ailamos Posted April 20, 2010 This is too funny to keep to myself... 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.

Chocolate and Honey Posted April 20, 2010 LMFO! Have you read Thousand Splendid Suns by the author of the Kite Runner? Amazing book. Anyhoo, anytime I hear about men blaming women for everything under the sun, I'm reminded of this quote in the book by Mariam's mom : like a compus needle, a man's accusing finger always find a woman. Remember that Mariam." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gheelle.T Posted April 20, 2010 ^You too confused the hell of me, why are you having the same av on display? See what you did to me now On serious note though, it's not only the Muslim clerics/men that say the weirdest things and blame woman for all sort of human ails. I have seen priest in Haiti and in part of Africa doing the same. Pat Robinson blames homos on all things bad. Our muslin clerics need to upgrade their game and come up with some sophistication, this consistent accusation is getting old and cliche! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chocolate and Honey Posted April 20, 2010 LOL! Sowie. If it is any consolation, I had the Avatar first!! I've heard Christian men who do the same; blame America's financial situation on women shouldering men in the workforce. But the difference is they dont quoate the Bible. Yeah, so nothing new there.

ANWAR Posted April 20, 2010 I support the Iranian cleric because he is telling the truth!! Many women in Tehran and other major cities in Iran has ignored the rules of Sharia law, and has instead dressed in pants, tight-fitting jackets and loose shawls. This go against the law THIS IS WHAT HE WANT IRANIAN WOMEN TO DRESS LIKE NOT THIS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose I post such stuff because I think it might be of general interest to some in the forum... if I did post stuff on the latest research article or news post that I found cool then I don't think anyone would be interested... here are other posts I found really interesting today: Challenging China in rare earth mining Europe finds clean energy in trash, US lags Google reveals government data requests and censorship Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
