Iranian cleric blames quakes on promiscuous women

» by in: Iran

Shaking their booty may lead to global catastrophe.

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.-BBC

Personally I think Mr Sedighi is a crackpot. ROK Drop readers can leave their own jokes in the comments section.

    If that's true, Osan's high school should have broken off and fallen into the ocean by now.

    None-the-less, if modest dressing protects against earthquakes, what do they suppose protects against nuclear bunker busters?

    :sad: Once again:

    Science flies us to the moon.

    Religion flies us into buildings.

    All religious nuts are crack pots….just like Billy Graham blaming Katrina on homosexuals.

    “The earth was quaking, my mind was aching, and we were making it and you shook me all night long…” ;-)
