Pakistani mullah asks military to launch operation against women wearing jeans

[NaturalHigh]

During a press conference at a local hotel in Islamabad, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islami Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman asked the Pakistani armed forces to launch a military operation against women wearing jeans all over Pakistan.

According to him, the immodesty of women is the cause behind earthquakes, inflation and other kinds of disasters.

Fazlur Rehman went on to say that a woman who is not covered like a 'sack of flour' is a mobile weapon of mass destruction for her state and that Pakistan has multitude of such nuclear missiles in all its major cities.

Rehman then blamed 'immodest women' for the Baluchistan crisis, lack of energy supply and the deteriorating security situation in Pakistan.

Seriously - not The Onion.

1. Religious patriarchs are impossible to satirize

because just when you think they've come up with the stupidest thing ever, their brethren try to top them.

The US variety isn't any better, insisting that a gay couple getting married in Massachusetts made god mad enough to cause a tornado in Oklahoma.

I know the current crop of young folks are turning their backs on these ranting assholes. Let's hope they manage to stay smart instead of getting sucked back in when they have kids.

2. I still consider myself to be (sort of) Baptist.

Our family isn't the hardcore religious nut variety, though. We never thought gays caused Hurricane Katrina or the Haitian earthquake came about because of a deal with the devil.

3. Robertson-level stupidity

is a worldwide phenomenon. The question of how people manage to become this unimaginably stupid always has the same answer - religion.
