Extramarital sex 'causes more earthquakes'

ACCORDING TO THE TELEGRAPH, in an article by Andrew Hough, some Iranian shell-back is claiming that "Women who dress “inappropriately” incite extramarital sex that in turn cause more earthquakes".

Attractive women who snub traditional Islamic clothing to instead wear fashionable clothes and apply heavy make-up, caused youths in the country to “go astray” and have affairs, Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi said.

"Many women who dress inappropriately ... cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes," he told worshippers at a Tehran prayer service late last week.

"Calamities are the result of people's deeds.

“We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers."

Which raises the question: which Islam is to be conformed to? Somehow, you just know that old goatface has never read  “The Taqwacores” or listened to the Kominas pound away at "Suicide bomb the GAP".
