The homicidists tend to wrap their genitals in gauze, and cotton, to be
available and pure for the virgins who will service them. What sickness.

Someone once told me that this thing of the "72 virgins" was actually a
misinterpreted translation, and that the original texts might have very
well said "72 white raisins". Some googling showed that there might
actually be a linguistic background for claiming this.

And another article:
"For example, the famous passage about the virgins is based on the word
hur, which is an adjective in the feminine plural meaning simply
"white." Islamic tradition insists the term hur stands for "houri,"
which means virgin, but Mr. Luxenberg insists that this is a forced
misreading of the text. In both ancient Aramaic and in at least one
respected dictionary of early Arabic, hur means "white raisin."

Mr. Luxenberg has traced the passages dealing with paradise to a
Christian text called Hymns of Paradise by a fourth-century author. Mr.
Luxenberg said the word paradise was derived from the Aramaic word for
garden and all the descriptions of paradise described it as a garden of
flowing waters, abundant fruits and white raisins, a prized delicacy in
the ancient Near East. In this context, white raisins, mentioned often
as hur, Mr. Luxenberg said, makes more sense than a reward of sexual
favors."

I'd love to see the look on one of these blown up martyrs faces when
they find out :-D
