I thought the number of virgins (to be exact, "dark-eyed" virgins) was 70, not 72. Maybe I'm wrong. I dunno'. As for Mohamad's child brides, I heard he treated them as women only when they became of age.

Didn't he have a bunch of child brides, for instance? What's with the 72 virgins? The Jihad. The ok to kill "non-believers"? Sorry, I don't buy that. Incorrect interpretations, and interpretations based on an incorrect contextual time frame. And, like anything, there are good people everywhere. There are also bad people everywhere. Exactly. IMO, this is the test that God is currently subjecting to Islam. Muslim's have been very good at identifying evil outside of Islam, but very poor at identifying evil within Islam. IC
