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 today.
"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 overnight prayers in Tehran.
"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.
But this has not stopped urban women from appearing in the streets wearing tight coats and flimsy headscarves and layers of skilfully applied makeup.
Iran is prone to frequent quakes, many of which have been devastating.
The worst in recent times hit the southern city of Bam in December 2003, killing 31,000 people - about a quarter of the population - and destroying its ancient mud-built citadel.
Well, some couples would claim that, yes.
Wow.
About as believable as “Global Warming” causing volcano’s.
No wonder they make their women dress like umbrellas.
Is that including men and their goats? *SMIRK*
My wife and I have fueled several marital earthquakes over the past 18 years.
“Wham, Bam, thank you mam.”
“Did the earth move for you?”
Well, if you think about it, this is just as logical as that idiot leftie who a few months ago claimed that “global warming” caused the Haiti earthquake.
If you’re doing it right, well, yeah...
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around

So if what happens if I wear a lacy Fredricks of Hollywood bra and thong under my burkha? Is that still bad? Will I feel the wrath of the “allah”?
I need to go talk to GaGa about all this. Sounds like a great video idea.
Just think of all the imams who rented the DVD "Men Who Stare at Goats" and expected a romance!
Degenerate the faithful.....with that crazy Casbah sound
The 2003 Bam earthquake was a major earthquake that struck Bam and the surrounding Kerman province of southeastern Iran at 1:56 AM UTC (5:26 AM Iran Standard Time) on Friday, December 26, 2003. The most widely accepted estimate for the magnitude of the earthquake is a moment magnitude (Mw) of 6.6; estimated by the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake was particularly destructive, with the death toll amounting to 26,271 people and injuring an additional 30,000. The effects of the earthquake were exacerbated by the use of mud brick as the standard construction medium; many of the area's structures did not comply with earthquake regulations set in 1989.
What about sex with goats and camels?
ROCK AND ROLL!!
