We have discussed the phenomenon of hymen restoration surgery for Muslim women to appear more like virgins for their wedding night, and how it is illegal in many Arab countries. But since it can save the lives of many women who might be murdered by their new husbands, the procedure is even covered by British national health insurance. But now, there is a cheaper method. ... This capsule is similar to a Chinese device ... that performed the same function, when an Egyptian cleric demanded that any bride found to be using it should get the death penalty.

BRITISH virgin girls as young as 12 are being sold to mega-rich Arabs for sex at up to £50,000 a time. Parents force the schoolgirls into prostitution and then sell them to millionaire paedophiles. Vice Squad cops nicked three women and a man from Manchester after secretly filming them offering to pimp six girls aged between 14 and 23 at a five-star West London hotel. They also taped the gang bragging how they were prepared to peddle even younger, prepubescent girls.

The Forever Virgins Even before the Catholic Church had nuns, it had consecrated virgins. And, today, women like Kathy Reda are choosing and reviving this largely forgotten vocation. They're walking down the aisle and betrothing themselves to God.

... one proposal that arose was to preempt jihadist motives by providing them with 72 virgins now. Why want for Paradise when you can get your gals today? The program would be based in the United States, and located somewhere close to plentiful supplies of strip bars, liquor stores, and BBQ pork restaurants (bear with me on this). New Orleans might be a good candidate for a location, and I know they would like the federal dollars that come with it.

A virgin birth is expected this Christmas, though this particular nativity scene will be set in a zoo instead of a stable.

Political pundits have long speculated on the cause of the downturn of suicide bombings in Israel. Some have posited that the credit belongs to Ariel Sharon's iron fist. Others have claimed the cause was Arafat's death. However, a new theory has surfaced, and most of the public has accepted the idea as the most likely to be the proximate cause: there are no virgins left in heaven. "This is most devastating," said Allah during a sit-down interview. "There were so many suicide bombings that all the virgins were used up before I could generate more. I cannot keep up with...

Islamic Heaven officials have announced a major policy shift which could significantly impact upon proclaimed jihads across the world. The Virgins for Martyrs program, a central tenet of jihadist philosophy for more than a thousand years, has been cancelled. “Allah has made the decision. We won’t be housing any more suicidal jihadists,” Islamic Heaven spokeswoman, Sukai Sanchez told the media. “So the virgins are no longer needed.” This dramatic shift in policy is not unexpected. Just last year Brainsnap reported that Islamic Heaven officials were finding it difficult to recruit the necessary virgins to satisfy the increasing number of suicide...

Muslim, Christian holidays in Israel nothing more than campaign opportunity for politicians Jews usually mix-up Ramadan with Id al-Fitr. They think of Ramadan as a month-long holiday of happy fasting and dancing in the streets, whereas Id al-Fitr is some sort of undefined vagary that must represent an Islamic slaughter sometime in history. Would it really matter if Jews learned to differentiate between three happy days of this festival and the exhausting month that precedes it? Nah, don't worry about it. The Muslims will drink Coke and slaughter a sheep, just as long as they continue celebrating these strange days...

THE king of Swaziland has picked a teenage student to be his 13th bride less than a month after more than 50,000 bare-breasted virgins vied to catch his eye at the annual Reed Dance ceremony. King Mswati III, who is 37, presented 17-year-old Phindile Nkambule as his new wife-to-be at a traditional ceremony, where she appeared topless but donned the red feathers worn only by royalty for the first time.

Swaziland (Reuters) -- More than 50,000 bare-breasted virgins vied to become the king of Swaziland's 13th wife Monday in a ceremony that critics say ill befits a country with the world's highest HIV/AIDS rate. King Mswati III, sub-Saharan Africa's last absolute monarch, is due to attend the annual Reed Dance ceremony, which he has used since 1999 to pluck new brides from thousands of dancing girls dressed in little more than beads and traditional skirts.
