| Horror in Germany: Vicar Sets Himself Alight to Protest Islamization of Europe |
| 2006-11-02 |
| On Tuesday a Lutheran vicar set himself alight in the German town of Erfurt. The 73 year old Roland Weisselberg poured gasoline over himself and set fire to himself in the Erfurt monastery, where Martin Luther took his monastic vows in 1505. Bystanders rushed to extinguish the flames. The man later died of his injuries. We understand, padre, but there were better ways. May you find the peace you could not find in life. In a farewell letter to his wife the vicar wrote that he was setting himself on fire to warn against the danger of the Islamization of Europe. During the past four years the vicar had frequently expressed his concern about the expansion of Islam, urging the Lutheran Church to take this issue seriously. As the fire started the vicar cried: “Jesus and Oskar!” Oskar Brüsewitz was a 47-year old German vicar who died after setting himself on fire 30 years ago, on 18 August 1976, in the market square of the German town of Zeitz in protest against the Communist regime in East Germany. Both Erfurt and Zeitz are situated in the former East German province of Saxony. Axel Noack, the Lutheran Bishop of Saxony, said he is shocked by the tragic event in Erfurt. Bishop Noack emphasized that the motive for the suicide complicates matters. He said he hopes that the affair and the question of how Christians should relate to Muslims will not lead to unrest. The Bishop emphasized that Christians reject a culture war. “Fear of other cultures is the result of our own insecurity,” he said, adding that since there are not many Muslims in what was once East Germany, there is not much of a debate about Islam there. This cowardly weasel of a Bishop should have been set alight instead. Last Saturday Mama Galledou, a 26-year old Senegalese medical student, suffered severe burns in an arson attack by Muslim thugs, a.k.a. “youths,” on a public transport bus in the French city of Marseille. Muslim thugs have torched eight buses in France during the past days. They hijack the vehicles and empty jerrycans of gasoline into them. Sometimes they allow the passengers to get off first, sometimes they do not. I wonder if Galledou's fear of Muslim thug culture is caused by insecurity? |

| #11 What happens when the reality of having to fight for life is completely diluded by utopian wishfulness? The instinct to attack outwardly in self-preservation morphs into an instinct to attack inwardly just to deny that reality; a being destroys its own life so that it will never have to choose attacking an aggressor. The aggressor survives. And the worser of two evils prevails. The era embracing martyrdom over self-preservation has formally begun in Europe. |

| #10 “Fear of other cultures is the result of our own insecurity,” Self-blame writ large. Let me know when the self-loathing begins. Is Noack completely unaware of what happened in Regensburg? Can he really be so stupid as to ignore the vital message that Weisselberg gave his very life to broadcast? Islam is out to abolish all other religions, so get a clue, everybody. While it is easy to project sloth and laziness upon the European Muslim community, Bright Pebbles may be closer to the truth. Muslims are simply making themselves a burden wherever they go in order to accelerate the collapse of their host cultures. America does not provide the featherbed lined safety net that socialist Europe does, so we just see less of it here. |

| #9 Unfortunately, our favorite muslim imams agree with the vicar -- they too think he should be set on fire. |

| #4 From my experience in London Muslims dont want to work using the veil as well as providing places to pray amongst reasons they cant work. The MCB said recently only 15% of muslim women work and blamed racism.I blame Muslim culture where women are encouraged to stay at home and breed as much as they can.I also blame the muslim culture of taking as much as you can ie benefits and offer nothing to the economy/community at large ie leeches!!!! If you were to look at immigration populations in the UK they must have the highest unemployment rate by far.This however is by choice the lazy feckers!!!! |

| #3 CC7867, that's absolutely correct. In addition to the welfare, "tolerance" (i.e., surrender) is also a big draw. Throw a tantrum, get what you want. Doesn't work that way in the east. You'll notice that "there are not many Muslims in what was once East Germany" -- which isn't so easy and free with its welfare money or its tolerance of foreigners. Subsidize and tolerate a problem = get more of it. |

| #2 Get rid of the welfare state and the cockroaches would flee. This is the reason they come to Europe. |

| #1 Tragic! Unfortunately, the Euro nanny state has bought - with debt funds - sufficient Socialist and Muslim support to keep the alliance going for a while. Perhaps a center-right majority would form if the Euros took an objective look at their belligerent Muslim class and compared Israel to the Palestine entity. Otherwise, the future doesn't look good. |
