who are on the hunt, the military, the police, as well as financial and legal institutions.

Didn't you ever have a Jean Grey kind of a day? I have.

Could be the start of a terrible trend, remember the buddist monks in South Vietnam.
