Is it because they think heaven is some kind of Abbey full of repulsive
monks babbling? Or because they deny life--hypocratically? Or do they think God must restrict physical pleasure in heaven or otherwise
he will contradict himself.It doesn't also make sense to me--why you think the pleasure of flesh is something bad??? It's Christian doctrine that FLESH implies something bad--not a Muslim(or even Jewish) one. That is one of the reason why
Christians are encouraged to be eunuchs and they are encouraged not to marry. In Heaven a Muslim will have both physical and spiritual pleasures. The highest of those pleasures will be infact spiritual--that is--they will see God. Sin doesn't exist in heaven. And we don't equate sin with flesh--unlike you. According to Islamic Theology we will be resurrected with our physical body and will go to heaven and hell with that. Women won't get 77 virgin guys. They will be satisfied with one guy--her former husband(incase she had several husbands--God will decide one of them--probably the most pious one) or incase
she is unmarried--God will get her married in heaven with a guy.
God knows best.

Their faith blinds them to the fact that god is in flesh.

Christians are not discouraged from marriage but are the greatest promoters of the Godly institution of marriage.
Here's what Jesus taught on the matter and since Christians obviously believe Jesus' words, you can see how the two concepts would tangle and why we think it is humerous being so far removed from Scripture teachings which takes one back to arguments of the history of both scriptures and religions again, right?
"The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Matthew 22:30 Holy Bible.
That means people do not get married in heaven and angels are not made to procreate therefore we will be spiritual beings and will have put off the flesh and mortality (physical body). Sex is not for spiritual fulfilment of a body that's no longer physical.

On a side note...
Many beliefs have thought that physical pleasure was a bad thing. Some asian beliefs held that one must distance oneself from their physical body and physical pleasures in order to attain enlightenment.
On the other hand...
The Kama Sutra is an asian book that talks about how sex is a spiritual act. I think it should be more widely read in westren society. People seem to think of it like some huge porno or something, but actually I think it would be great for couples to read. It's not nearly as bad as it seems.

Why are some moronic Muslims blowing themselves in a faulty and incorrect assumption they're going to be rewarded with suggested seventy seven virgins? phraseology a question with an brazenly hostile tone receives you no the position with maximum persons. Now to the middle of your question. the position are those attacks from Christians coming from and ought to you grant examples? I were a Christian all my existence and by no skill once, in any service, has there been any fact attacking yet another faith for his or her conception in heaven/nirvana/enlightenment, so i'm curious as for your source for those attacks. that is large you're asking for a Christian's attitude because you've your data entirely incorrect. Nowhere, in any denomination, are we inspired to castrate ourselves and by no skill marry. by the way the initial historic references for eunuchs comes from historic Sumeria/Assyria/Persia (circa twenty first bce, over 2,000 years previously Christ) - a markedly Muslim component to the globe right now. decrease back to the issue, Christians attempt to stay a existence reflective of the training of Jesus Christ. And in elementary words with the help of the grace of Jesus can we enter heaven. Heaven, as defined with techniques from Jesus, is a house with many rooms, or a ceremonial dinner the position we will be seated at His accurate hand (a extreme honor) yet ultimately heaven is being interior the presence of the Lord. that is in elementary words defined in actual words to entice close a theory too large for our minds to appreciate, yet no you'll somewhat say heaven will be "this".

It is because the concept of physical pleasures in Heaven limits God. God has a lot more pleasure in store for us than just physical sex. Otherwise He's not a very bright God.

The only thing you will feel in heaven is disappointment if you continue to hope
to have sex up there(that is if you ever make it) Another thing is, if a Muslim guy wants 77 virgins, and all the women are taken to their husbands, who will you have sex with? Your reasoning is pretty moronic.

It probably has a lot to do with the whole goal of Christianity being to transcend the flesh, that the body is "bad" and "unclean". I think a lot of their issues with gay people and premarital sex stem from this too. It's all very silly to me, personally.

Why would God counter His own 10 commandments.
The logic and logistics don't match your concept of heaven. Adultry is adultry. On earth or heaven !!!

It has nothing to do with what you think happens after you die.
It has everything to do with Muslims believing that the path to Paradise is paved with non-Muslim bodies.
