>Uh, they burned women as witches in Salem, Massachusetts at one point in OUR history. One generation or two is but a blink of an eye in terms of time and long-term successful results.

Not to be picky,
but they didn't burn witches.
They hanged them, crushed them,

or they died in jail.
And almost half of the dead
were men. Damn details . . .

Thanks for filling in the details.

Nevertheless, our country saw some pretty horrific deeds done in the name of religion too.

Funny how the women of Salem were 100 times more free and respected than most Muslim women nowadays.
