Lemme see if I got this straight, Fred. I thought they were beyond nuttiness before but you have opened up a whole new vista of the bizarre.
These half-baked barbarians are strapping bombs to themselves for 72 white raisins to be served up in a garden of flowing waters?
Drop in again sometime, Fred.
They are taught, in their ubiquitous madrassas, that it's 72 virgins. According to Islamic scholars, (and/or authorities on the Koran), the virgin notion derives from a faulty interpretation (or copy/transcript) of the Koran, quite a long time ago. The original (it is claimed) says 72 raisins, although I've never heard just what's so special about white raisins.........and for sure, the radical recruiters of suicide bomb volunteers realized that fact also. As you rightly point out, no young male is going to blow himself up for raisins!
Therefore, if the correct "word of Allah" was "raisins," then the error in transcribing that changed the passage to "virgins" was in the interests of terror recruiters. So they left it that way. Makes sense........but only from the perspective of people with a mentality similar to those who believe in tooth fairies and Santa Claus.
