THANK YOU.
WHO IS MUHAMMAD?
Muhammad was born in Makkah in the year 570, at a time when
Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. Since his father
died before his birth, and his mother shortly afterwards, he was
raised by his uncle from the respected tribe of Quraysh. As he grew
up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity and
was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. The
historians describe him as calm and contemplative. Muhammad was of a
deeply religious nature, and had long detested the decadence of his
society. It became his habit to contemplate from time to time in the
Cave of Hira near the summit of Jaba al-Nur, the ‘Mountain of Light’
near Makkah.
HOW DID HE BECOME A PROPHET AND A MESSENGER OF GOD?
At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat,
Muhammad,peace be upon him, received his first revelation from God
through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for 23
years, is known as the Quran. As soon as he began to recite the words
he heard from Gabriel, and to preach the truth which God had revealed
to him, he and his small group of followers suffered bitter
persecution which grew so fierce that in the year 622 God gave them
the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijra, ‘migration’, in which
they left Makkah for the city of Madinah some 260 miles to the north,
marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar.
After several years, the Prophet and his followers were able to return
to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies and established Islam
definitively. Before the Prophet died at the age of 63, the greater
part of Arabia was Muslim, and within a century of his death Islam had
spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China.

Which raises the point as to how those 72 virgins in heaven feel
about being allocated as shagging-fodder?

1. It appears they are recycling the virgins.
2. No one says anythign about virgin gender.
3. No one says that there is a shortage of virgin sheep anyway.
4. If there is a virgin sheep problem, then I'm sure virgin camels are
available.
PeterD
That's right, virgin by decree, not fact.

How are they still virgins? Is it like the Xtian heaven, where the women
have no hole?
Thanks,

5. Owing to the current shortage of camels, which have mostly been
thrown out of Paradise for displaying their evil temper, the managment
have arranged a bulk order of virgin porcupines for your comfort and
convenience.
6. Virgin pigs are still in plentiful supply . . .

Q. Why is the camel called the ship-of-the-desert?
A. Because it's full of Arab seamen!

Where are all those heavenly harps made? Some kind of heavenly
Dickensian metalworking sweatshop?
I remember a (hopefully apocryphal) story of a Westerner asking a
Japanese person when the dead were going to rise from their graves to
enjoy the rice and oranges that were left there. The answer was that
it would be the same time the Westerner's deceased loved ones rose to
smell their flowers.

Barbara's husband? Poor bastard. No wonder he's looking for 72
virgins in his next life.

WTF? How do they talk?

It's the funny Greek u meaning micro.
Muhammad = uhammad
hammad is unit of how many hams are mad..
1 uhammad = 1E-6 hammads
The hammad is a preferred unit.
For example 106 hammads were studied.
http://www.kyrieology.com/drupal/wwje/madcow
'Some pigs in the United States may be infected with a porcine form of
mad cow disease, according to an alarming study by U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) scientists that has recently come to light.'
If one affected hammad were cut into 1 million pieces then each piece
is a Muhammad or uhammad or microhammad.
I'm guessing a Muhammad is less than the size of slice of bacon.

Don't become Muslimised, because you'd be a right Shi'ite at it.

Interestingly, the word "virgin" doesn't appear once in the entire
Koran, at least not in the English translation I found somewhere on the
'Net.

How about "maiden" or "spinster?"
Thanks,

Sure, because you'll get to be Holly's bottom bunkie.

Negative. There might have females mentioned, but in no context that
would allow them to be interpreted as some kind of trophy.

Since you asked:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houri#Reward_in_Paradise
In a collection by Imam at-Tirmidhi in his "Sunan" (Volume IV,
Chapters on "The Features of Heaven as described by the Messenger of
Allah", chapter 21: "About the Smallest Reward for the People of
Heaven", hadith 2687) and also quoted by Ibn Kathir in his Tafsir
(Qur'anic Commentary) of Surah Qur'an 55:72, it is stated that:
"It was mentioned by Daraj Ibn Abi Hatim, that Abu al-Haytham
'Adullah Ibn Wahb narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudhri, who heard the
Prophet Muhammad saying, 'The smallest reward for the people of Heaven
is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants and seventy-two
houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and
ruby, as wide as the distance from al-Jabiyyah to San'a."
Houri are described as "...humans and jinn who enter paradise after
being recreated anew in the hereafter", "restraining their glances
(chaste)", "wide and beautiful/lovely eyes","like pearls", "virgins",
"companions of equal age", "splendid..." "they wont fade away by time,
and ...they accompany their performers", "non-menstruating/urinating/
defecating and childfree or being able to have a short pregnancy
lasting an hour", "with bodies not affected by pregnancy or breast-
feeding", "60 cubits [27.5 meters] tall", "7 cubits [3.2 meters] in
width", "transparent to the marrow of their bones", "eternally young",
"hairless except the eye brows and the head"
Sounds scary as hell to me.
OTOH:
"Margaret Nydell states that mainstream Muslims regard this belief
about 72 virgins in the same way that mainstream Christians regard the
belief that after death they will be issued with wings and a harp, and
walk on clouds."

Sounds like the "Visible Woman" model kit I had as a kid. Pregnancy
was even less than one hour-- a snap-in/snap-out affair, though as not
to offend the sensibilities of the day, the pregnancy parts (belly,
fetus etc, and including the squished versions of her internal organs)
were segregated into a separate box inside the main box, so that
squeamish parents could remove it prior to giving it to the
youngsters.
Generally, I prefered the Visible Dog and (especially) the Visible V8
with moving parts. ;-)

They said 'virgin'. Gender was not specified.
Its entirely possible that they'll all have to take turns being each others
virgins.
