Iranian cleric blames quakes on promiscuous women

More than 25,000 people died in the Bam quake
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.

It's just yet another crazy idea which truly astounds common sense. It's not like Islamic clerics are the only religious spokes people to say such daft things however...

To be fair there aren't many quite so daft as some of the crazy ideas that come out of Islam. Maybe 500 years ago but not since people have been free to get an education. Talking main stream religion, obviously there are some nut job groups about with equally crazy ideas but generally they aren't taken seriously by many people. These loons have billions of people in their cult.

City's built on an earthquake zone, so they're going to rebuild it somewhere else.

That's pretty amazing forward thinking from a nation stuck in the past.
Everyone else just prays.

I beg to differ...
A very high catholic cleric just recently blamed homosexuality for the child abuse incidents by catholic priests. Another one claimed that the ´68 revolution and the sexual liberation are to blame. And if you take a look at the US, you´ll find that those religious hardliners have an entire army of supporters. Just a couple of months ago, I was linked to a website full of christians, who were openly discussing violence, euthanasia of all non-christian people as well as basically a christian version of a jihad.
