I found this a most curious observation on your part. Where exactly did you read this?
It has been my understanding that the "72 Virgins" referred to is not literal.
The number "72" refers to a large number, perhaps a number to large to define. It is akin to someone in the Western cultures saying, you can have “zillions” of something.
The passages suggest rewards of "72 Pleasures", not virgins.
I don’t think there are any restrictions, constraints, or conditions placed on which pleasures so of course an untold number of virgins could fulfill the promise but so could many other things.
“a Houri is a whitish beautiful virgin”....
Hmmmm....sounds racist.
KI stand corrected...
Maybe the “rewartd” for women blowing themselves up is less punishment ???
In Islam women are less than dogs..

A moderate Muslin only cuts off half your head.
The Koran:
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Sura (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."
Sura (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Sura (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah"
Sura (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember."
Sura (9:14) - "Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace..."
Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
Sura (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"
Sura (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness."
Sura (47:4) - "So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make them prisoners,"
Sura (61:4) - "Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way"
Sura (66:9) - "O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end
From the Hadith:
Muslim (1:33) - the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah
Bukhari (8:387) - Allah's Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’”
Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, "Kill any Jew who falls under your power."
Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
Ibn Ishaq: 992 - "Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah."
The Koran and hadiths are replete with examples of Muhammad's barbaric behavior. Robert Spencer does a good job here explaining Islam - Blogging the Qur’an Start at the bottom.
Allah awards female suicide bombers with 72 men who puck up after themselves.
Look into the many commentaries that have been written since they started discussing it among clerics in the 900’s. They have pretty much settled on 72 virgins, some clerics say there are as many as 500 and plus many concubines, which sounds like it could cause problems like Solomon had.
Most of these are as I said Hadiths that have been circulated about the Muslim circles. I should point out that it has been more lately then ever that the rewards for martyrdom has been promoted, but look into their writings as I said that date back centuries and you will see a common theme among all the Muslim clerics. Sex, Sex, and more Sex with very young girls with rather larger breasts.
Even in the video I offer you will see the Muslim men and women themselves accept it as truth and look forward to it. Boys as young as 13 are raised to think of the virgins they will be blessed with.
It’s not a matter of dispute if you begin reading the most respected clerics writings as I said.
According to troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan who have knowledge of the military prison camps, most muslim males prefer muslim males for sex. The women are for procreation. The prisons are known for “man love Thursdays.”
Maybe they get to burn 72 guys with cigarettes ?
Yes, this is truly a religion born strait out of hell.
Does your handle have anything to do with the Vikings former QB?
It does bear a resemblance.
They get 72 various style colored burqas with matching shoes. And purses too made from infidel skin!
I read on a islamic site that the male family members of a female suicide bomber get a free pass into paradise.
Nope, but I’m a huge football fan, tho much more of a college fan. Can’t wait for the season to start.
