BBC NEWS | Africa | ‘Witches’ burnt to death in Kenya — Good to see somebody is keeping up with traditions from the 1600’s.
Eleven elderly people accused of being witches have been burned to death by a mob in the west of Kenya, police say. The BBC’s Muliro Telewa in the region says the gang had a list of the victims and picked them out individually.
The area has witnessed similar attacks in the past when people suspected of engaging in witchcraft have been killed or ostracised.
Anthony Kibunguchy, the provincial police officer, told the BBC that the eight women and three men were all aged between 80 and 96 years old.
Uneducated people are dumb!
Superstitions, belief in witch doctors and magic. Will never end with good or rational consequences.
Olde time religion should work in every progressive country.
Maybe they saw too many re-runs of Bewitched. Can anybody tell me what the hell comes out of Africa thats ever good news.

I think prince gwanabuubuo has married his 17th wife and had his 43rd son… Thats good news~! (I think)
It is shocking news. And a great opportunity to denegrate all black Africans in a single headline.
Seems like a convenient way to get rid of the elderly.
And the problem with this??
No worries, the US is going that direction just as fast as it can.

Hehehe… ever see Jesus Camp?
Jesus Camp is the most frightening movie I’ve ever seen!
Now I know where to send my Ex girlfrend
I think that atheists should be more tolerant of those who hold onto superstitions. Burning witches just because they have strange beliefs is not good. I hope they catch Richard Dawkins and put him in jail for this evil crime! Looks like they’ve been reading http://humanist-news.blogspot.com

NO ONE expects the African Inquisition!
Now, for the comfy chair!

Again, those clever dudes in organized religion invented the ritual but failed to copyright it.
The only good thing that came out if it is that Salem, Massachusetts has a small tourist industry.
At least none of these “witches” are running for President.
Boom shakalakalaka boom shakalakalaka boom shakalakalaka boom!
We should send marshmallows.
One more reason why Evangelics are so envious of the muslims.
Angel, I think you’ll find that’s ‘evangelicals’.
Bless.
They burned the witches??? The effen Utah based ‘tards. Don’t they know that slow roasting brings out the flavor and helps tenderize those stringy old folks.
