I haven't found that part about virgins in the Koran, but there are similar verses, like this savory one: AN-NISA (WOMEN) verse 56 Lo! Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment. Lo! Allah is ever Mighty, Wise. ------------- Not surprisingly, fanatical movements are often equivocal about sexuality -- very much against, yet prone to debauching. Thus, the terrorists criticized America for being licentious, yet several of them went to visit strippers the night before the World Trade Center attacks. Bin Laden's suicide bombers spoke repeatedly of the Koranic promise that, as martyrs, they would be met, immediately, in paradise by 72 hours -- virgins with whom they will have sex for eternity, these girls' virginities being renewed after each sexual act.
