"Most of the cases involve pastors or religious leaders in African communities who have incorporated elements of witchcraft or spirit possession into their version of fundamentalist Christianity. These beliefs are widely held in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Kanda was born. . . ."

"In the past decade and a half, London's most high-profile cases have been linked to Christian groups with roots in Western and Sub-Saharan Africa. But cases involving other faiths, such as Islam and Hinduism, have emerged more recently as authorities have delved deeper. . . ."

Pathetic really. I mean, I live here in Utah were the LDS faith is a rather large (something like 60% 9 years ago when I moved here) portion of the population. Yet, I could go out right now and drive to 3 different Wiccan stores in the area. Now considering how large a LDS population we have here, add in the people who attend churches of other Christian faiths and we have ALOT of religious people but I have not even seen picket sign one at any of those shops let alone seen or read any report on some act of violence towards the owner or patron of those shops.
