When I point out that the Inquisition, which was > a European fad, was a satanic rumor-panic, I'm widening the scope, not > narrowing the scape. The Satanic panic is a _specific event_, just like the witchunts was a specific event. The Satanic Panic originated in the US in the late 80'es and had more or less died out in the mid 90'es. Rumor Panics are of cause an universal human trait, but that doesn't mean that we cant blame people who take part in it. Killing other people is also more or less a universal human trait, but we still blame the _specific murder_ on the person who did it. The USA (and all other countries that took part in it) are to blame for the Satanic Panic. In the US, we can even find people who are still in jail even today, because of those stupid rumor panics. When everyone who got wrongfully convicted are set free and paid for there sufferings, and when bad therapy that creates false memories are banned, THEN can we talk about giving the US a brake. - Corax
