Do you really believe the Quran says you get 72 Virgins if you kill Yourself?

Question

Honestly. Read the links/articles...everything before responding. If you respond saying it does, provide a link to the Surah or whatnot that says so. If you don't, youre an idiot who needs to continue chewing on your shoe.

Islam does NOT condone suicide. Even if the Quran says a martyr will get 72 virgins....look below for the definition of martyr. Nothing about SUICIDE or SUICIDE BOMBINGS.

martyr
n 1: one who suffers for the sake of principle [syn: sufferer] 2: one who voluntarily suffers death as the penalty for refusing to renounce their religion v 1: kill as a martyr; "Saint Sebastian was martyred" 2: torture and torment like a martyr [syn: martyrize, martyrise]

The fact is, Islamic fascists are like the KKK...a crazy sect of a religion that doesn't tolerate actions they have justified in their twisted minds. Stop assuming every muslim is the same

Hey, Skifaster - why don't you take YOUR intolerance and ski into a tree.

DannyK:

"Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***." (I Samuel 15:2-3)

Praise Jesus, next!

John -

yes, that is your opinion. based on no facts what so ever. the quran says to kill the enemies of islam, true. good thing the bible says different....

"And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God..." (Deuteronomy 13: 5)

"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;" (Deuteronomy 13: 6)

"Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people." (Deuteronomy 13:8-9)

Answer 1

But it does say this.

Qurán 9:5

"The Verse of the Sword"

"Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem"

And that is all I need to know.

Why did I know you would quote the Old Testament?

Since we sort of have Freedom of Religion in my country then I will choose not to honor that text.

Answer 2

I don't have time or the will to read the Quran or Surah, but I will tell you that the 72 Virgins thing is completely oblivious to the fact that the afterlife is non-physical, so such a reward is non-sense. By the way, where do the virgins come from? If a female commits such an act of terrorism....oopps, I mean suicide -- do they get 72 virgin men? God is in control of our souls not the Surah, so why would God want to assign 72 innocent females/males (probably died as children before sex) to accommodate a murderer -- which may have killed the 72 innocent virgin children to begin with? God abominates murder of innocents, so how does killing non-combatants an act of a martyr? The answer is NO, sex is irrelevant, so such a reward is null....

Answer 3

The JIhad is taken to be many things. For many muslims it is taken to be the life struggle between good and evil, morality anf inmorality, but all muslims will agree when someone says that the jihad is also the literal battle agaist the infidels. The problem is islam which is tought by a regular guy who made mistakes and fought wars and killed people. If in my religion the highest prophet killed people and he ascended into heaven then why should i get the same treatment if i kill people. Switch to christianity, true christianity, not the bush redneck
version of it

Answer 4

i agree in what you say about the Koran,
IT does NOT endorse or promote, suicide bombers . In any way

Fanatics are hiding behind religion, to wage war for their own ends (hatred and corruption)

when schooling the terrorists, some mind bending methods (including drugs) also ,so called "will of Allah" bribes, are offered , to channel the action .
.
All i can say is, these Zealots /assassins will be most disappointed, when they do get blown to smithereens ,with their victims blood upon them.
where ever they wind up, they will feel the wrath of a just God ,

they will be made answerable , for using his Name in this way.

I wonder if the innocents, torn to pieces by terrorists can be considered martyrs , for dying by the hand of these Barbarians .
though they are usually random casualties, who just happen to be in that locality ,when death is forced upon them.

I hope i have not deviated too much from your question

And thank you for all the information

Answer 5

The variety seventy two comes from a hadith, traditions and sayings of the Prophet, that asserts "The smallest advantages [each and each] for the folk of Heaven is an residing house the place there are eighty,000 servants and seventy two different halves, over which stands a dome adorned with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as extensive with the aid of fact the area from [Damascus] to [Yemen]."

Answer 6

Could you repeat the question please? No, I don't care if somebody gets 72 virgins, they can have them. If there's a heaven both my wife and I will be there. We won't be needing virgins.
(By the way, yeah, a lot of nonesense gets said about the Muslim religion. Sometimes nonsense is more interesting than the truth, that's part of the nature of our media.)
Your question was so long, I turned it over to a team of scholars to take a look at it. They'll get back with you tomorrow.

Answer 7

Marriage is a sin and having more then one wife is a sin and I don't think heaven is going to be so materialistic and full of sins, and I think the suicide boomers and Muslim extremist are all going to hell cuz god said not to kill. And think they should be nuke before the killed any more people we will killed some innocent people, but that didn't stop use from nuking Japan. But that’s only my opinion.

Answer 8

Every muslim may not be the same, but they all say they believe the same book. The problem arises when their book contradicts itself. That's what creates the myriad islamic sects.

I can't disagree with you about Islamic fascists being like the KKK and having twisted minds. You got my vote on that.

Answer 9

I think religion is used to exploit people. I don't renounce god, but I think people should be more critical of their own religion.
People have a way of twisting what the prophets have said and they evened warned us of it.

History has also taught us that propaganda is commonly used to alienate the so called "enemy". When will history stop repeating??

Answer 10

Suicide bombing is simply the martyrdom-du-jour of the Islamist world, thereby creating the idea that Islam teaches the immediate 72 virigins stuff for suicides.

Answer 11

All muslims are the same and should be eliminated for believing in a religion that is so intolerant of others who do not accept Islam.
