    Actually, it is a mistranslation. They don't get 72 Virgins, they actually get ONE 72 year old virgin.

    Firstly the idea behind 72 virgins isn't real

    It was made up to get young men to join armies to fight battles

    In Islam it says that everyone will be a virgin and that they will have a virgin partner

    Nothing in the Quran mentions the number of how many virgins someone gets

    Back before he went crazy, Dennis Miller pointed out that after say, ten virgins, you'd most want someone with some experience.

    Plus, do they specify that they mean beautiful female virgins ? They could get 72 pimply teen age boy Dungeons & Dragons gamer virgins...

    I wonder what orientation would be like in the Islam afterlife? How are you gonna remember 72 people? Sounds like a double edged blade.

    A muslim with a wife and four daughters will only get laid 8-times in his life.

    The prospect of getting laid 72 more times in Paradise is a dream come true.

    Allah welcomes unwanted pregnancies ... and always hopes that muhammad won't get there first.

    When will the male suicide bombers realise they are getting 72 male virgins?

    When will they realise given the wives and sex slaves given to them means the only virgins older than five are all male?!

    Definitely a punishment. Teaching a virgin to be a good lay is a chore-and-a-half.

  • 5 years ago

    If you are a straight male and they are male as well I can only see it as punishment. Then again teaching the opposite sex about the act itself can be a punishment at times as well.

    You mean 72 unbroken hymens. Good luck finding one of those in an area where they trade their own daughters for goats.
