Extramarital sex fuels earthquakes, warns Iran cleric
From correspondents in Tehran From: AFP April 17, 2010 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.

It's possible. I've had some shags that have made the earth move :)
Religions blaming women for something anyway. I've never heard of THAT before!
Contrast these two statements:
"We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers."

Hmmm....
I like blue shoes. Blue is my favourite colour
I bought a yellow hat yesterday. It goes with my red shoes
"And nevermind that I am, in fact, colour-blind." :/
Does destroying two beds (not at the same time) count as seismic activity?
