Lest we only consider Jews killing Jewish mystics, it's worth noting that one
of the prominent early Sufis was crucified in Baghdad (I think) for
propounding an unorthodox view of incarnationism. The Sufis, who have entered
into a
universalist phase, and who have produced so much sublime poetry and
literature,
owe their formation in part to a thinker who was killed by his own audience
much as Jesus was.
