Cause of devastating earthquakes revealed


According to senior Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, the recent host of earthquakes, and those to come, have been provoked by the immodesty of Muslim women. This immodesty, as detailed in HuffingtonPost article Iranian Cleric: Promiscuous Women Cause Earthquakes, is tempting young men and corrupting their sense of moral judgment and, apparently, the stability of our earth's tectonic plates.

Well I must say that I am elated that the veil has been lifted off of that mystery (pun intended). There is a serious imbalance in the world when a woman thinks she can show her hair and get away with it. That is one thing I can give Islam, the idea that the woman and woman's body are so powerful a temptation that it can wrench men of their ability to reason or exercise moral scruples. This belief essentially gives women more power, and through Muslim thought, more responsibility ergo women can easily be held accountable for males' transgressions. It is this air-tight logic that drives the incentive for practices such as honor killing, exemplified here, here, and in case you still don't grasp it, here.

At best, this mentality incenses me. My advice to the less-than-conservative women of Iran is to take a page out of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's book (you could really, it's called Infidel) and take refuge in some place where you can show your ankles before the impending earthquake in Tehran.
