princess - your husband must be so proud of you....
Freakin hilarious question....certainly, if you convert and martyr yourself, you will get a crack at Virgin Mary! After all, she probably is one of the only 72 virgins left in the universe!

The bible refers to a virgin birth, most Christian churches believe in the virgin birth, but Catlolics are the only major group who believe in the virgin Mary. That is they believe (despite the disciples referring to Jesus' mother and brothers in the bible, and Jesus brother James being a historical figure and an early leader of Jewish Christians in Jerusalem. Some argue the brothers are from an earlier mother who died and left Joseph a widower. However if this were true there would still be no reason why Mary would have not have had more children after having Jesus, or would not at least have attempted to. This would be the normal thing to do for a married Jewish woman.
Islam does not recognize the virgin birth, but they do recognize Jesus as a profit, the Koran refers to Jesus as a profit and miracle worker and instructs it followers to read the Gospels. Jesus spiritual teaching are part of Islamic tradition.

I would seriously doubt it since the virgin birth story is a result of a translation error from the original Greek texts. She wasn't a virgin in the original story.
