Iran Says Satanist Cults Challenging Islam

KHALEEJ TIMES ONLINE: TEHRAN - Iranian police said dozens of Satan-worshiping cults have found their way into the country and that many of them are seeking to turn people against Islam, press reports said on Wednesday.

"There are more than 3,000 Satan-worshipping cults in the world and about 50 of them have entered Iran," deputy police chief Hossein Zolfaghari was quoted as saying by Etemad newspaper.

He said about half of those groups were active and that about 200 books on the subject had been translated, printed and distributed.

Such groups commonly "deviate from conventional religions, make false promises, sexually exploit" and "are tasked with (promoting) Islamophobia," Zolfaghari said. Iran Says Satanist Cults Challenging Islam: Report >>> AFP | September 17, 2008
