Iran is a weird fucking place...
May 6, 2011 at 11:29 pm
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?

Iran is a great example of what happens when religious fucktards run things.

Wow. Obviously holding people in custody without charge is no obstacle to Iranian law enforcement, everyone's guilty until proven innocent.

You know what I am thinking? Thats a great way to take out political enemies in a country that is superstitious...accuse them of witchcraft, and if anyone rejects the claim then obviously they too are dabling in witchcraft as well.

Not a dime's worth of difference between Islam and Christianity.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
... -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
... -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
