26 women executed for being 'witches'

Well, I’d say it’s more that Africa is developmentally behind the rest of the world and thus still clings to religious superstition.

It wasn’t that terribly long ago in the grand scheme of history that we were doing exactly the same thing.
I agree that is part of the problem but there is also a long history of corruption in leadership.
 
Nope. You're just ignorant. Most of the hadiths came out of Persia 250 years after the death of Muhammed. Aisha was born before the Call. She was at least 19.

"A preponderance of classical sources converge on Aisha being six or seven years old at the time of her marriage, and nine at the consummation..."

Aisha - Wikipedia
 
America did the same thing some years ago and Republicans are hellbound to return us to that state.

You're twisted.
 
In 17th Century Salem, Massachusetts, American colonists accused more than 200 people of practicing witchcraft. Twenty were condemned to execution.

At the time, witchcraft – defined by English law as using magical powers bestowed by the devil, according to the New England School of Law – was a felony offense. Mary Beth Norton, a Cornell University professor and author of “In the Devil’s Snare: The Salem Witch Trials of 1692,” confirmed that no witches were burned at the stake in North America or in England; they were hanged.

You do remember that don't you?
Nope, that was before my time. Are you some kind of immortal witch that remembers it?

How did they not get you?
