I'm wondering if anyone here is Muslim, or is greatly knowledgeable about the Muslim religion. My one question is...What is the story of the 72 virgins waiting for Muslim martyrs?
Were they humans that lived on earth and died or were they created just for the Muslim martyrs? Do they have any life outside being virgins waiting for martyrs? What awaits female Muslim martyrs in the afterlife? 72 male martyrs?
Once a virgin has slept with a martyr, do they go on to a productive afterlife, or do they cease to exist?
Also, why virgins? I guess no one wants to be with someone that's slept with every guy on the block, but certified virgins seems kind of weird too--especially if the intent is to treat them all like a piece of meat and then move on to the next virgin.
If you were a sultan or someone like Hugh Hefner, won't you be moving down going to 72 virgins?
Also, why 72? Isn't that a rather small number for eternity? I mean, one a year and the martyr is through in 72 years, then a thousand years later he'll be looking on enviously at the guy that went with one only every 200 hundred years.
Please answer these questions if you are Islam or know a lot about Islam.
Oh, no!! I must be a dead Muzzie!!
Stupid, misinformed, brainwashed, insane, envious, satanic, and evil.
The epitome of a liberal
Islam is all about sexual perversion. If you went to war with a terrorist group of muslims.... and you killed everyone of them without them killing any of your people.... but if they were able to rape just one woman during the process they would be convinced they won the war. Rape, incest, sexual perversion.... it is who they are.
I have a Koran in the living room. If you have a chapter and verse I can look it up.
My husband (now deceased) received it as a gift from his Saudi Muslim workers for all his good work. The Koran is considered an "appropriate" gift to expatriates.
Money, cars, watches, etc., were NOT allowed as gifts from the contractors to ARAMCO employees for work given out. TOO easy for bribery...only the Koran.
“If you were a sultan or someone like Hugh Hefner, won’t you be moving down going to 72 virgins?”
Not a Muslim, but am wondering what would cause you to think Hefner ever slept with a virgin?
The only path to an after-life is through Jesus.
Jesus said, “I am the way and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.”
Sorry to disappoint you, but Salvation comes from accepting Jesus as your Savior. It has nothing to do with being or not being a certain kind of person. There are many Muslims who have given up Islam by finding the truth about Jesus.
Maybe they are sows.
Actually, people don't kill themselves in war over myths.
There seems to be a built in or hardwired need for God/gods in humans since the beginning of recorded history. Hence the relative ease with which some huckster can convince them that he has the way.
Islam's staying power has much to do with the fact that it is probably designed by Satan (yep, evil actually does exist too).
That said, someone spreading the Truth is going to encourage his followers to examine it--test it--to make sure it is True.
Islam actually forbids its followers from examining it.
Their women will be 60 feet tall. What exactly will they be doing with them?
Islam is a lot less theologically complex than your questions seem to indicate. The whole idea comes from a single line of text in the Koran, and there is no elaboration on the idea after that.
Islamic “scholars” have of course taken it upon themselves to expound on the idea, but mostly they seem to simply debate the exact number of virgins that will be provided, as there is some controversy on that point due to possible copying errors.
Once a virgin has slept with a martyr, do they go on to a productive afterlife, or do they cease to exist?....Ahh, Grasshopper. The virgin loses her hymen after sleeping with the murderous barbarian and he goes on to find the next one. The Holy Koran says only the Martyr goes to Heaven. The despoiled virgin is rejuvenated with a new hymen. The Martyr, poor dumb sap is faced with her again, in the future. “YOU POOR EXCUSE FOR A PIECE OF SKIN”... and from there he has entered Hell and the Jews and Infidels get their licks. So saith Mohammed.
Mohamhead (pissBUH) also gave an odd description of the houri, saying they were "65 cubits in height". One cubit = length of forearm from elbow to tip of middle finger, so them's some big gals.
Look up houris....It’s 1648. Oh, wait.
Why 72?
Follow the logic: 72 = 9 x 8 and 6 x 12
9 - 8 = 1 and 8 - 6 = 2
2 - 2 = 00 and 2 x 1 = 11
Put it all together and you get 9/11/2001.
Makes perfect sense to me.
1 John 2:22: Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist,
Surah 17:111
And say: Praise be to Allah, who hath not taken unto Himself a son, and Who hath no partner in the Sovereignty, nor hath He any protecting friend through dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence."
=================================
Muslims didn't dislike Jesus.
Muslims just didn't think He was the Son of God.
NEITHER did the Jews.
