Extramarital affairs fuel earthquakes: Iran cleric

Tehran: A senior Iranian cleric has claimed that dolled-up women incite extramarital affairs, causing more earthquakes in Iran, a country that straddles several fault lines, newspapers reported yesterday.

"Many women who dress inappropriately ... cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital affairs in society, which increases earthquakes," Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told worshippers at Tehran Friday prayer.

"Calamities are the result of people's deeds," he was quoted as saying by reformist Aftab-e Yazd newspaper. "We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers."

The Islamic dress code is mandatory in Iran, which has been under clerical rule for more than three decades.

I'm really getting lost here.

What's your point;

- Is it you think God has nothing to do with what we are doing, or

- There is no God at all

But why an eruption in the earth. Did earth make love to a girl or got too excited by looking at those sexy Icelandic girls.

The guy is right. When I and my love make love, it creates and earthquake and then an eruption.

Hmmmm......that proves that women in Iceland are showing too much skin causing the ongoing volcano eruptions.

By deepb• 19 Apr 2010 09:20

No WK, dolled up women excite and incite the youth. Then it leads to sin. And as you all know, sin leads to natural calamities. Wonder how much a dolled up woman measures on the Richter scale.

By soniya• 19 Apr 2010 09:20
soniya

Well, IRAN's political agendas and views are not digestable to me..when the islamic dress code is mandatory in IRAN, where are these so called CLERICS to impose the same diktat on some FEMALE POP ARTISTS of their country?? They do wear skimpy clothes in their music videos..Stop them first where their videos r being watched by many...

By Olive• 19 Apr 2010 09:16
Olive

Of course I'm serious Soniya. :P When it doubt, blame women and what they wear for natural disasters. Men have been doing it since the garden of eden after all. :P

By anonymous• 19 Apr 2010 09:14
anonymous

SO how does this work, looking at a dolled-up woman gets earth excited or what?

By soniya• 19 Apr 2010 09:12

Really olive?? Or r u getting sarcastic with the clerical comments?? lol

By Olive• 19 Apr 2010 09:09

No, everyone knows that too much make-up causes hurricanes.

By deepb• 19 Apr 2010 09:07
deepb

It can't be the makeup, cause majority of the Arabic women overdose on it.

By Olive• 19 Apr 2010 08:56

I want to know what Iran's definition of "dolled up" is. Where these women showing to much ankle?

By deepb• 19 Apr 2010 08:53
deepb

Ah, I always knew dolled up women were the reason for extra marital affairs. Men are just innocent bystanders whose chastity is tainted by these women. Can I get some candy please?

By soniya• 19 Apr 2010 08:40

ohh god, v can expect all kinds of comments from IRAN..lol..
