Islamic Jihad Sending Female Suicide Bombers

[scribblet]

Darn, no equality here for female suicide bombers - served by dwarfs - are there that many dwarfs in paradise?

Mark Steyn reports on oddities in the news:

In Gaza, Islamic Jihad is planning to send waves of female suicide bombers into action against the Zionist Entity. Asked by an Israeli reporter whether self-detonating ladies enjoy the same 72-virgin deal as the lads, an Arab scholar said no, but that the gals will be served in Paradise by "dwarfs."

Guess you could say they are getting the short end of the deal

Where do these Imams come up with this stuff and they all buy into it !

I wonder if there are enough virgins in paradise to go around. Or do they share them.

I wonder the same thing about transubstantiation.

Can't we Christians have a moment to ourselves? LOL!

Or maybe there's something about dwarves that we don't know about? LOL

Next thing we'll know will be about their platoon of toddlers suicide bombers with the 72-jar deal of gummy bears!

Just another point in the long list that shows how religion is poison. There are people who truly believe this crap and are willing to murder others over it.

Let us not be too hasty to scoff at another culture's beliefs. I would like to hear more about these "dwarfs" before I come to a conclusion.

They might be referring to midgets (or whatever the politically correct term is) in which case I'd agree, that sounds like the crappiest "eternal paradise" I've ever heard of. (Although, it should be pointed out that the concept of a virtuous maiden being exiled to the company of a band of dwarfs is not unprecidented in the west.)

However, what if by "dwarfs" they are actually referring to magical gnomes?

Fairies?

Leprechauns?

Toy-making elves?

Munchkins?

Or Oompa-Loompas?

Now, what girl wouldn't want to spend her afterlife with a loveable band of fairies or magic gnomes? This is the kind of enchanting whimsy that made Walt Disney a wealthy man. It's almost enough to make me think about blowing myself up, in fact, if I could only find a suitable cause. At any rate, does 72 fairies really sound so bad compared to western notions of the afterlife, which I gather revolves largely around cream-cheese?

And while we're at it, do you really think the whole "72 virgins" thing is really as good as the hype? I'm skeptical. First off, virgins are not actually very good in bed. Secondly, what happens to the virgins when they're not virgins anymore? Does our martyr have to marry them? Or do the virgins get executed for being adulterous whores? Either way, it's not terribly good for our martyr. He's going to be henpecked times 72, or else he's going to be lonely. 72 virgins would keep our guy occupied for roughly 36 minutes, I am guessing, and then what? He's looking for another bomb so he can blow his ass out of paradise to get away from his 72 wives. Or else the virgins are all gone and the place is a sausage-fest. An eternity of hanging out with other suicide bombers, wondering where all the babes went? Is that really the kind of afterlife these guys want to have?

Actually, no. I have it from high authority that at the schools of potential bombers, the original request was for 72 sheep. The imam-in-charge however refused to allow the sheep into paradise because he knew that not one of those sheep was a virgin.

Better or worse than communism, socialism or psycho analysis?

I am reminded of a book by Jose Phillip Farmer.....

Funny stuff LOL I wonder, 72 magical elves - now maybe if it was that elf from Lord of the Rings, what's his name - (he's in Pirates of the Carib.) it would be a bit of allright
