<< In another Koranic passage, it is said that the martyrs and virgins shall "delight themselves, lying on green cushions and beautiful carpets." >>

It just shows how really stupid these Arab martyrs really are. They don't ask for a little virgin delight, up front. They can only get this great sex, after they die!

So, with the vision of boobies in their heads, they strap a bomb to their chest and go off blow themselves up, among innocent men, women and children. That's probably the only way their leaders can get these bufoons to strap a bomb to themselves! Unfortunately, innocent people get hurt.

Try as I might, I can't find those seventy-two virgins mentioned in the Koran:

islam101.com

islam101.com

The closest thing seems to be in chapter 55, but that seems to be a description of heaven generally, and not specific re how to get there, nor the number of virgins.

So I assume the terrorist are relying upon an interpretation of what's actually in the Koran? Or can somebody cite a specific verse?

It seems to me those guys are going to be severely disappointed.
