[size=28pt]Promiscuous women cause earthquakes, Iran cleric says [/size]
By the CNN Wire Staff
April 20, 2010 4:55 p.m. EDT

(CNN) -- Women who dress provocatively and tempt people into promiscuity are to blame for earthquakes, a leading Iranian hard-line cleric has apparently said.

The prayer leader, Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi, says women and girls who "don't dress appropriately" spread "promiscuity in society."

"When promiscuity spreads, earthquakes increase," he says in a video posted Monday on YouTube, apparently of him leading Friday prayers in Tehran, Iran, last week.

"There is no way other than taking refuge in religion and adapting ourselves to Islamic behavior," he adds in the video.

The video was posted by YouTube user "electionlies," who appears to be anti-regime. The account features wallpaper of a blindfolded woman apparently weeping blood and the slogan, "The green movement is alive."

Green was the color of anti-regime protesters in last year's demonstrations in several cities across Iran. The protesters were marching against the country's election results, which gave President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a second term in office.

Sadeghi is a senior cleric who was appointed last year by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei as a substitute Friday prayer leader in Tehran, an extremely influential position.

Khamenei himself is Tehran's official Friday prayer leader.

Iran suffers regular earthquakes, including a devastating one that destroyed the ancient city of Bam in 2003, killing tens of thousands.

Sadeghi is not the only religious leader to have linked earthquakes with human behavior this year.

American televangelist Pat Robertson suggested that January's devastating earthquake in Haiti was because of a pact Haitians made with the devil in order to throw off French rule in the 18th century.

A spokesman for Robertson said he was referring to a widely discussed Haitian legend, but University of Miami researcher Kate Ramsey said the legend was "utterly a fabrication, and it's an extremely offensive one."

Absolute propagation of ignorance and utter denigration of women. I am grossly appalled.

I wonder who these promicuous women are messing about with. themsleves, men or animals? what about the men who caused them to become so recklessly promiscuous? may be it is their right to be so?

I am ashamed that this cleric may be a spiritual mentor to anybody. Sorry women do not be offfended. There are still so many ignorant people in our world but we all know that it takes two to tango.

Too many idiots have taken over religion. And this is Iran, one of the sites of the earliest civilizations. Its a pity they are being ruled by idiots.

They can as well march 100 naked and promiscuous women into Isreal.

Nigerians copy a lot from Iranians. Remember Salmon Rushdie being issue a Fatqua death sentence after his novel. Issuing fatquas simply became the vogue a few years later in Nigeria.
My fear is that islamic cleric in Nigeria might one day start blaming women they view as promisuous, Hot, or scantly dressed to be responsible for all sorts of man-made and natural disasters.
