Osama bin Laden's most recent video advised Americans to convert to Islam. To increase the number of converts (among men anyway) maybe he ought to better publicize the attractions of heaven in Islam. As I understand it, men are rewarded in the afterlife with 72 virgins at their beck and call. More than a few red-blooded US guys might start thinking "Hmmmm...I like the sound of that!"
But what does heaven offer to Muslim women? Do they have a similiar scenario waiting for them? Instead of 72 raven-haired virgins do they get 72 hunks? Is their heaven full of hot guys who look like they were just whisked up out of an issue of Playgirl?
Does the Muslim version of St. Peter usher women into a big palace filled with Chippendale dancers?

"As for the righteous...We shall wed them to beautiful virgins with lustrous eyes" Q 44:51-54
"The least reward for the people of paradise is 80,000 servants and 72 wives" Al-Tirmidhi 2562 2687
Of course, maybe my copy of the Quran is a bogus one meant to confuse and deceive - published somewhere here in "the Great Satan" - America.
Unlikely.
It is not my intent to insult Islam. Of all the worlds religions ideas of what constitutes "heaven" I'd have to say Islam's ain't too bad! Sounds like it sure beats the heaven of the Puritans!

Are women promised or houris? Are houris humans or are they supposed to be nymphs or angels? Muslims say women will get whatever they want. What do women want? If men and women can get what they want in heaven what if what they want is something illicit or immoral? Now for my answer: It seems to me that Islam is a very naturalistic religion that describe life after death as not really very different from a luxurious life on earth sans the troubles.

Neither it is written in Quran that Muslim martyrs will get 72 women in heaven nor Prophet Muhammad ever said any such thing.
It is western propaganda that does this propaganda against Muslims to giscredit Islam. But even this false propaganda is working in favor of Islam, because more and more Christians are converting to Islam.
Now you guys think of this else to defame islam.

.. And what happens after they're done with the 72 virgins? They obviously wouldn't be virgins anymore, but it doesn't say anything about replacing them for new ones, lol.

For their sake I hope so. Maybe even Chris Farley dons the chippendale's outfit just to give them giggles. However, I doubt it. Heaven for them is probably eternity of servitude. Deferring to the same men who ruled their lives while on earth.
I just have to question the mindset of someone whose idea of heaven is taking someone's virginity, then hoppin' over to the next one etc...
To me, heaven is about being fully with G-d. Not having sex.
Ask most women about losing their virginity, usually you get the same response..it wasn't good. It hurt. etc..
Who are these "Heavenly" virgins?
And why would they spend all their time in heaven waiting for a bearded man to die just to have sex with them? that's not really a heavenly purpose.
Seems bizarre that G-d/allah would create a living being just for sex in the afterlife.
More importantly, what happens after they give their virginity to a man who just made it to 'heaven'? Do they cease to exsist?

The Quran never says that Muslim men will receive 72 virgins in heaven. Where did you read this?
Please don't insult us. Please!
