Iranian cleric: Promiscuous women cause quakes
By SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI, Associated Press Writer Scheherezade
Faramarzi, Associated Press Writer
BEIRUT – A senior Iranian cleric says women who wear immodest clothing
and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes.
Iran is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, and the
cleric's unusual explanation for why the earth shakes follows a
prediction by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that a quake is certain to
hit Tehran and that many of its 12 million inhabitants should
relocate.
"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. Sedighi is Tehran's acting Friday
prayer leader.
Women in the Islamic Republic are required by law to cover from head
to toe, but many, especially the young, ignore some of the more strict
codes and wear tight coats and scarves pulled back that show much of
the hair.
"What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble?" Sedighi asked
during a prayer sermon Friday. "There is no other solution but to take
refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral codes."
Seismologists have warned for at least two decades that it is likely
the sprawling capital will be struck by a catastrophic quake in the
near future.
Some experts have even suggested Iran should move its capital to a
less seismically active location. Tehran straddles scores of fault
lines, including one more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) long, though
it has not suffered a major quake since 1830.
In 2003, a powerful earthquake hit the southern city of Bam, killing
31,000 people — about a quarter of that city's population — and
destroying its ancient mud-built citadel.
"A divine authority told me to tell the people to make a general
repentance. Why? Because calamities threaten us," Sedighi said.
Referring to the violence that followed last June's disputed
presidential election, he said, "The political earthquake that
occurred was a reaction to some of the actions (that took place). And
now, if a natural earthquake hits Tehran, no one will be able to
confront such a calamity but God's power, only God's power. ... So
let's not disappoint God."
The Iranian government and its security forces have been locked in a
bloody battle with a large opposition movement that accuses
Ahmadinejad of winning last year's vote by fraud.
Ahmadinejad made his quake prediction two weeks ago but said he could
not give an exact date. He acknowledged that he could not order all of
Tehran's 12 million people to evacuate. "But provisions have to be
made. ... At least 5 million should leave Tehran so it is less
crowded," the president said.
Minister of Welfare and Social Security Sadeq Mahsooli said prayers
and pleas for forgiveness were the best "formulas to repel
earthquakes."
"We cannot invent a system that prevents earthquakes, but God has
created this system and that is to avoid sins, to pray, to seek
forgiveness, pay alms and self-sacrifice," Mahsooli said.

Our nuts can compete with anybody's. We need a way to see which has
the most confidence in his beliefs. I wonder if they'd volunteer to be
locked in a room without food and water for a month to see which one
gets his god's vote?
