Iranian police have arrested more than 260 people, including three European citizens, on suspicion of spreading satanism, the state-run IRNA news agency reported Friday.

The report said the suspects were arrested on Thursday night in Shahryar County, west of the capital of Tehran, for “spreading the culture of satanism and nudity.” It did not elaborate.

It was not clear how such a large number of arrests were made in one night — if the suspects were in one location, at some gathering or party, or not.

Gatherings where unrelated men and women are seen together are illegal in Iran and considered a sin under Islamic law.

      I posted about the Jesus nut in another comment and I’m down by -30 now. The Jesus nut is really real guys! And if you are flying a heli and that nut goes, you say “Jesus”. Unless you are way up there and you get to swear a few times and think a couple of thoughts before meeting planet earth at 200mph head on.
