Since the average age of girls losing their virginity these days is around 15 or 16, doesn't that automaticly make them child molesters when they get to the afterlife?

Black eyes are one of the results of a type of smallpox.

"70 wives and everlasting happiness"

Well, I just have to laugh...this sounds like a room in H#LL...tormented by 70 women...

According to Kurum, Al-Kushk also stated, "In Paradise, a believer's penis is eternally erect.

"Priapism in Paradise"

OUCH!

'The black-eyed' are white and delicate, and the black of their eyes is blacker than black and the white [of their eyes] is whiter than white. --"Where the white women at?" - Cleavon Little (Blazing Saddles)

[Lady Heron]

Great! Muslim women are still slaves in the afterlife. Somebody please explain to me why any woman would want to convert to islam??

[Sejanus]

Actually, the correct translation is "seventy black-eyed sheep"...Hoo-yah!

Approximately two weeks prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City and Washington, DC a dispute emerged between the CBS network and heads of two Islamic organizations in the US regarding the motivation of suicide bombers in Israel.

Maybe CBS is to blame for the 9/11 attacks. What say you, Dan Rather?

[RippleFire]

Glad they cleared that up!

In Islam a girl is considered a woman at 8 years and 8 months of age.

[Let's Roll]

"In Islam a girl is considered a woman at 8 years and 8 months of age."

Like the man said...child molesters.

[Brian Mosely]

Oh? I don't know that. I guess that makes it easier for perverts in that part of the world to get away with whatever vile crap they wanted to pull. "She was a woman, your honor...and it was quite legal."

I've never understood this part of their beliefs, though...if I'm going to spend the rest of eternity having sex with 72 women, I don't want it to be with a bunch of amateurs...

"Dr. Hathout described the Koran passages as nothing more than folklore, saying that such descriptions of Paradise aren't meant to be taken literally, just as many Christians do not really believe heaven has "streets paved with gold."

Is this a generalization, or has he personally been told this by "many Christians"?

[Katya]

Gosh and I thought that the arabic term "hur 'ayn", probably gave birth to the german word Huren..transalated as errr...Whores.

[Aquinasfan]

an 11-year-old boy speak to his class: "I will make my body a bomb that will blast the flesh of Zionists, the sons of pigs and monkeys... I will tear their bodies into little pieces and will cause them more pain than they will ever know." His classmates shouted in response, "Allah Akhbar," and his teacher shouted, "May the virgins give you pleasure."

Heartwarming.

[Aquinasfan]

Somebody please explain to me why any woman would want to convert to islam??

A knife to the throat? Historically, that has been the reason.

Golden streets in heaven is a far cry from 'The smallest reward for the people of Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives...'
The Muslim view of Heaven is cruel oppression for the majority of the dwellers.... the servants and wives. I have absolutely no respect for anyone who aspires to be rewarded in this way. Truly it is a promise from hell's own satan.
