Did the Earth Move for You?

Hojjat ol-eslam Kazem Sediki, an Islamic prayer leader in Iran, has blamed women's lack of hiding themselves under oppressively suffocating outfits for an increased number of earthquakes. Conveniently, he overlooked the fact that numerous bare-breasted women on many beaches throughout France have not resulted in calamitous earthquakes in the French Riviera. The resorts along Mexico's eastern shores and in the Caribbean Sea have not been swallowed by gaping fissures in the ground due to the presence of bikini-clad women. Along the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and of the Gulf of Mexico of the United States, scantily-clad women have never induced such seismic retribution for decades now. So why exactly are Iranian women the cause of terrestrial rumblings?

This cleric's remarks are typical of Islamists' knee-jerk misogyny.  The exposure of women's hair, ankles, arms or faces supposedly causes calamities. Such absurdity makes perfect sense only to buffoons who have been mind-numbed through years of Islamic indoctrination. Who has time to study geology to understand the true causes of earthquakes? These savages certainly do not since they have been pre-occupied with robotically reciting the Koran. Why study an objective science when they can parrot verses which very few of them even understand due to ignorance of the seventh century dialect of the Arabian Peninsula in which Mohamad (May he burn in Hell forever) fabricated the Koranic verses? Anyone with at least a minimal level of scientific education guffawed uproariously upon hearing Sediki's statements.

Apparently, this numbskull never considered the possibility that his country has experienced earthquakes as punishment for its Islamic regime's three decades of repression.  Certainly a just deity would avenge the frequent stonings of women who report being raped but cannot clear the ridiculous hurdle of proof required by Sharia that four male witnesses observed the crime. Additionally, a wrathful god

would surely punish those who flog women because a few strands of hair peeked through the tents mandated as "appropriate garments" by Islamists like Sediki. Divine retribution is due to the ruling clerics for their continued repression of democracy and secularism advocates.

Such admonishments seem even more hypocritical considering the practice of "temporary marriages" sanctioned by the Islamic régime.  Iranian men pay women to sign contracts of marriage which stipulate when their marriage will end and how much the women will receive as compensation. These matrimonial farces often last for just a few days, frequently for a mere hour or two. This institution isde factoprostitution promoted for unmarried young males, especially among those studying to become Islamic clerics in the city of Kom. These arrangements including written documents between the johns and the whores only give a phony veneer of legitimacy in the eyes of the Islamists but not to any clear-thinking person.

Sediki's ranting has further illuminated the dangerous insanity of the Islamic regime. With such ignorant leaders in charge of this totalitarian regime, how can anyone in the Free World not shudder at the thought of these barbarians safely handling radioactive materials for use in a nuclear power program? Of course, anyone subscribing to the Iranian disinformation about wanting a nuclear power program for peaceful civilian use certainly lacks the wisdom to see through the Iranians' lies anyway.
