"Does the Koran ever specify the sex of those 72 virgins? He could be in for a nasty surprise."

Especially when he finds out the Aramiac/Syriac word that is interpreted as virgin was mis-interpreted by whoever wrote it into the original Qu´ran. The word is an Aramiac derived word, hur which means "white", and was commony used to refer to a variatal white grape found in that region.

So all these morons are dieing for 72 white grapes in essence. What I wrote has been spoken of in many critical works on Islam and the Qu´ran. Do searches on Quran White Grapes for instance. And see the various works that will pop up.

I have mentioned this before as a joke but never thought it had an actual historical precedent. Thanks for posting this info.
