… blows himself up, he believes that he’ll now get 99 virgins in paradise (there’s your insecure male fantasy right there) or some suchlike. What if the suicide bomber was female, I’m guessing she’s not so hung up on the promise of multiple sexual partners without any possible previous sexual history. What does she have to look forward to…?
I’d have to read up to be sure; i seem to remember she’ll be reincarnated as a blue-jay, and will be able to sit and listen to her village elders reciting passages from the Koran.
As I understand it, the ‘virgins’ reward is supposed to go to all males (along with a permanent erection to cope with them), irrespective of the nature of their check-out. What women get, or even if they go to ‘heaven,’ I’ve absolutely no idea. Anyone know?
I never understood why 99 virgins (it’s 72 actually) was considered an ultimate reward.
a) after 72 sessions you’d run out of virgins, and
b) who the hell wants 72 nervous, inexperienced partners? Now, 72 sluts, I’d be tempted to strap on the TNT myself.
this is what the prophet [ not in the Koran] said awaited everyone in heaven and it was wifes and it also included 8000 servants and it is the least reward
we are having a scholarly debate aren’t we?
In seriousness,

Googling would suggest that in Paradise, “Women shall derive benefit from what they acquired” and that “they shall have whatever they wish with their Lord.”
Seems that women are a bit of a P.S. in the Qur’an, “oh yeah, they’ll be ok too”, but sounds to me like they get the better deal.
I work alongside a Muslim prison officer & a while ago this question came up about 72 virgins etc & his response was ‘It’s a pile of bollox’.
So now you know.
(actually, I’m not sure cos Faz, or ‘Fiz’ as we call him, gets drunk quite often, which is BAAD, for a Muslim)

An eternity free of persecution maybe…
I was going to say ‘get treated like equal human beings’ but then I realised this is religion we’re talking about. Never mind.
He’s not a very good Muslim to be fair, so he could be wrong. I’m not saying he’s got a drink problem but he does go on the ‘lads nights out & leaving do’s’.
Just do NOT tell his Mum, she’d be livid if she found out about his alcohol consumption.
To me though he’s one of the boyz. 😆
I would hope the CSA are forgiving in paradise.
If you want more virgins you will have to become a serial offender. The virgin rate increases on a logarithmic scale! 🙂
Do the poor girls get any choice? It’s like – we have this scrawny little bloke with no education, an excessive interest in guns and making loud bangs, and an awful lot of scar tissue, or you can have this one, scrawny little bloke…

Just goes to show the power of brain washing religion. Those of weak minds……
Probably doesn’t get into “heaven”, I’m pretty sure being gay rules that out.
Extremist heaven is probably full of dudes waiting for somebody to think on and blow up a double-decker full of virgins with their exact same idealogy..
I’d end up with a jigsaw puzzle the size if Yorkshire just for something to do
You would already be a jigsaw puzzle spread out of an area the size of Yorkshire…
