Apparently in Kenya, witch burnings are a thing, according to the BBC.

This is just further evidence of the danger of faith: it can justify anything.

It wasn't that long ago that Europeans were doing the same thing. King James himself burned lots of people alive. That's a mere blink of an eye compared to human history.
