Allah does promise those who fight in his Cause to be given 72 virgins in heaven, since sex is considered a reward.
Those terrorist mistaken this "cause" by killing civilians.
Some might ask, what about women, what do they get??
Allah described these women in heaven to be rewarded to those good Muslims. For Muslim women going to heaven, the reward is that women in heaven who Allah described will be jealous of the Muslim women going to heaven.

it's a brainwashing tactic the fundamentalists use to get people to do what they want. These people believe that because they have been told over and over.
I love how they say 75 virgins like they would be nobodies. Nameless random virgin women. Yeah, thats my idea of heaven to serve some disgusting guy for eternity.

And most importantly: how come these virgins are so good in bed? Wouldn't a wack of experienced girls be a more appealing promise?

If you're silly enough to blow yourself up for something that paltry, then you're a front runner for the Darwin Awards.
What happens to the virgins after they're used up? Are they auctioned at a Paradise Carboot Sale?

As far as I know, I have never run accross that in Islamic Religious writings. Although I am of arabic descent I am A Christian (Catholic Specifically) and my direct family has always been Catholic.
Depsite that there are member of my extended family (Second Cousin and Below) who are Islamic and who have said that only a fool interpets the Quran in that matter . I believe it to be Urban Legend.

I'm not sure--but as a woman, I've decided that my hell would be to be one of the 72 virgins given to someone who is willing to kill over religion.
What do the virgins do to deserve this eternal fate? : (
(Of course, Allah would have to supernaturally restore my hymen...)

Someone who dies only to kill innocent people is not doing so for their religion.
Somone who dies truly for their own religion is not a terrorist because no religion preaches terror.

I keep telling people with bad eyesight need to use the LARGE PRINT dictionary.
This is a good example of what happens when people mix up the word "Martyr" with "Murder"

I think it is more of a genetic pool cleansing.
Forgive me if I seem harsh, however I think only the stupid ones are recruited to kill themselves.
Get A Grip.

Why do Christians think that God will give all of them a seat next to him in Heaven when they die?
