Well, it is an Islamic fundamentalist country.
(Mohabat News) — The findings of a recent government survey show that the dangers of such groups regarding cultural and moral matters have reached a critical level. The survey also reveals that New-age Satanist groups are more active in central and south-west Iran, especially in Shiraz (924 KMs South of Tehran) and Karaj (25 KMs, North-West of Tehran) than elsewhere.
Members of such groups range in age from 16 to 24 and boys show 10 times more interest than girls in joining these Satanist groups. The survey also indicates that internet and private parties are the primary ways used to attract youth.
The report was submitted to senior authorities of the country indicating that baggy clothes, clothes with tawdry colors, special sharp horned rings, unusual wristbands, skull necklaces and long hair or shaved heads are symbols of the groups that tend toward Satanism. As a result of this report the police have opposed such Satanist groups and their symbols. From time to time Iranian police have reported the closure of a number of shops in which the symbols and clothes representing Satanism are being sold.
