I've heard one scholar say it's a misinterpetation... But it can also mean white rasins. Seriously. They want to die to have sex with dried fruit? Seriously? -grin- It goes to show you that Islamic "scholars" will say anything to cover their butts.

This was from an article that originally appeared in The Atlactic Monthly and was available online.

The real point of the article was about how rigidity in interpetation of the Koran may cause its original meaning too be lost according to scholars. (German scholars, BTW.)
