(who's been joking about the holocaust?)
However, the jokes that your doing about burning witches...
Maybe Biggles, Skweeky, SGG or Gripper (amongst others) could explain it to you...

No, however there are rules against Religious Discrimination..
Wicca is a religion... a witch is commonly regarded as a wiccan.
Ergo... Due to acts that were perpetrated against pagans, (Laws that were only repealed in the 1950's in the UK) it could be looked upon as similar to Jokes about the Holocaust to Jewish members...

Let me explain....
Wicca is a serious and recognised religion and an historically persecuted group.
By promoting (even joking) about the torture or abuse of witches (and you can insert your minority group of choice here) you are proliferating contining hostility towards this group.
If you are a member of this persecuted group, then clearly you would see it as offensive to have that group pilloried or put down, and would perhaps feel disturbed about joking references to the mistreatment of 'your people' even if you realised that it was ignorance rather than malice in its intent.
It makes no difference what 'group' you refer to, this could be Jews, Muslims, Wiccans, or Gays.
Does this help in the explanation?
