German Minister hates Muslims, kills self in protest

He committed suicide to protest Islam’s growing influence on a Christian continent that had lost its faith. Terrorism and strains from integrating a growing Muslim population have transformed Europe into a cultural battleground. Weisselberg, a slight, fidgety man with a penchant for quoting poetry, fretted that Christians had forgotten God while Muslims were increasingly devoted. But his act on that final day of October, more riddle than signpost, has left friends and colleagues mystified over its interpretation.

There has to be a better way to protest.  And I thought suicide was a sin?!
