An Iranian cleric joins the ranks of people who blame natural disasters on folks not behaving the way they oughta:
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.
It’s almost a traditional “kids today” rant with the phrase “increases earthquakes” tacked on at the end. Bizarre. Maybe we should just claim that everything we don’t like increases earthquakes.
- “When you cut in front of me in line, that increases earthquakes.”
- “I wish the DJ would stop playing Nickelback. I hear they increase earthquakes.”
- “Dear, would you please not leave the seat up? It increases earthquakes.”
Religious wankery aside, it’s a deadly serious matter:
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.
Blag Hag is putting these claim to the test:

Everyone hold tight for April 26!!!

Apparently Burka Babes of Iran gyrating pelvic motions cause Earthquakes. When the lights go low, sometimes these motions become harmonized with other promiscuous women. Causing disaster to strike. Ahmadinejad is said to have enlisted the army to study these effects. To learn how these women can be harnessed to destroy… Israel. Rumor has it if all goes well they will be importing vibrators and other sex toys from America, to give this weapon first strike capabilities.
Likes :D
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said many of Tehran’s 12 million inhabitants should relocate.
Is anyone else surprised to have read this? Ahmadinejad listening to scientists about an issue like this? I didn’t expect that.
Hey, I haven’t heard anyone saying that St. Francisco should be moved, isn’t it also on a fault? Even Bush may listen to scientists sometimes, but I don’t think the conclusions (relocate 12M people) fit the risk. What about new policies on buildings?
New technology?!? But that is what the west would do!
But Nickelback does cause earthquakes. There´s no evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.
Iceland’s Prime Minister is a lesbian…therefore, homosexuality causes volcanic eruptions. San Francisco is double-screwed – all straight men and burqa-wearing women should relocate to Wisconsin for their own safety. You heard it here first.
I love how, although the effects are “caused” by the young men going astray, it’s still the woman’s fault for tempting the young men who then commit adultery. Someone needs a lesson in root-cause analysis.
Nincompoop says: If you listen to AC/DC it increases Earthquakes.
AC/DC later replied, “Fuck Yeah!”.
Every time you masturbate…. god starts an earthquake.
If this were true, at 13 I would have DESTROYED THE WORLD.
Only at 13?
Ty was a late bloomer it seems.
It’s a bell curve. I was thinking 13 was probably at the peak of the curve.
Bell Curve? Mine looks like a Plateau.
The world would then end. Future potential world ending would be superfluous.
Typical human, thinking it’s all about their planet. Think of the neighborhood!
So long as the women are kept in their ‘tent’ Tehran will not have an earthquake. I know that is true cuz a holey man says so.
I’ve seen the studies. Playing Nickelback DOES increase the likelihood of earthquakes…along with the obvious consequences such as bleeding ears and the higher occurences of douchebaggery in the test environment.
Um, that’s not Nickelback. That’s Bon Jovi.
I think this might be a 6 degrees of separation thing.
1. Woman is dressed “immodestly”
2. Man is turned on and strikes up a conversation
3. They get into a relationship
4. He’s jealous because she is dressed immodestly
5. She says it’s his FAULT because he’s insecure
6. Faults cause earthquakes
Chew on that, Kevin Bacon!
5. Fault
