In describing the rewards that God will grant to people who go to paradise, Muslims and others who followed their religions before Islam came like true believers of christianity and Judiasim, God mentions rivers of wine, honey, and milk. He also mentions sooo many rewards, including HOOR EEN (an arabic term which means "women" with beautiful eyes). For some reason, the media always mentions the term virgins to describe them, which is not really a good translation. The paradise is the ultimate pleasure for every believer; there is not limit on what and how many you get. So men and women of faith, will get all their pleasures and whatever they desire.

Same thing with the Coca-Cola Santa Claus: marketing.
Question: What's a good way to convince impressionable, horny young men to throw away their lives for your cause?
Answer: Promise them so many virgins in the after-life they wouldn't know what to do with them all. They are so busy thinking 'heavenly' thoughts they have no time to think about whether or not their actions are 'heavenly'.

The Quran mentions hoories that will be beings of heaven. It does not say that they will be females only. Women will also get hoories many scholars including Zakir Naik have said this. And they will not be the women who go to heaven. It does not say they will be virgins it says they will be chaste and untouched by any other creature and if men/women want they can have them as spouses.

This is a lie that many Middle Eastern radical leaders tell their followers to draw them into doing their bidding for suicide bombings and terrorist acts. They are more interested in having political and physical gains above their belief in Allah and are not even true Muslims.

What I have heard on tv is that if they are martyers then they get so many virgins in the afterlife. Whats really stupid about that is that when you die, you are no longer in the flesh, so what good would virgins do you anyway??
I don't think the suicide bombers have really thought this thing through.......

Anything you imagine in Jinnah(heaven) you will get. And the terrorists think they're getting into Jinnah when they'll probably go to Jahannam(hell).

It's punishment for the virgins for never getting married.
