Women who wear jeans are responsible for earthquakes: Religious leader

The mystery surrounding the true cause of earthquakes has been finally solved, women are to blame. Well that is according to a Pakistani religious leader.

A Pakistani Muslim cleric has blamed women who wear trousers for the increasing number of earthquakes, terrorism and the inflation.

Religious leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who labels women in jeans as 'immodest women' said they are responsible for the various disasters that have mauled the world.

He also went on to compare women who do not fully cover their bodies to weapons of mass destruction.

According to the leader of Assembly of Islamic Clergy political party, these women must be eliminated. He called on the Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to carry out a military operation against women who wear jean.

He said that the Taliban would not be causing havoc in their country if women were covered like 'sack of flour' and were always indoors.

"The Taliban are our brothers and their angst against the state is justified. As brother Ansar Abbasi has so eloquently put in the past: TTP's suicide bombings are just Allah's wrath upon us."

"And so there is a need to earmark and eliminate the real enemy of Pakistan: every woman who wears jeans,' he reportedly added," Rehman was quoted on DailyMail.
