72? my goodness, i thought the number was 7.
who came up with that hare brained idea...is it in the Moran?
you have to question the sanity of a people who think that a heavenly reward is taking the innocence of 72 virgins without a loving relationship. sounds kinds like what goes on in hell
kinda, I'll have to see if I can find the reference, but it's not overtly stated as such where it's obvious.
however, I have a commentary on the ha'dith and it is noted that each martyr gets a mansion with 70 houses (yes this is how it is written) with 70 rooms with 70 couches (beds) with 70 sheets, each a different color and on each a dark-eyed houri that regains her virginity each time after he has sex with her ...
70 x 70 x 70 x 70 = 24,010,000 virgins ... oy vey
maybe it's 70 mansions, 70 houses, 70 couches and 70 sheets but you get the idea. plus they are promised wine, silk and all the food they want.
apparently allah just sponsors an eternal orgy. towards that end, there is another quote where someone has stated that orgasms will last 600 years. I'm not making it up.
This commentary is written by (apparently) an Eastern Indian and he doesn't mince words. Of course, take a look at the reviews and you will see who likes it and who doesn't.
