Re: Women blamed for Earthquakes!

seriously though ,this nutter doesn't think to place some blame on the iranian males that are being promiscuous with the females ,he doesn't think to blame the lack of investment in the countries infrastructure to make it earthquake proof ,and if he must use religion to explain the earthquakes then maybe it's Gods displeasure at the way Iran conducts itself generally

Young Iranians sometimes push the boundaries of how they can dress, showing hair under their headscarves

Showing hair! Some people eh. The cheek of it.

Well.... I guess the geographers and geologists are now out of business. Earthquakes caused by slutty women and sexually repressed blokes. So much for that plate tectonics theory.... :erm:

I have to say, reading crap like the above does reinforce the view that religion isn't too far removed from mental illness. Mr Hojjat ol-eslam Kazem Sediqi certainly seems to be utterly delusional, and have little grasp on reality.... :rolleyes:

Re: Women blamed for Earthquakes!

You hear the exact same argument in Saudi that women are the downfall of men, these morons place zero responsibility on men its purely the womans fault if anything should happen to her...she inflamed the male.
Don't men have any restraint in these two backwards countries? Its yet another example of how women are treated as second class citizens in these countries.
Any where else in the world this cleric would be given psychiatric help, not listened to with respect.

Delusional ranting such as is presented by Mr Hojjat ol-eslam Kazem Sediqi, is not limited to insane old men in Saudi, Iran and other Islamic countries where the god-squad rule with ignorance, brianwashing and fear.... One only need to listen to delusional retards like Jerry Falwell et al....

Time for a Boobquake.

On Monday, April 26th, I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own. Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town. I encourage other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts. Or short shorts, if that's your preferred form of immodesty. With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake. If not, I'm sure Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn't rumble. And if we really get through to him, maybe it'll be one involving plate tectonics.

What I find really distasteful about these so called religious experts in Iran and Saudi is their respective governments totally supine attitude to these morons, nobody is allowed or even dares to question their medieval attitudes because they are seen as "gods messengers" on Earth, so they can peddle their misogynist rubbish and answer to nobody...how can any society expect to prosper and evolve under these conditions?
At least in a democracy the likes of Falwell and Robertson are held up to public scrutiny and debate, and when they come out with the sort of rubbish posted above, public ridicule.

Well, the state of play in places like Saudi and Iran are the consequences of either a theocratic leadership, with civil govenrment tacked onto the ass. Or as you have in Saudi, a weird mix of theocracy and monarchy, that are interdependant on one another. Both countries have their own religious police, and as a consequence, both countries are a boiling mess of discontent....

As to those excreable evangelical ass-hats in the US.... As Mr Christopher Hitchens put it so elloquently. Put Reverend or Father infront of a delusional, maniacs name and watch them become rich and infulencial.... :rolleyes:

Sadly though there are very many sane and sensible Imams who are smeared by association and comparison to such nut jobs. In fact this is a tendency in all religious communities.

On the positive side Maggy even the Daily Hate are having trouble dredging up an iman like the one in question in any British mosques, and I doubt very much its not for the want of trying, surely a great sign.:)

Including, I may add, the western idea of sexual equality. IIRC, and I hope someone will try hard to proove me wrong. One Imam was of the opinion that no matter how intelligent, well educated and how good a job a woman had. She would never be equal to a man, as she still menstrates.... As I said elsewhere, religion verges on delusion.

If not hopefully it won't be long before these ignorant, generally old men who can't or won't integrate into western culture wither on the vine, at least then the younger imans who will follow will have been born and brought up in Britain and hopefully have a more enlightened outlook.

The imam I refered to previously was young (mid to late 30's I'd guess), and trained in a university in Saudi Arabia in their horrible Wahhabi tradition....

Re: Women blamed for Earthquakes!

I love it when people present themselves as bastions of morality and start wagging their fingers at others over immoral sex. It's so weak.

Religion is a form of government and sexual morality is often used to ply influence into peoples lives.

Looks like the cleric was right...

Launched by the 22-year-old Indiana student last week, Boobquake was a response to claims by Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi that women "who do not dress modestly" lead men astray, spread adultery and thereby increase earthquakes.

Some might say it was inevitable that, just as women worldwide were preparing to show off their assets, an actual earthquake would occur in some corner of the globe…. which it did, in Taiwan.

Ahhhhh.... Fox News, a bastion of truth and journalistic integrity....

Though I did find this rather funny....

Quote:

"The public expects us to act firmly and swiftly if we see any social misbehavior by women, and men, who defy our Islamic values," Brigadier Hossien Sajedinia said.

"In some areas of north Tehran we can see many suntanned women and young girls who look like walking mannequins," he continued. "We are not going to tolerate this situation and will first warn those found in this manner and then arrest and imprison them."

To be followed up by rape in prison, as is alleged to have happened to female democracy protestors ?
