Why do I say that Islam is an evil religion?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Still there were similar witch-hunts in Europe etc. in which women were tortured, burned or thrown into lake. If these women drowned in the lakes, there were presumed to be innocent. If they didn’t, the devil was behind it and the woman had to be burned.
  What I am emphasizing is that these women were mostly picked for resorting to herbal remedies, looking a little weird or different, not being liked by their neighbors who were gossiping about them. Just to give the populace the chance of shouting “burn witch burn” on some “heretic” scapegoat.
And the same thing is happening today. They just pick people. Put them in jail for 5 days. Tell them they will be in trial for what they did so they cannot leave the country. I am saying that the behavior is basically the same. But I think everybody understood me

I don’t disagree with any of that. As I said, I was just nit-picking.

More nits:

-The overwhelming majority of people accused of witchery in New England were acquitted.

-The witch hysteria in (and around) Salem lasted about a year. The same phenomenon in Europe went on for centuries.

-In late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, many places had laws against accusing people of witchcraft.

-A few popes went so far as to declare the belief that witches existed was a sin.
