I think I heard recently that this virgin business was a typo or misinterpretation of what if really said (like 70 Blair gins - which they find they can't drink) :-)

>What is most amazing is that the virgins always remain virgins, even after sex with the chosen one (according to Koranic encyclopedic writer/interpretor/commentator Al-Suyuti)

>>Hmmm, it would seem that Islam has a good offer: Blow yourself up and become a martyr, and you'll have 70 virgins waiting for you in heaven. Beats dying slowly of cancer and going to the Christian hell, cos you don't belive in JC. No wonder there are so many takers!
