Women Get Blamed for Earthquakes
A senior Iranian cleric says women who wear revealing, immodest clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes.
The cleric's statement follows a prediction by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that a quake is certain to hit Tehran.
"Many women who do not dress modestly...lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which [consequently] increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media. --Los Angeles Times, April 20, 2010.
