Dead Islamic terrorists receive raisins and Juicyfruit, not virgins
http://www.msnbc.com/news/940974.asp?cp1=1

Quote:
ARGUING THAT TODAY’S version of the Qur’an has been mistranscribed from the original text, scholar Christoph Luxenberg says that what are described as “houris” with “swelling breasts” refer to nothing more than “white raisins” and “juicy fruits.”

Makes me think of them going into Paradise and Allah being there and offering them raisins and fruits and going "HA HA!"

On the other hand, that the text mentiones the shewing-gum brand "Juicy Fruit" is evidence that the book in fact is the words of Allah. Who else could have predicted the existance of "Juicy Fruit"!?!

For obvious reasons, anyone that takes anyting in a religious scripture literary is fouled,´but at least these ones get fruits and that's not that bad.

Yeah that's right, why shouldn't they get something unhealthy instead. It's not like it will kill them to get some fat.

yeah, they drugged them, they would wake up in a palace or garden, surrounded by beautiful women and food and stuff (they thought they were in heaven), they were told that they just had to do one thing and they could spend all eternity there.

Yes, this is old news, and true. After all 'white raisins' are a sign of heaven and are referenced in Judaic texts talking about heaven as well.

actually, my first thought was that heaven for these guys, rather than being a upscale and nice "tearoom", was actually more like a kindergarten instead.

nila cookies and juice boxes, anyone?

Fruit is sure better than virigins. 'Virgins' have a tendency to give you STD:s.

The whole thing about virgins existing in Heaven is that they're in Heaven so they can't lie. (Or they can't transmit, at the least.)

If virgins in Heaven give STDs, life has lost its purpose.
