Natural Disaster and people to blame

Many women who do not dress modestly... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes.
--Hojjatoleslam Kazem Seddiqi

We can avoid earthquakes if the faithful and devoted people pray to God.
--Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, Head of Iran's Guardian Council

Seriously whats on their mind and how the country's people choose them as leaders. Wonder if they even complete their primary school education.

Earthquake is unpredictable hard to predict simply because there are so many factors that affect it, seismic activities, EM fields, (gas) content of grounds, water level... you can imagine the complexity to include all these variable to come out with an equation/model to predict the next quake.

Just because its difficult to predict, or the current science and tech still unable to predict accurately, we must therefore conclude that natural disasters are controlled by celestial forces.

A simple wiki search will gives u the information about earthquake predictions methods, and scientific efforts being done since ancient civilization to now.

Haha, I like the Boobquake organized by Jen McCreight. But I doubt the message will reach to those Iranian leaders any near time. You know, information censorship. Maybe 5 or 10 years later, maybe...


Side note:
I wonder why all these kind of narrow-minded-thinking always happen on educated leaders. Some of them even had their University degree (in Computer and Science)!

Few examples:
1. Iceland volcanic was caused by Allah for infidels.

Their houses were empty and in ruins, because they did wrong... A devastating volcanic eruption sent by Allah, paralyzed all movement, and a state of emergency was declared, and passenger flights were cancelled, and it struck the Infidels and polytheists with fear and terror...
-- Palestinian religious leader

2. Indonesian minister links TV broadcast with natural disaster.

Television broadcasts that destroy morals are plentiful in this country and therefore disasters will continue to occur.
-- Tifatul Sembiring

3. Haiti "a very dark place".

“There is no doubt that Haiti is a very dark place, where voodoo and all kinds of idolatry and all kinds of dark magic, all kinds of enslaving forms of religious belief are very prevalent,”
-- Albert Mohler

Seriously...
