Woman burned alive for being a witch

[The3rdEye]

And the crow calls the raven black!!! A SHAMAN accused the woman of being a witch...teh feck?!

Wow, truly terrible.

"...set on fire by family members and others after a shaman allegedly accused her of casting a spell to make one of her relatives sick..."


Yeah, that caused me to stop short as well. You burned someone for being a witch... on the advise of another kind of witch? I can understand modern day 'hunts to one extent or another, however that just doesn't make any sense to me.

they didn't even see if she weighed the same as a duck

I'm just waiting for this to happen in America. Then we'll be able to say with complete seriousness: ''AMERICANS''.

Dont be ridiculous Americans would never burn anyone for being a witch. they do communists and black people!

And homosexuals, don't forget them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't that already happen in America? You know, the whole Salem witch trails and The Crucible.

True, but I was thinking of modern-day America.

Well her children got one million rupees, do you know how many Hyrulean shields you could buy with that shit?

12,500 in Ocarina of Time, 5000 in Twilight Princess

Well, to be fair, she was a witch, so it was coming.

...

No seriously though, thats terrible. But what can you do? Educate people I guess.

I think it did happen in America, cough Salem Witch trails cough cough. Mind you Europeans shouldn't throw stones over this...

Salem witch trials? No witches burnt.

Witchcraft was a capital crime - so they were hung, not burnt.

UK? Again, a few were burnt - most were hanged. Total? 228 (Although estimates are more around
300-1000: ever... That's all executions of women over the entire period.)

So yeah... more Americans have died in the Iraq War since Obama's inauguration that were ever executed as witches in the UK and US.

And very few were burnt.

I hope those responsible are burned at the stake themselves. They killed the woman right in front of her daughter.

**sigh**

Well, at least those responsible (her family?!) are being charged with murder. That's something, anyway.

It's Nepal. They're currently trying to establish a Communist Government. They had a Civil war for years and have only recently got out of it. Of course Extremists are gonna do crud like this. The important thing to remember, however, is that A majority of Religious people, don't do these things.

True, but it provides a convenient framework for people to do these kinds of things and then claim some kind of defense.

I'm sorry I don't follow. Communism is sparking up there so CLEARLY they burn witches? I don't see the connection

I recall a few instances where African and Arab immigrants did some equally ass-backwards s*** over in the states, it's not as exciting as it sounds.
