A SENIOR Iranian cleric says women who wear revealing 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 said.

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 on 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 80km 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,'' said Sedighi, Tehran's acting Friday prayer leader.

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.

Perhaps they are onto something, I mean if they, muslim men, really do lack any self control at all, as they certainly lay claim to by demanding that women wear a huge bag over their heads at all times, then perhaps the rampant onset of mass masturbation, at any sightings of a patch of skin, or a whisp of hair, may be triggering harmonic divergences which reverberate down to the earth's core where satan is waiting to spew his filthy lava at us, which sets off the earthquake, allan ackmarn is great.

At least he's not suggesting people spray acid in their faces.

We should be prepared and get the ladies in this country properly covered up.

There's nothing like the science of Islamo-geology. Mind you, it's just as accurate as the science of geology when it comes to earthquake predictions.
