Priest sets himself alight [View All]

[Kellanved]

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.

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.
