TEHRAN: A senior Iranian cleric has claimed that dolled-up women incite extramarital sex, causing more earthquakes in Iran, a country that straddles several fault lines, newspapers reported on Saturday.
"Many women who dress inappropriately ... cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes," Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi told worshippers at Tehran Friday prayer.
"Calamities are the result of people's deeds," he was quoted as saying by reformist Aftab-e Yazd newspaper. "We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers."
The Islamic dress code is mandatory in Iran, which has been under clerical rule for more than three decades.
Every post-pubescent woman regardless of her religion or nationality must cover her hair and bodily contours in public. Offenders face punishment and fine.

Oh, the piety of those who have multiple wives, including those under the age of 15. These ‘clerics’ know so little about God.
It would make a better tablecloth.
So,...what you’re saying is...cheating Iranians like it rough?
How fondly I remember that first earthquake my wife and I caused.
Save it for TP.
This even makes AlBore seem almost intelligent.
It would plug the drains.
Gee, there must be a whole lotta fornicatin’ going on then!”
You’re right. It’s not biodegradable.
I can’t think of anything else now.
It would make a better tablecloth.
I can’t get any cloth on my table because of my piling system.
Awnings?
This is all your fault!
I’ve been trying to think of something witty to say aside from the TP reference. Way too dark for awnings.
I’m still amazed that after thirty plus years the silence of the feminist movement. I’ve been called a chauvanist pig, but I revere all women above me. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

They have a modern society in Iran ya know. /s
