Iran is a weird fucking place...

[Anomalocaris]

Close allies of Iran‘s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have been accused of using supernatural powers to further his policies amid an increasingly bitter power struggle between him and the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Several people said to be close to the president and his chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, have been arrested in recent days and charged with being “magicians” and invoking djinns (spirits).

Ayandeh, an Iranian news website, described one of the arrested men, Abbas Ghaffari, as “a man with special skills in metaphysics and connections with the unknown worlds”.

And this is in one of the most educated Islamic societies?

So? Ronald Reagan, the man with an itchy finger on 30,000 nuclear warheads, consulted astrologers through his wife. What's more scary?

Islam - slightly more insane than Christianity ....... if that's even possible.

Slightly?

Islam pretends its world view is compatible with its world, which is stuck in the 7th century. Christianity imagines its world view in compatible with the 21st century. Which is more insane?
