What is the significance of the number "72" aside from the implication that it is "a lot" of pleasure in Heaven? Do you think it is insensitive to suggest that Osama bin Laden will get a lot of pleasure in Heaven? I was just wondering, because that's what I suggested.

My goodness! I always wished you would write longer posts. I must say this is unexpected, however. I am really impressed with your scholarship. At the same time, I meant no harm. It was kind of a toss-off post, just a riff on an article I read in Time or Newsweek which did analyze the original language and determine that it was raisins, not virgins. I am really sorry if I offended you, or any Muslims. I am not serious all the time. It was not intended as any kind of insult towards anyone, although it was suicide bombers I was talking about as perhaps being ultimately disappointed, not Muslims in general.
