The focus of the Inquisition was on heretics primarily, not the hunting of witches.  And the top worst trademark of the Inquisition was torture, not burnings.

Wrong inquisition. That was...

Nobody expects the spanish inquisition.

But seriously, there have been many inquisitions.

Also, for the record, witch burnings are mostly urban myth. It was rare for witches to be burned - they were usually drowned or hanged. I simply took "witch burnings" to really be referring to witch-hunts and the resulting killings of witches.
