As I said in another thread, the number of Anabaptists who were killed is often over-stated. It is hip to identify with them as an oppressed minority.

Something like 3,000 Anabaptists were killed. In the 16th century something like 50-60,000 Reformed folk were killed.

Seems to me that the Reformed were the oppressed minority!
