This is one of those stories that sounds like it originated at The Onion, but it’s real.
Here’s more proof – as if you really needed any – that Iran is home to more lunatics per capita than any other nation on the face of the earth.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad maintains is grip on power, but not on reality
The Guardian UK has the details:
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”.
The arrests come amid a growing rift between Ahmadinejad and Khamenei which has prompted several MPs to call for the president to be impeached.
These people have the ability to make nuclear weapons and they believe in genies. These two facts do not compute.

“…a man with special skills in metaphysics and connections with the unknown worlds.”
Sounds like our own President, except in Obama’s case the “unknown worlds” are in Chicago.

Maybe the djinn didn’t make the homosexuals disappear. Maybe they just made them straight. If the genies look anything like Barbara Eden, that could explain a lot! Hubba hubba!

and who is to blame for Ahmafoolandafreak’s fashion sense?
Seriously I have no love for Ahmaravinglunatic, he gets no excuse that someone is controlling his actions. He knows what he is doing.
Iranian citizens are to blame for Ahmahitlerintraining and everyone else in control of the country that makes all kinds of bad decisions. Now the youth are trying to get him and the others out, there is no chance of that with Obamie in place and the US as weak as it is now.

How can anyone tell if someone is consorting with the demons. None of those lunatics there are demonically challenged.

Here’s the best scientific way to know: drop him in a barrel of water. He’ll float if he’s a witch.

Well I didn’t see that one comeing! If ol’ Mahmoud had greased the skids like he was supposed to his homies wouldn’t be ending up on otherworldly charges, but no, he wanted it all for himself. That’s what happens when your friends don’t stop you from being stupid and powerful.

“Close allies of Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have been accused of using supernatural powers ”
Thus, it ain´t Mahmoud but Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who´s taking acid.

Persian carpets are famous because the Djinn would fly on them, and one bad day a pistoff Djinn stuffed another Djinn in a bottle and buried it, settling science on both these cool phenomena. Think Djinn sounds like part of I Dream of Jeanie?
