The Imam Seismologist Explains Earthquakes

Women who wear revealing clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes, according to senior Iranian cleric Hojatolam Kazem Sedighi.  He gave this warning after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted that a quake is certain to hit the capital Tehran and that many residents should relocate.

In his prayer sermon, the cleric said: 'Many women who do not dress modestly... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes.'  He further declared that Iranians should adapt their “lives to Islam’s moral codes,” which require women to be covered from head-to-toe, if they want to avoid the same strong earthquakes that have occurred this year. A growing number of Iran’s younger generations are trading their traditional Islamic clothing for Western-style wardrobe to the chagrin of the conservative government.

Strangely enough, the Governor of a Western state has recommended, on a strictly voluntary basis, that the citizens of his state voluntarily adopt less provocative swimwear, cease wearing short skirts and sundresses, and confine their sexual activities solely with their current husbands in order the placate the earthquake god.  A surprisingly positive response followed this gubernatorial recommendation; except, predictably enough, in Santa Monica.

Coast watchers are expecting a tsunami to come in any day now.

This is a hoot! A proper imam should regard revealing clothing as a gift from Allah.

The girls at South Beach often wear thongs and go topless. How come Florida doesn't have earthquakes?

I don't know about anyone else, but I often feel the earth move when I see a cute young lady in revealing clothing.

He's on shaky ground with this theory.
