If you go by the bible. It mentions witches/sorcerers being stoned/killed and if you follow that you will find that they had furnaces in which they tried to burn shadrack/mishack/abednigo followers of jesus. I am not saying they are witches. But how far would it have been to jump to the idea to burn the ones they considered witches.
