The funeral will take place today.

Pastor Sieghard Wilm’s Protestant church is the same which hit headlines in 2013 after stripping out the pews and converting the nave into a migrant centre for newcomers from Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, and the Ivory Coast, according to a Deutsche Welle report at the time. The sub-Saharan Africans were economic migrants to Libya living as guest workers, but fled north to Europe rather than south to their own homes when the civil war broke out.

Has the pastor converted to Islam?

How many of his prior congregation have stuck with him?

The government was probably paying him a lot more to host the refugees than his dwindling congregation was dropping into the collection plate.

He'll probably get beheaded by a mob of "offended" muzzies. Angela Merkel will then set the perps up in state-paid seafront villas on the Baltic. Thanks detective.
