Before anyone dare to criticize sati, look at these killings of witches.
At least sati was volunteer not forced. I condemn all killings.

                                *                      last update: 11\15\90 
  
                    THE KILLINGS OF "WITCHES" 
 
The following are all documented incidents in the killings of
"witches."  ONLY incidents solely relating to witchcraft accusations
have been included. Bear in mind that this is probably NOT all of
them. Some were guilty. Most were probably innocent. Some were
Satanists, others were not. Some were just senile. ALL on this list
died as a result of a witchcraft accusation.

               for a total of 236,870 (unknowns listed) 

        Frank Donovan says: "Several modern writers claim that 9,000,000 
people met their deaths during the witchcraft persecution but offer no valid 
statistical records to support this estimate. On the other end of the scale is 
the 'educated guess' of R.H.Robbins and others that the total may have been 
about 200,000. Contemporary records are spotty and incomplete. Many deaths 
were probably never recorded and other archives have been lost thru time." It
is this writer's opinion that - one-half million - executed is a reasonable 
estimated total.   
 
                ******************************************
 
        I am compiling a listing of Protestants killed by Catholics, and a  
listing of Protestants killed by Catholics. Contributions to all these lists 
are solicited. The rules are: 
 
        1) You must have the NAME of the person killed. If all that is known 
           is HOW MANY were killed, this will be acceptable. 
        2) You must have a DATE. Day-month-year is preferred, but month-year 
           or year-only is acceptable. 
        3) You must have a LOCATION. Town-nation is best, but nation-only is 
           acceptable 
        3) You must REFERENCE your contribution. 
        4) Please follow the format as you see it above. 
 
nb: I am not, at this time, compiling a list of Jews killed for their faith. 
    To list the six million names from the Holocaust of World War II alone 
    would be too much, and beyond comprehension. They are NOT forgotten! 
    Neither are the martyred Baha'is in Iran, nor the Muslim/Christian/Jew 
    problems current in the Mid-East.....nor the Muslim/Hindu troubles, nor 
    the........well, add your own here.
