Addi:

As I was catching up reading the prior posts, I was thinking about what islam has to say about heaven or paradise with respect to women. This in light of the latest news from Jerusalem where another female suicide bomber has struck at the beginning of Passover. I take it the men don't expect to see the women they've debauched their whole lives as part of the 72 as allah must be creating these just for them.

When I think about heaven, I think about seeing all my loved ones who have preceded me, and there is an openess, understanding and forgiveness such that all our human sin and past transgressions between one another are melted away. With the rest, I will then await those loved ones that are yet to come.

Since muslim mens' view of heaven is therefore much different from mine, do they not expect to see their mothers and sisters in the afterlife? What do they expect to happen to their souls when they die? And what do they tell muslim women about all this? As a result of not knowing the answer to all these questions, I keep wondering why muslim women don't revolt and believe that they are the solution in the end. When there are enough muslim men killed to stop the terror, there will be left, mostly women.

Can you enlighten me Addi, and perhaps touch on how other religions in the region deal with this. Thanks

Regards

Bob
