why is to die for Islam gets 72 vestal virgins...who are CATHOLIC?

the Vestal Virgins are actually priestesses (were) and were part of ROME....(Roman Catholic). Why does a martyr for Islam get to have 72 of these....why is it that the Muslims get a Catholic as their reward?....sound hillarious to you too?...I don't think they realize it

    Nothing in the Koran specifically states that the faithful are allotted 72 virgins apiece.

    For this elaboration we turn to the hadith, traditional sayings traced with varying degrees of credibility to Muhammad. Hadith number 2,562 in the collection known as the Sunan al-Tirmidhi says,

    "The least [reward] for the people of Heaven is 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome of pearls, aquamarine and ruby."

    Who knows. Go consult their holy book. I guess killing innocent people to get 72 Catholic virgins is a good deal for them. I've actually never heard that the virgins are Catholic though?

    Wherever did you get the notion that Vestal virgins were involved? All the references I've encountered were to virgins, nothing "vestal" mentioned. Check your sources.

    Who cares. A virgin is as good as the other.

    They who believe that, neither do they know the scriptures of truth, nor do they know God.
