Iranian cleric: Women who wear revealing clothing cause earthquakes | Mail Online

A senior Iranian cleric says women who wear revealing clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes.

'Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,' Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media.

Women in the Islamic Republic are required by law to cover from head to toe, but many, especially the young, ignore some of the more strict codes and wear tight coats and scarves pulled back that show much of the hair.

A female opposition supporter flashes the victory sign during election rallies in Tehran last year. An Iranian cleric has claimed that an earthquake at the time was the result of protests... and that women who are provocatively dressed can cause more quakes

'What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble?' Sedighi asked during a prayer sermon Friday. 'There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral codes.'

Seismologists have warned for at least two decades that it is likely the sprawling capital will be struck by a catastrophic quake in the near future.

Iran is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, and the cleric's unusual explanation for why the earth shakes follows a prediction by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that a quake is certain to hit Tehran and that many of its 12 million inhabitants should relocate.

Some experts have even suggested Iran should move its capital to a less seismically active location. Tehran straddles scores of fault lines, including one more than 50 miles (80 kilometres) long, though it has not suffered a major quake since 1830.

In 2003, a powerful earthquake hit the southern city of Bam, killing 31,000 people - about a quarter of that city's population - and destroying its ancient mud-built citadel.

'A divine authority told me to tell the people to make a general repentance. Why? Because calamities threaten us,' said Sedighi, Tehran's acting Friday prayer leader.

Referring to the violence that followed last June's disputed presidential election, he said, 'The political earthquake that occurred was a reaction to some of the actions (that took place).

'And 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 let's not disappoint God.'

The Iranian government and its security forces have been locked in a bloody battle with a large opposition movement that accuses Ahmadinejad of winning last year's vote by fraud.

Ahmadinejad made his quake prediction two weeks ago but said he could not give an exact date.

He acknowledged that he could not order all of Tehran's 12 million people to evacuate.

'But provisions have to be made. ... At least 5 million should leave Tehran so it is less crowded,' the president said.

Minister of Welfare and Social Security Sadeq Mahsooli said prayers and pleas for forgiveness were the best 'formulas to repel earthquakes'.

'We cannot invent a system that prevents earthquakes, but God has created this system and that is to avoid sins, to pray, to seek forgiveness, pay alms and self-sacrifice,' Mahsooli said.

Women who wear revealing clothing cause earthquakes

...... in my pants! (sorry, had to be said)

[raydog1]

That's the hottest ninja I've ever seen! Green is definitely the new black.

[ftncityfatboy]

she may be hot in that pix, but when she takes off that veil she will reveal major dental work required. As if the camera were to take a snapshot of her below the shoulders, 350 pounder. Be very careful what you lust after, "a picture is worth a thousand words" holds very true, especially the unseen portion of the pix!

Arab ambassador discovers bride is bearded and cross-eyed behind veil - Telegraph

Arab ambassador discovers bride is bearded and cross-eyed behind veil

The envoy had only met the woman a few times, during which she had hidden her face behind a niqab, the Gulf News reported.

After the marriage contract was signed, the ambassador attempted to kiss his bride-to-be. It was only then that he discovered her facial hair and eyes.

The ambassador told an Islamic Sharia court in the United Arab Emirates he was tricked into the marriage as the woman's mother had shown his own mother pictures of her sister instead of his bride-to-be.

He sued for the contract to be annulled and also demanded the woman pay him 500,000 dirhams (£85,000) for clothes, jewelry and other gifts he had bought for her.

The court annulled the contract but rejected the ambassador's demand for compensation.

The report did not identify the ambassador.

If that is the case................

Tennessee should be shaking all over!

she may be hot in that pix, but when she takes off that veil she will reveal major dental work required.

Or a moustache.

[Mike.357]

Or a moustache.

[gnmwilliams]

Puts a whole new meaning to the lyrics, "Rock my world little country girl!"

[roverboy]

Have you heard the saying? "If the chick's got a veil the dude better bail".

Perhaps there was something lost in translation. Would it be possible that "earthquake" and "erection" could sound similar in Iranian?

That actually makes more sense. They claim that women cause men to lose control and cause them to think bad thoughts where in reality they just can't keep it in their own pants or control their own thoughts. A man who blames his own shortcomings and weaknesses on someone else is a poor excuse for a man.

[Guest FroggyOne2]

I can agree with that.

Well said! I have to hand it to the women there. They get blamed for everything. Including natural disasters now, apparently
