Iran Cleric: Women to Blame for Earthquakes

A senior cleric in Iran says that the immodesty and whorish dress of women is responsible for Earthquakes. 

“Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes,” Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi told Iranian media.

Sedighi claims Iranian women are “owning and using a giant earthquake machine.”

Apparently Iran is an earthquake prone country. (California is an earthquake prone state so..maybe he is on to something?)

Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad agrees: 

“As I have said before, the woes of Iran, and the earthquakes that threaten us in particular, can all be blamed on immodest women,” said Ahmadinejad.

The Iranian leader recently predicted that Tehran was in imminent danger of an earthquake from “a giant earthquake machine to hold our populace hostage”
