So Muslim men are told that if they die for Allah, that there will be, what is it, 60 I think, virgins waiting for them in paradise.
There have been a few female bombers. What do they supposed to get when they die?
A less than fair and unbiased send up by Fox News.
Unfair? Uhm, ok. First, the term was started by the Bush administration, not FOX, second, that doesn’t answer my question.
So if it’ll make you happy, what is supposed to happen to a female Suicide bomber in the afterlife?
the popular opinion doesnt specifically say FEMALE virgins.
whos to say they wouldnt get male virgins?
im looking in my copy of the koran right now to see if i can find anything else.
Well, that’s true, but when you think about guys dying and being promised virgins, you pretty much assume females, but yes, I guess it’s not expressly stated, just implied, but I guess females could be promised male virgins, but that just doesn’t seem likely, seeing how, like with most polygamist religions, a man having multiple wives, concubines, or whatever is common, but a woman having multiple men is kind of rare.
hom·i·cide n.
- The killing of one person by another.
- A person who kills another person.
bomb·er n.
- A combat aircraft designed to carry and drop bombs.
- One who makes and sets off bombs.
Thus, a homicide bomber, when refering to a person, is a person who kills another person by making and setting off bomb(s). McVeigh was a homicide bomber. Kaczynski was a homicide bomber. People who blow themselves and others up are homicide bombers.
However, since the point of this thread is neither McVeigh nor Kaczynski nor any of the other many people who have blown other people up but not themselves, might we just stick with the term suicide bomber which is more specific and more correct? I’m all for calling a square a rectangle, but lets be specific and call it a square, OK?
It’s curtains for them.
At least that’s what Cecil says: Does the Koran really promise Islamic martyrs 72 virgins?
Sorry. 
Ok, that pretty much answers my question. Thank you femtosecond.
Ah, but can’t you just picture a suicide bomber reaching the afterlife and finding himself surrounded by 72 guys who were forbidden to have sex until he got there.
Are you sure that the original arabic word didn’t preclude guyness, no matter what the english version implies.
She gets to be one of the 73 virgins given to the guy.
