I'd like to know where Allah plans on getting 72 virgins for each martyr.
There probably aren't 72 virgins over 18 on most contintents.

I would say that it implies (logically) that a virgin woman is 72 more times as likely to get into heaven than a man.

Martyrs do NOT get 72 virgins in Islam! Where do you people hear these stupid stories?

No. This ratio is possible because most Catholic nuns will make it to heaven while very few Muslim martyrs will. And won't they be disappointed?

Damn good question!
And just what is the population of virgins in heaven? They don't make them up there do they?
And there must be age rules (?) so how many virgins over 18??
And what if you're gay? Do you get gay virgins..??
Wow, I'm confused..

I don't know if I agree. They get given to a guy. Is that really heaven?

Nowhere in the Quran does it say anyone will get virgins when they die for any reason.

Who said the virgins were going to be women?

There was a mis-translation... it's actually seventy gallons of extra virgin olive oil and two virgin daiquiris.
