If the men of Islam get 70 virgins, what do the women get?
It's been a while since I read up on this, but is it true that a woman cannot get into paradise without her husband? If so, is her paradise to get to watch?
*oops! 72.
If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
and finally this verse gives reason for the crusades.
Cursed be he who does the Lords work remissly, cursed he who holds back his sword from blood. (Jeremiah 48:10 NAB)

Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
-- I Corinthians 14:34-35 (NIV)
If a man [meets] a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her ... He must marry the girl ... He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
-- Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (NIV)
"Have you allowed all the women to live?" he [Moses] asked them.... "Now ... kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
-- Numbers 31:1-18 (NIV
From what I've read it seems that the Islamic vision of Paradise is a vast and beautiful garden of eternal bliss, with four rivers and eight gates and golden palaces and fantastic clothes and jewelry and all the food you can eat and eternal youth and all the usual pie-in-the-sky-when-you-die wish fulfillment stuff.
What's this "72 virgins" thing, and where did you hear about it? Do you have any sort of reliable source for it?
Islam treats women like a side note. It's like "yeah, they're bipeds, we fuck them, they squeeze out new Muslims. Great, we'll treat them like camels.". The Islamic religion is aimed at converting men b/c it doesn't consider women to really be important. It's just assumed that the men do all the heavy thinking and decision making and the women are just property. It's the most backwards sexually oppressive intolerant religion on Earth and the liberals are defending it. Bizarre. It's like they have no idea that they've become, morally, the same as Klan and Nazi sympathizers. I mean, the Klan or the Nazis do enough fucked up shit and everybody realizes that they're gigantic assholes. Muslims do fucked up shit and the liberals think they're back in the 50's and the Muslims are the black people. Wrong. It's more like we're back in the creation of America and the Muslims are the Europeans. The 'West' are the native Americans.
Thing is, liberals never admit this and I think the reason why is that liberals abandon the label 'liberal' when they're ready to admit it. That could be why 'liberalism' is identified with 'person who kisses Islam's butt all day'. If that's the case, hey, I admit, I'm guilty of that same thing. I used to be a liberal and I left for that reason. Eh. When the ranks of the conservatives grow and grow b/c of this very thing, there will be no 'liberals'. There will just be conservatives and Muslims. That should be interesting.
While the men are off having mass orgies, the women in Paradise get an hour of free cable access to 1990's Oprah re-runs for every ten years they wore their little black Teletype veil.
