Quick Question on the 72 virgins....

[CFLarsen]

If a male Islamic suicide bomber gets 72 virgins....what does a female Islamic suicide bomber get?

72....young boys???

I wonder what they promise the women who bombs themselves and others to smithereens.

As a sidelight, did anyone hear Bill Maher's take on the 72 virgins business? Basically, he opined that offering someone p*ssy in the afterlife was about as low as you could go.

I know what engineer suicide bombers get.

They are guaranteed to NOT be one of the 72 virgins assigned to some other suicide bomber.

I wonder what they promise the women who bombs themselves and others to smithereens. I expect they'll take the place of the right hand of god. :D

The deal on Muslim heaven is that you get "whatever your heart desires". Anything more specific is just for example.

[Segnosaur]

They may not even get virgins. (Its possilble that that is a translation error.)

Luxenberg's new analysis, leaning on the Hymns of Ephrem the Syrian, yields "white raisins" of "crystal clarity" rather than doe-eyed, and ever willing virgins - the houris.


Mmmm.... Raisins.

Really? Where do the 72 virgins enter the picture?

(I don't know. just searching for significance.)

Ah. and one day each rotation for "personal time". That fills the entire year.

Uh, no. You can only have a virgin once. :wink:

I also liked how he said that the number 72 was an obvious sign that this was coming from a bartering and haggling culture.

Man : 100 virgins!
God : No, 50 virgins
Man : 90 virgins?
God : 60 virgins
Man : 80
God : 70
Man : 75
God : 72
Man : Sold

It's fun to think about that these people consider the west a place of sin, and still the only thing on their minds is to sleep with 72 women for an eternity.:rolleyes: And for an eternity!? Wouldn't that get kinda boring after a couple of years? Also I don't get their obsession with virgins. Why not get someone with experience, that knows what she's doing, instead of a person that's almost impossible to penetrate, and who begins to bleed on the sheets if you finally succeed? Maybe someone has an idea.

Not in the Islamic Paradise. Virgins there are renewable...

Which I suppose means you can never sleep with anything BUT a virgin. How tedious. Careful what you wish for...

Indeed.
Is there anything more decadent than blowing yourself up with the idea that you are going to get laid a lot? ;)

Then again, maybe virgins can be renewed here on earth also.

Or maybe the virgins in paradise are just technical virgins? (http://www.infinitydog.com/technicalvirgin/index.html) They would know how to give you a good time! :wink:

Edited to say you have to check out the TV commercials on that last link! Adult sense of humor required.

Mmm, 72 raisins. . .

/drool

[DaChew]

White raisins? The California Raisins made being a raisin cool and now Allah comes in and decides there's only white raisins in heaven. It's segregationism! Allah is racist! This is just like what happened with Rock and Roll. The MAN stoled it.
