Pakistani Dancing Girls cause floods and earthquakes ....

didn't you know?

.... “It was destined to happen because Allah was angry over a festival organised in Kalam,” most women in upper Swat unanimously say.

Naseema Bibi, lost her 17-year-old son in the floods. She is convinced it was Allah’s anger over what went on at the festival. “Women danced there and you know Allah never forgives such deeds. His wrath came in the shape of floods.”.......
....But for Naseema it were the dancing women who invited trouble. Her 10-year-old son agrees with his mum. “She is right; there was music and women danced. Everyone knows floods came because of that.”

The boy never attended the festival himself and learnt about the events from his Qari (religious tutor).....

.....Tahira Noor from the National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW) says myths about women being directly responsible for any kind of catastrophe, calamity and disaster are quite prevalent and believed across the geographic divide in Pakistan.
These communities believe that bodily and societal conduct of women and girls play conducive role in maintaining and balancing the moral fabric and character of the whole society....
