The leaders of the satanic sect have carried out extensive advertisements through cyberspace, these advertisements are based on the influence on people's thoughts. By promoting ideas against moral principles and public order, they have been the cause of many crimes such as injuring public modesty, rape, moral corruption, etc. in the society, they have encouraged the youth to do some harmful activities by Satanism not only causes personal harm, but in many cases it causes irreparable social harm to the moral and cultural foundations of society. Its target society is mostly young people as the driving force of societies, therefore it is necessary to deal with it seriously and quickly in the age of communication. The best way to deal with such attacks is non-criminal prevention by eliminating and neutralizing factors and situations that cause delinquency, including social prevention through individual education and training and by raising the level of public awareness and culture, situational prevention by de-attracting crime, increasing the cost of committing crime. and reducing the possibility of concluding a crime and criminal prevention through the establishment and implementation of effective laws in the national and international dimension in order to prevent and reduce these crimes. Strengthening the targeted and vulnerable points, including religious and moral beliefs and providing pure Islamic mysticism to the youth and making them aware will curb social deviations at any level.
