Promiscuous women cause earthquakes

[RuleBritannia]

Promiscuous women are responsible for earthquakes, a senior Iranian cleric has said.

Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi told worshippers in Tehran last Friday that they had to stick to strict codes of modesty to protect themselves.

"Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society which increases earthquakes," he said.

Tens of thousands of people have died in Iran earthquakes in the last decade.

Mr Sedighi was delivering a sermon on the need for a "general repentance" by Iranians.

"What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble? There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral codes," he said.

'Disappoint God'

Young Iranians sometimes push the boundaries of how they can dress, showing hair under their headscarves or wearing tight fitting clothes.

Mr Sedighi also referred to violence following last year's elections, which occurred when thousands of - mostly young - Iranians protested against the result, as a "political earthquake".

"Now if a natural earthquake hits Tehran, no one will be able to confront such a calamity but God's power, only God's power. So lets not disappoint God."

More than 25,000 people died when a powerful earthquake hit the ancient town of Bam in 2003.

Seismologists have warned that the Iranian capital Tehran is situated on a large number of tectonic fault lines and could be hit by a devastating quake soon.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said many of Tehran's 12 million inhabitants should relocate.

There are plans to build a purpose built new capital near Qom.

Yes it's all women's fault.

The only real fault of those earthquakes are the Eurasian and Arabian plates.

Damn - you beat me to it. Its on my clip board ready to paste.

This, folks, is what we are dealing with.

Imagine this fool with a nuclear weapon up his voluminous sleeve!

Well I know I've made the Earth move a few times.. I just didn't realise I had quite that much..

I knew it! It's all the fault of those loose moralled, promiscuous women!

Perhaps this is a little bit OT, but has does anyone else think the fundamentalists that spout this nonsense are a potential danger. I mean during many atrocities some group of people are demeaned and dehumanized, all of society's ills are placed upon them, for instance during Hitler's time, Jews among others were blamed for the ills of Germany. These people who go around and blame women, feminists, atheists, homosexuals, liberals, etc, for all of societies ills (Pat Robertson comes to mind) aren't much better, only they don't have the political power and support to such take actions (yet).

Well worth the earthquakes .

April 26th is Boobquake Day! After that day, the richter scale will need to add a cup size!

Ladies, show off your, um, tectonic plates... it's for science!

"Now if a natural earthquake hits Tehran, . . .

God, on the other paw, does only supernatural earthquakes. Take that, atheists!

Yes, there's potential danger in such BURN THE WITCH!!! attitudes ... Just look at what's happening to females in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries, to homosexuals in Uganda and other places, to the children of Nigeria, for just a few horrendous examples ...

[Trolldor]

Potential danger? I'd say that's a little understating it. There is definitive, unescapable danger in a dogmatism which paints anyone as evil.

More of the "women are evil and are responsible for men´s lack of control" mindset... which is not confined to Islam.

In Shiia Islam there is the concept of Muta Marriage which translates to pleasure marriage. The Cleric will permit a wedding, for a set fee, for a certain amount of time that could be hours or days. At the end of the prescribed time, the marriage is over.

The only beef this cleric has is with people who are having sex without paying his fee.

It goes like this: the more controlled people are, the more likely they are to pay him. The more free people are, the less likely they are to give two shits about him or his fee.

So, if this shit is true - we can organise en masse to have lots of pre-marital sex in the target area of our choice - and level the fuckers!
