The Virgin Mary and its complexities?

(( 19:16 And mention Mary in the Book. When she drew aside from her family to an eastern place;

19:17 So she screened herself from them. Then We sent to her Our spirit and it appeared to her as a well-made man.

19:18 She said: I flee for refuge from thee to the Beneficent, if thou art one guarding against evil.

19:19 He said: I am only bearer of a message of thy Lord: That I will give thee a pure boy.

19:20 She said: How can I have a son and no mortal has yet touched me, nor have I been unchaste?

19:21 He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord says: It is easy to Me; and that We may make him a sign to men and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed.

19:22 Then she conceived him; and withdrew with him to a remote place.

19:23 And the throes of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten!

19:24 So a voice came to her from beneath her: Grieve not, surely thy Lord has provided a stream beneath thee.

19:25 And shake towards thee the trunk of the palm-tree, it will drop on thee fresh ripe dates.

19:26 So eat and drink and cool the eye. Then if thou seest any mortal, say: Surely I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent, so I will not speak to any man today.

19:27 Then she came to her people with him, carrying him. They said: O Mary, thou hast indeed brought a strange thing!

19:28 O sister of Aaron, thy father was not a wicked man, nor was thy mother an unchaste woman!

19:29 But she pointed to him. They said: How should we speak to one who is a child in the cradle?

19:30 He said: I am indeed a servant of Allah. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet:

19:31 And He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and He has enjoined on me prayer and poor-rate so long as I live:

19:32 And to be kind to my mother; and He has not made me insolent, unblessed.

19:33 And peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I am raised to life.

19:34 Such is Jesus son of Mary — a statement of truth about which they dispute.

19:35 It beseems not Allah that He should take to Himself a son. Glory be to Him! when He decrees a matter He only says to it, Be, and it is. ))

Noble Quran, chapter 19 ..

Nowhere in the Scriptures the Bible was translated from does it say that Mary was a virgin...

She is referred to as an almah, עלמה , meaning simply "young maiden"...if the author(s) had intended to call her a virgin they would have used the word bethulah, בְּתוּלָה, which means virgin...

The reason so many Christians imagine Mary was a virgin is because the Jesus story was based on the (older) legend of Mithra, who was a man-god born in a cave, to a virgin, on 25th December, and who grew up to perform miracles for which he was put to death but subsequently "rose from the dead"...

If you do not believe in the Persian angel Zoroastra, there is no logical reason to believe in Yeshua ("Jesus", as King James' scribes renamed him in the 1600s), since it's just a retelling of the same myth...
