GREAT FREEPER QUOTE FROM THE FREEPATHON THREAD:

"A lot of people come to FreeRepublic on a daily basis for their news. Strangely, many of them never stop to think about how this site is paid for. Many have no idea that FreeRepublic is fully funded by the people who use the site.

If everyone who was registered donated $1 a month, we'd never have to have a fund raiser. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. Some people think their $5 or $10 wouldn't make a difference, but it would."

The way I heard it:

Usama bin laden found himself at the Pearly Gates confronted by George Washington. Usama ask ole George, "Is this the place I am to receive my 72 virgins?"

President Washington said, "What are you talking about?"

Usama said, "Allah promised me 70 virgins if I die a martyr while conducting a jihad against the Great Satan, America."

With a small grin easing across his face, George coldly said, "That was 70 Virginians, you IDIOT!"

Hamas schools in Gaza City, where he saw an 11-year-old boy speak to his class: "I will make my body a bomb that will blast the flesh of Zionists, the sons of pigs and monkeys… I will tear their bodies into little pieces and will cause them more pain than they will ever know."
His classmates shouted in response, "Allah Akhbar," and his teacher shouted, "May the virgins give you pleasure."

...Fills me with despair.

A 16-year-old Hamas youth leader in a Gaza refugee camp told Kelley, "Most boys can't stop thinking about the virgins."

This would be funny if it all wasn't so evil.

"The Americans and the eunuchs at their sides [i.e. the rulers of Arab and Islamic countries]… think that if they kill us, they will win," wrote Dr. Yunis Al-Astal, a lecturer in the Islamic Law Department at Gaza Islamic University, "They do not know that with their weapons they only expedite our arrival in Paradise. We yearn to reach Paradise

Uh, yeah, whatever. Have another Daisy Cutter...

If a male suicide bomber gets 72 black eyed virgens, what will a female suicide bomber get in paradise? 72 blue eyed studs, or to make the lesbians happy, also 72 black eyed virgens?

'72 Black Eyed Virgins'

This is actually a mistranslation from the original Arabic. It should read, "72 Virginians with black eyes"

[coloradan]

72 black-eyed virgins? What, does Allah beat them up first, before handing them over to each martyr?

Nothing against my wonderful wife, however, I cannot imagine retaining my sanity long were I to be blessed with 71 more of her or her like.

The trouble with all those virgins is, they just don't keep. Use them once and you have zero virgins and 72 wives on your hands, all 72 of them trying to make you into something they want you to be and you don't want to be, and this goes on for all eternity.

They call it Paradise but Paradise is supposed to be, y'know, fun?

This is hilarious, horrifying and disgusting, all at once. Are these people nuts?

If these zealots want to live and die by this verse of the Koran, then Israel needs wrap their remains in wet pig hides and bury them with hot pork grease.

As it is written, so shall it be!

Excellent read. But Allah must hate women too.

[crystalk]

The way the Muslims always are chasing fair and Nordic women, and blue eyed boys as well, I think it would have been even MORE of a reward if Allah had promised them BLUE eyed virgins, not black-eyed ones.

Islam has enough of a black eye as it is.
