Ahmadinejad is in danger of losing power to radical Islam.

Quote:
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".
Irrational?

People believe the Bible in America. The Bible had at least one witch that could summon souls from the afterlife.

Don't believe me? Here. It's not in some obscure, one off kind of Bible. It's in King James, etc.

This witch had the power of GOD to command souls. Crazy stuff.

I always though being a sorcerer would be a good thing...What's so bad about sorcery?

Oh wait, these are radical Islamicist sorcerers intent on bringing back the Hidden Imam Mahdi, not sorcerers like:
