The interviewer invokes the Islamic prohibition against suicide against this would-be jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber. However, the Qur’an says: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed.” (9:111) Many Islamic scholars, including Qaradawi, have justified jihad-martyrdom suicide bombing by saying it is not suicide, but an attempt to kill and be killed for Allah.
The number seventy-two for the virgins of Paradise comes from the Hadith: “None is made to enter Paradise by Allah Most High except Allah Most High shall marry him to seventy-two wives, two of them from the wide-eyed maidens of Paradise and seventy of them his inheritance from the People of Hellfire, not one of them but her attraction never lags nor his arousal ever wanes.” (Ibn Majah; Ibn Adi’s Kamil; al-Bayhaqi’s al-Ba`th wal-Nushur)
Be sure to watch the whole video, as the transcript below is incomplete. “Let me blow myself, my 72 virgins are waiting for me in heaven: Pakistani suicide bomber,” India TV, August 3, 2015:
New Delhi: An arrested Pakistani suicide bomber said that he will blew himself because 72 virgins are waiting for him in heaven.
Interestingly, militant groups like ISIS also quote Islamic scriptures to point out that a suicide bomber will get 72 virgins in heaven.
The suicide bomber said that he will carry out the blast even if he founds his family members in the crowd.
According to him, a man who is a jihadi is true follower of Islam whereas others are not.
The suicide bomber, who is now under arrest in Pakistan, said that 72 virgins are waiting for him and there is no logic in marrying only one here.
Given below are the excerpts of his interview:
Q. Will you take revenge from all?
A. Yes, I will – as much as I can, even if it includes my family. If I go out for suicide bombing and I see my family there, even then I will blow myself
Q. In suicide bombing innocent Muslims and even those who hate America are killed.
A. No. Those who are not taking part in Jihad are not innocent. Only those are innocent who are taking part in the Jihad in Miranshah etc. We have no repentance, no sorrow for killing. If our leader orders us to kill two people and hundreds are killed in this process even then we will do.
Q. How many brothers and sisters you have?
A. 9, including me.
Q. Your family supports you for this? Do they (family) know about you?
A. They tried to stop me but I don’t care.
Q. Are you married?
A. No
Q. Do you wish to marry?
A. No, 72 virgins are waiting for me in heaven – so why I should prefer only one here?
Q. Are virgins waiting for those as well who are killed at your hands?
A. No. They will be treated there (hereafter) as per their intentions. If they support government, then they will be answerable accordingly. Our leader has told us that you will not be responsible for the killing of those who are killed other than your target.
No one in Pakistan is innocent. Whoever is outside Waziristan is not innocent, they will be innocent if they go and support Taliban (in their fighting).

What a wonderful Enlightened Chap He is ! What did He have for Breakfast ? 3 Koorans with Milk and Sugar ?
John spielman says
He is probably IMPOTENT, that’s why he wants to die in jihad
nicu says
I bet most are – that’s why they hate women !
jayell says
Well, if he’s impotent then he’ll keep all his virgins in pristine condition! Then, when he gets fed up with them (which won’t take long if that’s the way he is) he can flog them off for a bomb on an Islamic ebay! (Yes, the pun was intended).
Peter Buckley says
Fantastic. I was having an online conversation with a muslim the other day who was talking about it being wrong to kill “innocents”. He was using the word in the Western/ Christian sense, and refused to believe that “innocence” was defined differently under Islam/Sharia. I told him that if he was a true muslim, the word meant something completely different from his own interpretation.
I can now return to my conversation and link the muslim to youtube, to explain why he is wrong:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mBNFkEoPuE
The business about the 72 virgins was a side-issue for me. I was more interested in what he had to say about killing other muslims:
“Those who are not taking part are not innocent………..” etc.
More please, Robert.
Linde Barrera says
To Peter Buckley- As per your 7:19 am Aug. 3 post, please keep us advised of your efforts, and thank you.
Matthieu Baudin says
Many depressives are recruited to suicide bombing; I suspect that his man is one of them. It reminds one of the original ‘assassins’, young men doped up on hashish and sent on an errand to murder and self destruct. There is a very long history to this very cruel and single minded misery.
Angemon says
A bird in hand, etc.
Singh says
The mainstream media in America can’t say what an Islamist shooter’s motive is, but a moderate Muslim in Canada has no qualms.

mortimer says
Suicidal jihad has been endorsed and approved by Islam’s top theologians so it cannot be denied by any Muslim without committing a sin of ‘bida’ (uttering a new doctrine that contradicts classical Islam).
In 1998, Grand Imam Tantawi in an interview to al-Hayat, declared that Palestinian suicide attacks are legal under shari’a, stating that: “It is every Muslim, Palestinian and Arab’s RIGHT TO BLOW HIMSELF UP in the heart of Israel”.
In April 2001, Tantawi was quoted by Arabic newspapers Sut al-Ama (Egypt) and al-Hayat (London-Beirut) as stating that “SUICIDE OPERATIONS are of self-defense and a kind of martyrdom, as long as the intention behind them is to kill the enemy’s soldiers, and not women and children.”
Tantawi used the term ‘SUICIDE OPERATION’ with approval.
Paul says
72 virgins? Virgins that may or may not (and don’t) exist, as opposed
to actual virgins down here. Why do they need to be virgins anyway?
Islamic ‘logic’, the gift that just keeps on giving.
JIMJFOX says
“Why do they need to be virgins anyway?”
I reckon it’s basic Arab/Muslim misogyny; you’ll note that in jannah the lustrous-eyed,
full-breasted Houri are repaired by Allah after each session so the jihadi’s eternal
erection can experience popping her cherry for all eternity.
The devout Muslim man despises women and won’t marry a non-virgin because
she’s spoiled goods and a slut. All this is no problem in Islamic heaven…
jayell says
.”…. the lustrous-eyed, full-breasted Houri are repaired by Allah after each session….”
Really? So Allah’s into reconstructive surgery? And all these muslim females in the UK who’ve been ‘up to things’ before marriage have been getting this on the NHS when they could have got it for nothing? Do you think the UK taxpayer could sue Allah for the money back because it was his responsibility all along?
Paul says
LOL
jayell says
Thanks, mate, but I’m actually a UK taxpayer, and I’m not sure that the laugh isn’t on ME with this lot.
Paul says
I’m from the UK too, I completely understand. I wish the whole
lot would just go to join ISIS and get blown to bits by some
Shia militia or something. Mind you, even then the government
would ensure that millions more replaced them. I pray that one
day we have actual patriots in power, as opposed to the current
lot that are in.
Paul says
Muslim men, the epitome of sexual morality, and everything else
that’s moral, of course. The same people who worship a man
who married a six year old girl.
Paul says
Also, wouldn’t you be suspicious of some Imam that kept delegating
bombing missions to others and who was suspiciously too selfless
to enjoy an eternal leg over and the wonders of paradise himself?!
Sam says
This is a real Moslem and deserves respect. Kill him before he kills us.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Well put. As they say, timing is everything.
duh_swami says
He doesn’t have to settle for one…He can have four, if he can support them…Four live ones in bed is much better than 72 imaginary wives in a fairy tale land called Jannah, located somewhere in the sky. Of course if you are too poor and ugly to get even one wife, I suppose Jahhah is the next best bet…
One he gets there he will find no virgins, but there will be lots of raisins with big boobs….
JIMJFOX says
For anyone puzzled by this reference–
“The Qur’an describes the physical characteristics of the houri in many places, and a reading of relevant verses show that Luxenberg’s theory regarding heavenly white raisins is in error.
Raisins, which are dried grapes, cannot have large eyes,[17] big breasts,[20] cannot restrain their glances,[25] cannot be described as chaste,[25] or have any of the characteristics listed above. The Qur’an further states that men will be wed to these houri.[1] Men cannot be married to raisins or white grapes.”
It is a popular Islamic ‘defence’ based on the supposed mistranslation of the Arabic word ‘hur’.
It is of course bullshit- as required by Islam.
satch1 says
How disappointed when the 73 virgins to be found after their reward is only ‘boys’ that were beheaded for the only reason–being Christians. Lavish feasts are mentioned but never heard of any Muslim takeaways’. YHWH ,Adoni, the One True God says He is a jealous God and will have no others before Him! When this prophet calling himself Muhammad stands before Jesus Christ determining his eternal destiny, wonder how he will answer the question as to WHOM was he referring to by the name called Allah? I didn’t create anyone by That name? Was he just made up to back up lies in your book of Koran? God has a sense of humor but Muhammad won’t have! Will he admit it was Satan and not Gabriel who gave him the Koran verses?

Dante explains Mohammad’s fate very clearly in “The Inferno” section of “The Divine Comedy” (Canto 28, specifically).

Since when is dying and going to porno heaven suicide? Wearing a bomb vest and setting it off in a crowd of Infidels is not committing suicide, it’s making good on one’s commitment.
There are exceptions, take for example young Joel Henry Hinrichs, a mechanical engineering student at the U of Oklahoma, had converted to the Holy Islam after hearing the good news about it from his Paki roommates. So he naturally decided to go ahead and don a suicide bomb vest and go into the stands at a sunny Saturday afternoon home football game against the Kansas State Wildcats and mass murder a couple of hundred Sooner fans. But the bomb self-detonated early and splattered Joel’s body parts all over cars in the parking lot.
Now, to me Joel wasn’t a hero. He was a loser. If he had taken his Islam seriously, he woulda been more careful with his suicide vest and got that mass murder accomplished like the Holy Prohet would’ve wanted. But he didn’t. To me that means Joel was a loser, a bad Moslem. I’m glad he didn’t get his 72 virgins cuz he didn’t deserve them, he hadn’t earned them. The guy probably never got laid in his life, and I hope his rotten virgin ass is rotting in hell now. By flopping in his mass murder attempt he tells me that he was really suicidal in the first place, he didn’t really want to go to Islam Porno Heaven like his Paki roommates probably wanted to, Joel really wanted to die. Loser.
Cecilia Ellis says
APF, I had forgotten about this incident until I saw your comment. After reading your post, I looked up Joel Hinrichs. Shockingly . . . yes . . . shockingly . . .”the FBI formally declared that there was no evidence Hinrichs was a terrorist . . . No indications were found that Hinrichs was an extremist, had extremist views, or was working with anyone else to make and explode the bomb . . . Agents with the Norman police and bomb squad said that Hinrichs likely “got cocky” with his explosives – a witness saw Hinrichs rummaging around his backpack shortly before it detonated.”
“There was already speculation among some bloggers and pundits that Hinrichs was a Muslim, but the news of a Pakistani roommate ignited louder rumors that Hinrichs was an Islamic convert who attended the same Norman mosque Zacarias Moussaoui previously attended. Ashraf Hussein, the president of OU’s Muslim Student Association, said he had never seen Hinrichs at a mosque and that he did not believe Hinrichs was Muslim.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_University_of_Oklahoma_bombing
Dear God! One has to wonder just what it would take to declare Hinrichs a terrorist or an extremist or a Muslim extremist. Who the hell carries a backpack laden with a two-to-three pound TATP explosive?
As usual, the local mosque had no recollection of Hinrichs ever attending.
Glad you brought this individual up, a classic example of political correctness when it comes to investigating and reporting incidences of Muslim “outreach” to non-Muslims.
RG says
Oh my God Almighty, what an incredible, hopeless idiot this guy is!!! What a god-awful way to go through life–dreaming about death constantly! What’s more, their “sacred” writings apparently don’t even promise them 72 pure virgins from their (non-existent, pipe-dream) islamic paradise, but rather “seventy of them [come] from the People of Hellfire”. WHAAAA!!!! SEVENTY BITCHES FROM HELLFIRE!!! OMG! I thought it was bad enough that islam taught this kind of delusional crap in the first place, but “70 OF THEM” COME FROM HELL!!! Talk about a demented delusional doctrine of DEMONS!!!!! WHEW! Please tell me that this is not what our Western dhimmi governments are supporting as intellectual religious freedom…. Does anyone recognize this delusional insanity for what it is–A PACK OF FREAKING LIES!!!!!
