Cleric Sets Himself on Fire

From Germany comes news that a cleric has set himself on fire. I'm embarrassed to say that when I first saw the headline, I assumed it was yet another instance of a mullah displaying his idiocy, and yet another instance of the Western media distorting the image of Muslims by picking on the one idiot mullah who sets himself on fire.

Then I read the story. Turns out it was a Christian cleric who set himself on fire. Apparently he was so incensed (heh) by the "spread of Islam" that he immolated himself yesterday, a day that is celebrated in some parts of Germany as a recognition of the Protestant Reformation. So here's more proof: they're ALL crazy.
