wWomen who wear revealing clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes

[DallasRain]

I found this interesting topic on another board........



Women who wear revealing clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes, an Iranian cleric says.

Hojjat ol-eslam Kazem Sediqi, the acting Friday prayer leader in Tehran, said women should 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 explained.

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

Mr Sediqi was delivering a televised sermon at the Tehran University campus mosque last Friday on the need for a "general repentance" by Iranians when he warned of a "prevalence of degeneracy".

"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'

Correspondents say many young Iranians sometimes push the boundaries of how they can dress, showing hair under their headscarves or wearing tight-fitting clothes.

Mr Sediqi also described the violence following last year's disputed presidential election - the result of which prompted thousands of people to hold mass protests - 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 city of Bam in 2003.

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


So today is Declared " Shake this world" day all you ladies are to dress
"HOT" and rock this world !!

Women With Suntans Face Arrest in IranMara Gay ContributorAOL News (April 28) -- Suntanned women are defying Islamic values and will be arrested, an Iranian police chief said, according to The Telegraph.Just days after an Iranian cleric declared that scantily clad women were to blame for an increase in earthquakes around the world, Tehran police chief Brigadier Hossein Sajedinia promised to move "firmly and swiftly" to round up and arrest women with that sun-kissed glow. "The public expects us to act firmly and swiftly if we see any social misbehavior by women, and men, who defy our Islamic values," he said Tuesday. "We are not going to tolerate this situation and will first warn those found in this manner and then arrest and imprison them." An Iranian police chief said women in Iran with suntans will be arrested for defying Islamic values. Here, young women sit at a coffee shop in Tehran.Under Iranian law, women must be covered from head to toe. In the country's more cosmopolitan capital, however, some women take pleasure in flouting that law, or at least pushing its limits."In some areas of north Tehran we can see many suntanned women and young girls who look like walking mannequins," Sajedinia said. But Iran's ongoing war on the freedom of women may backfire, at least outside Iran.Earlier this week, for example, when Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi said "women who do not dress modestly" cause seismic activity, his comments only seemed to embolden the forces of debauchery.Jennifer McCreight, an American college student in Indiana, organized an international "Boobquake" to test the cleric's theory by showing some skin. On the Boobquake Facebook page, about 200,000 women pledged to wear their most revealing tops at the same time to see if they could heat up the Richter scale. The event inspired a range of tank tops (but not long-sleeved shirts). "Did the Earth move for you?" one read. At Canada's National Post, Althea Manasan speculated about the backlash Iran's latest anti-vice edict might let loose. "It will be interesting to see whether there are any moves to protest this latest decree," she wrote. "Maybe an international Wear Your Bikini to Work Day?"

Sorry about that Dilbert.

I had been having computer issues all day long, and the article looked fine in MS Word and still looked fine before I hit the 'Post Reply' icon. When I saw what it did, I shut my computer down and went to bed - I was too tired to keep messing with it anymore.

It did it again. I had to re-edit this message.

Is this any different from "Christian" preachers who blamed 9/11 & Katrina on homosexuals?
