A Muslims Reward

[rFink]

Was wondering what the woman who helped slaughter the folks in California would receive in "Paradise" ( term for Islamic heaven).  Knowing the commonly repeated information that a man would get 72 virgins.......  Searched the internet and found an Islamic site that addressing the reward given to good Muslim women.  Was surprised to find out that according to their teaching that "the lowest" person who made it to "Paradise" would receive as a reward (man or women):

1.   72 Spouses
2.   80,000 servants  (PS if one billion make it thru it would take 10,000 times the population on the earth now to make servants for the worthy.)
3.   A house built of pearls.....
4.   Land equivalent to  ,,,,somewhere to somewhere...  sounds like a lot.....
5.   PLUS:   Anything you want, carnal or material......  snap you fingers..... there it is......my, my

What is not to like?    If you believe this what would you have to lose...   
Just some facts to bring a little light to what we are looking at.

It is often noted how odd the alliance between progressives and Islam is considering how radically different they are in world view.

Ultimately though they are both nihilistic philosophies.

It seems that the Islamic death cult has just achieved nihilism through a different means than the progressive movement.

They both wish to destroy reality.

Question for the resident females among us: Would any sane woman (actually, or man, for that matter) really WANT 72 spouses?

Of course, with 80,000 servants to pick after them, I guess it wouldn't be too bad ...

How about: do you want 72 virgins? One would be more than enough, imagine trying to make 72 people happy.

Nobody sane wants 72 spouses.

I don't think the happiness of the 72 spouses is a concern among those who die to earn them.

Yet another item that is so very different from Christianity about Islam. In Christian heaven, we are promised eternal satisfaction of our desire to fellowship with God and others. In Islamic paradise, the true believer is promised eternal satisfaction of his base physical desires, acted out upon, presumable, other sentient beings.

And 72 sets of inlaws.

If I remember correctly, the "72 virgins' are actually houris.

Think "spiritual sex bot", and you won't be far off

I prefer this version:

    After getting nailed by a Daisy Cutter, an ISIS martyr made his way to the pearly gates. There, he is greeted by George Washington.

    “How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!” yells Mr. Washington, slapping the former terrorist in the face. Patrick Henry comes up from behind: “You wanted to end the Americans’ liberty, so they gave you death!” Henry punches the jihadist on the nose. James Madison comes up next, and says, “This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!” He drops a large weight on the Islamic extremists’s knee.


    The ISIS martyr is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe and 65 other 18th-century American revolutionaries. As he writhes on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up to hurl him back toward the gate where he is to be judged.

    As the former terrorist awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams, “This is not what I was promised!”

    An angel replies: “I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you. What did you think I said?”

I wonder if in the cosmos women in the same house hold pull the synchronized cycles thing....

Huge difference in the teaching of Mohammad,  80,000 servants to answer you beck and call,
Jesus:  "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant." 
Yes I would say there is quite a difference.

Sounds like hell to me.

you know, I've always figured that is a big reason that the whole multiple wives thing has a limited place in the cultures where it shows up and it it's mostly involves high status males with enough money to isolate all those women and keep them locked away.

Big difference between an institutional belief and a handful of weirdos.

Hell, I'm not even sure why I'm responding to this.  Nothing I hate more than legitimizing statistical anomalies.   Did you know that X percentage of the planets population still live hunter gatherer style?

If they have a cycle - it is paradise, after all.

The real question - do the martyrs for Allah learn to use apostrophes?

The correct place for learning about Muslim beliefs is a copy of the protocols of the elders of Zion - if you just assume that book was about Muslims you'll be on the right track

Heh.

I also like to learn about Christianity from the writings of Maimonades and Mohammed.  [Or "M&M" as I like to refer to them--not to be confused with eminem.]
