Are you seriously asserting that no "witches" were burned in Europe during the Inquisition?

Here is the web page of a museum in Germany which has executioners' masks and torture devices of all sorts from the period. Is it possible that they manufactured these items and the story behind them?

And here is a tract which discusses the witch burnings, including the estimate by archaeologist Marija Gumbatas at the University of California who believes that as many as nine million women died in a during the witch-craze in Europe:

I think nine million might be a bit high. We do not have all the historical records, although I have read lists including thousands of women's names, with the date and where they were tortured and murdered. That wonderful video, The Burning Times, also uses the nine million figure.