Walter Sieruk says
What strong Islamic deception those Muslims who are suicide /homicide bombers are under. Many times this deception is so power and the jihadist is so very deluded that many of them have actually made death recording talking about “the wedding with the virgins” .he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being base on false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30 The religious teachers, as those imams, who teach such things [religious stories] are false teachers of whom the Bible warns of in the Bible. For in Second Peter 1:18 it reads “They speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure though the lust of the flesh…” The reader might notice that those imams never themselves go out and commit the suicide bombing. They just brainwash other people into the the mindset and wanting to commit the murderous bombings. if those Muslim clerics really believe doing such a act is a grand thing to do, let them do it. Those Muslim who are so thoroughly mind programmed into believing in the “virgin story ” are very deluded. The Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. Furthermore, those bombing attacks are ,in reality murder and the Bible teaches that a murderer “shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven.” Galatians 5;21. [K.J.V]

So, even in heaven, the devotees of the Koran are still misogynistic devotees of sperm pressure, and are still on dog level.
But then, does the soul have sperm?
Peggy says
Is that the only reason these idiots kill? These idiots are so preoccupied with getting some that they can’t concentrate on anything else.
For a society which kills for having sex out of wedlock they are obsessed with it. Even animals don’t live for sex only. Imagine after blowing himself up he gets to the gates only to find a sign “no Muslims allowed, please take the stairs going down”. All the virgins (his would be victims) waving him goodbye.
citycat says
I think all that sex stuff with 71 virgins and their wives being dealitorized is because Allah or Muhammad or someone is jealous of the masses loving one another, 74 virgins means no long term loving relationship, no deals going down without Allah’s cut.
Type of thing.
Jinn Al Shaytaan says
The interview is conducted in Urdu, which is very similar to my mother-tongue (Hindi). This is one of the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. The part about 72 virgins is nothing comparing with the rest of the things he was saying. According to him, Jihad is all there is. He is willing to blow himself up even though he know there are little children around. He said he don’t care if there are innocent bystander.
If his own family is around, they need to die too. An evil cult.
Steph says
Wouldn’t it piss you off, after bowing & grovelling all your life, going to all the trouble to built a suicide vest, only to blow yourself up, it all went black and there were no virgins …
Too late to realise Alla was full of shit
yohanes j says
I am Ex Muslim, from Indonesia. I Love Jesus Christ and hope, Indonesia with No-Islam. Islam in Indonesia, such as FPI, barbaric.
Lioness says
I always wondered how they remain virgins after the martyrs have their way with them. Or is it that they are discarded after the act and new virgins are brought in. All very puzzling to the simple-minded infidel.
Peggy says
This must be a men only heaven. Imagine those poor virgins being raped only to magically become virgins again and suffer through the dame ordeal time after time.
So when a female suicide bomber blows herself up where does she go? To the same heaven to become a virgin again and be raped over and over?
At what age does one get the virgins? An eight year old boy is blown up, does that mean he gets all those virgins but they are little girls?
This whole thing is enough to make your head spin.
Cecilia Ellis says
Peggy, that must be why Muhammad said the marjority of those who were in hell were women . . . they chose that option over the heavenlly opportunity to be repeatedly raped for all eternity, which would, by definition, be hell itself.
Cecilia Ellis says
Make that “heavenly.”
Champ says
This whole thing is enough to make your head spin.

Indeed, Peggy! …the whole idea of sex heaven is simply ridiculous.
Peggy says
They’ll be all holding their copies of Muslim verson of Kama Sutra (unholy Koran) while going on a frenzy of raping virgins.
