Muslim cleric: Women’s immodest clothing is causing rivers to run dry

Immorality among women is causing a river in Iran to dry up, according to a senior cleric from the Islamic Republic

Seyyed Youssef Tabatabi-nejad, who leads Friday prayers in Isfahan, encouraged the country’s morality police to crack down on ‘improper veiling’ and suggested women’s immodest clothing was having an impact on the environment.

In a sermon this week, he said: “My office has received photos of women next to the dry Zayandeh-rud River pictured as if they are in Europe. It is these sorts of acts that cause the river to dry up even further,” ISNA News Agency reported.

“I tell the Communications Ministry to clamp down on the instigators of the networks encouraging immodesty. If you don’t do so, then you will have failed to carry out your duty. The Communications Ministry can discover and suffocate these individuals.

“If we see a sin it’s useless that we only bicker about it. The police force can use the [paramilitary] Hezbollahi forces in carrying out their operations to root out vice,” he added.

His comments come following an increase in the number of morality police in Iran and subsequent crackdown on women failing to veil correctly, playing music too loudly in their cars or acting in a way that is perceived to be un-Islamic by the authorities…

He wasn’t speaking metaphorically. He was serious: “My office has received photos of women next to the dry Zayandeh-rud River pictured as if they are in Europe. It is these sorts of acts that cause the river to dry up even further.” This is the kind of mindset to which the West is capitulating wholesale today.

Makes more sense than global warming. Could we induce famine in Iran by blanketing the country with bikinis? Worth looking into.

Cleric-me. In order to appease the river to flow again every devout Muslim should stand on the river bank, cut their own throat and let their blood heal the river.

In Dore Gold’s book he documents the eminent Saudi cleric who was teaching that the idea that the earth is round rather than flat is a Zionist-western plot. How would knowledge advance without Islam?

Is this the same cleric who warned men not to masturbate or their hands will grow uteruses? I thought it makes you go blind, but what do I know? I stopped as soon as I needed glasses :p
