How many "Witches" were burned for Christianity?

I am a Christian and a Conservative, I however do not blame all of Christianity, now and forever, for all the thousands of women that were killed in God's name back then, nor do I think that all Christians back then were doomed to hell and should have been slaughtered for the transgreshions of those that did evil in His Name.

When was the last time a witch was burned at the stake in this country? 300 years ago or so?

When was the last beheading, just (as before) to further the comparison?

When a Christian says "Kill all who do not convert!", other Christians can say "That command is not in our Holy Scriptures!"

When a Muslim says "Kill all who do not convert!", other Muslims keep their mouths shut, because that is exactly what is in their Holy Scriptures.

A moderate Muslim is one who does not take the Koran seriously. They will be killed as apostates soon after the infidels are killed in the minds of those who take the Koran seriously.

The base reason for Osama bin Laden wanting to kill us is not because of a personal grudge, a political slight, or a deranged sense of paranoia. The base reason is that he believes in Islam and he has seriously studied Islam and Islam commands our death.
