Personally, I think the 72 virgin tenet is ridiculous and I reserve the right to ridicule it at will. I was untroubled by that as well. The 72 virgin thing has become a standing joke that we associate with suicide terrorists. It's taken on a life of it's own, which has created some separation between it and the religion from which it originated. Rather like jokes about nuns aren't really digs at Catholicism. Of course, I understand that they might not feel that way in Kuwait. Karen
