Iranian cleric blames quakes on promiscuous women

More than 25,000 people died in the Bam quake

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.

Ok   folks I am writing about this because this is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Earthquakes caused by women !!! Oh My God. I hope people realize how false this is. This  just shows how backward the Iranian Cleric really is.

People have to be smarter then this. Does this also give them another excuse to  beat there wives? Women are not evil creatures. Women have gotten a bad rap because of idiots like these. The really sad thing about all this is those who are stupid enough to actually believe this garbage.
