Priest burns himself in protest of Islam’s fast spread in the world

[AvarAllahNoor]

Thats right. Whats the point of the amount when some of them are just going further away....

Hear Hear! - It should be 'quality' and not 'quantity' most belong to cults or sects that follow silly rituals.

Peep this:



:grumbling :grumbling :grumbling :grumbling

I am not surprised because the germans are faimous for the corps art-which is more than the profanation of deads. We can realise they are searching an easy way to increase their incomes.

 

[Malaikah]

How do they know it was because of the growing number of Muslims that he did this to himself?

This is very strange indeed...

 

[Umar001]

If you read the second source posted by snake it gives a clue there.

The Provost of Erfurt, Elfriede Begrich, told reporters that Weisselberg’s widow had said that he killed himself because he was alarmed at the spread of Islam and the Church’s stance on the issue.

She described Weisselberg as an erudite man who had addressed repeatedly the Church’s position on Islam in meetings over the past three to four years. He had written to her, urging her to take the matter more seriously, she said.

thanks.

hmmm... interesting.. i wonder what that means exactly...

 

[Somalina]

~~Salaam~~

**he was alarmed at the spread of Islam and the Church’s stance on the issue**

According to himThe church should have done something about the spread about islam:?

for someone his age,who's seen a lot,it's sad that he ended his life that way,self destruction is no solution..

*Islam is God's religion* The only true path...
*May Allah SWT Guide the muslim Ummah and Protect them*
Ameen

 

[Umm Khalid06]

so did he burn himself because of islam spreading so fastthat is not a reason to kill him self or maybe he was Depressed for some reason and people though it was Islam because he hated it so much:?

 

[Zulkiflim]

Salaam,

It is always sad when a person of what ever calibre or standing lose himself to despair.

I guess that it is becasue he was losing faith in his own religion.

I guess for him number means that a religon is right.

I guess for him maybe the richer a person is the more they are right or blessed.

Astarfillah,muslim in the world face the same dificulties.

I have encoutnered many muslim who fell into despair saying,we are follwing the true religon,but why does Allah not aid us?

I always say to them,read the quran the answer is there.
We are servant ,this is a test,if you seek grandues and seek to be right just becasue you are muslim,then pray tell,how come the Prophet Muhammad saw suffered great suffering and pain.
Why did his beloved wife die,and his sons all die?

Did he fall out of faith?


Sad sad sad,,do not let it overcome the true light.

 

[north_malaysian]

What a ridiculous chap.... I think he has mental disturbance.... even ... IF the whole population being Muslims.... to kill himself because of it is the most ridiculous reason to commit suicide ... let alone to burn himself...

What he achieved - NOTHING.

 

[Snowflake]

She meant that Islam can't be presently outtaken by its present increase in its converts/reversions.

That's exactly what I meant.

But only Allah knows his real reasons. Even though the rapid spread of Islam must've been very depressing for a man dedicated to spreading christianity, it still doesn't seem a reason to commit suicide. What a trajic way to end one's life, regardless of the reason.

 

[stannis]

He was protesting the spread of Islamic culture to Christian Europe. He fears that it may undermine the traditional European culture that has been the bedrock of this continent for centuries. Whether you agree with him or not, I hope no Muslim is so cruel as to celebrate his death. It was an act of desperation.

 

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

"Allah showed me all corners of the earth.I saw its East and its West, and i saw that my Ummah will possess of it what He showed me from it."

Come on, their is better way to protest than setting yourself on fire.
We are not celebrating his death. Just bit shocking (if the story is true).

 

[stannis]

True, there are better ways to protest.

But as Jan Palach in Czechoslovakia and Buddhist monks in Vietnam have proven, it tends to get your attention...

 

[Muezzin]

General notice - laughing at a person's suicide is not befitting of a human being, and any posts that I or another moderator deem to be of this nature will be deleted.

 

[north_malaysian]

It's prohibited to celebrate people's death...

 

[Skillganon]

It's prohibited to celebrate people's death...

I guess that is why we don't have a party after a funeral. :?

Sad news but theres great lessons from it, masha Allah.

1. A priest is a call for someone who have a lot of knowledges in Christian, a priest is an ulama/scholar for Christian -wallahu yahdih-. So Im wondering where is his knowledges by burnt his self with fire? Isnt this is a sign that being Christian is batil and knowledges from the bibble CANT do anything good to the believers it self? :rollseyes

2. A priest is a scholar to Christian people, just like Ulama for muslims. And muslims should follow every fatawa from their ulama (salaf) as hard as they can. And the more they can practise Islam by the explanation and the practises of their ulama then its better. So...an ulama is also an idol/modle/an example in Islam, cause the scholars in Islam is them who afraid Allah most, like Quran said that the most human who fear Allah is al Ulama, so the ulama in Islam is them who will practise Islamic teaching in their lifes, and the people will follow what they do, cause what they do is Islam and it will never can be separated. So...can the Christian do the same now? Can they burn them self to follow their scholars? :uuh: Or at least to show the simpathy, just burn tiny part of their finger :uhwhat NO they wont do that ALTHOUGH they still call all priest who done sins (suicide, rapes, homosexuals etc) as their priests. Wallahul mustaan.

3. The right religion, will not teach the believers this kinda acts.And especially Islam have forbid muslims to do a suicide, its a big sins. And especially the scholars, theyre the people who fear Allah most, so its IMPOSSIBLE the scholars or even ustadh of Islam (who understand ISlam in the right way) doing suicide, Allahu A'lam.

4. The older of our Islamic scholars will be, then their mind wont go weaker. Opposite, their mind get sharper than before. They dont know the word "retired" cause all muslims need them, and as we know Islam says "the time is like a sword", and every little time we have in our life will be asked by Allah Azza wa jalla, so they want their time used to serve the islamic society,thats ulama in Islam. They dont want to retire and its a shame for them if they do that.
And they have remembered thousands of hadiths and whole Quranic verses, and its still in their braind till they die. Now, first tell me, who is the Christians scholars who remember whoooole bible? And how these Christian scholars dead? Even Paus Paulus who just dead months ago dead in terrible condition ffended:. So isnt it the prove that Islam is the LIGHT that will make the holder have respectfull life? And someone who remember Quran, and practise them and sunnah, then Allah will protect them and take care of them best. Cause they always say dua "Allahumma inni audhubika minal ajzi wal kasali, wal jubni wal bukhli".

5. Its a sign that Christian doesnt have a fix law on someone who do suicide. And if they do, then how can their own scholars do this? Amazing.

Maybe you guys can tell us another hikmah about this news insha Allah

Greetings Dhulqarnaeen

Do you really think the actions of one man (even if he was a cleric) can be taken as evidence for the teachings and validity of an entire faith??? :?

Do you think there may be examples of other religious leaders in this world, who go off the railings and commit acts contrary to the teachings of their religion? If so, does that deem all those religions false?
Could it be possible that even imams may err and do wrong? Or is that impossible in your view?

Peace
