Certainly there is room among the "poor in spirit" to include a few infidels whose lanquidness procludes them form seeing the light.
Must we burn them all?

I quote :
"Christ did not come to butcher, to murder, to burn, but that men
might have life and that more abundantly. So long as a man lives,
we should pray and hope for his repentance. A Turk or a heretic is to be overcome not with sword or fire but by patience and
weeping. We are therefore to wait patiently for the judgment of
God. Every Christian has a sword against the godless, that is the
word of God; but not a sword against evil-doers. True faith
thrives by conflict; the more it is opposed the greater it becomes.
When Jehoiakim destroyed the book of Jeremiah, Baruch wrote a better one. The truth is immortal."
"Those who are heretics one should overcome with holy
knowledge, not angrily but softly, with a spiritual fire and a zeal of
love. The greatest deception of the people is a zeal for God that is unscripturally channelled, for conviction of the right and sincerity are deadly arrows where they are not led and directed by the Scriptures. It is a small thing to burn innocent people, but to point out an error and disprove it by Scripture, that is art."
─ Balthasar Hübmaier

Paul did it.
He replaced the teachings of Jesus with his own complexes based on the official religions of the Roman Empire.

"Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19)
